Default Savage 8 port against a t-maxx

I've never had it clocked but it moves allot faster than it did with the 21bb.I'm also using the Big Joe 40's and it still moves pretty good but I did notice a little decrease in acceleration but with the Road rage 40's it really hauls off the line.I think it' doing at least 40-45 if not faster.


Someone should write one of these editors from a popular Mag. and ask them if they can do some type of a "Budget Buildup" on the T-Maxx and Savage and see who comes out on top.They could do the same tests as they did before(speed,handling,jumping...ect.) on a budget of like 250$$ or something and setup the suspension and change the servo's and engines drivetrain,and gearing and then see what happens.The T-Maxx might be at a slight dis-advantage with the chassis not being set up for a .21 but if the Sirio engine is as powerfull as everyone says then it should be interesting to see the results.
