Default Racing the Savage/T-Maxx

i like savage better. the chassis design of t-maxx is so out of

date. the dual verticle chassis that savage has makes the

mass to stay close to the center point.

this design gives savage good jumping ability and much better

handling.

some people like t-maxx's top end speed. pooh, is the TOP

speed so important to a Monster Truck? why not to get a buggy?

t-maxx engine---1.3 hp

savage engine--1.7 or 1.8 hp

t-maxx is about 9.5 pounds

savage is about 15 pounds


savage can use hyper 21 8 port(2.5hp, 120 bucks) directly

t-maxx can be upgraded to a 0.21 engine with a 130 bucks

converter kit

after this update, t-maxx will have nothing to compare with

savage.

some people say"power starter is good". trust me, after a month,

you will want a pull starter.

what is the disadvantage of pull-starter? it is that you need to pull. who in this forum has the problem of pulling? maybe someone who still goes to pre-school.
