Default Savage 8 port against a t-maxx

Well, speaking from experience, my Savage coupled with 16 T clutch bell and a Hyper 8 port was crazy fast. I now have a picco .26 and must say it is also crazy fast, but not quite as fast as the 8 port. I am still running a little rich too.

However, whomever posted above that the picco .26 will wheelie the Savage even when already moving was 100 % correct. Matter of fact, it wheelies so much I had to glue on the tires to my wheelie bar (check my gallery button below).

I also run stiffer springs, so I actually adjusted the wheelie bar lower than in pictures.

The 8 port with 16T would also wheelie, but only from complete stop.

I must point out that I have completely stripped two brake hubs now. Going faster takes more to stop.

I am now currently looking for better brake set up.

BTW, if anybody cares, I would recommend the picco .26 over the stocker or the 8 port.
