"Practical" bashing conditions are just that, practical. As high as I can go. Anywhere from 10 to 30ft in the air, as well as accidentally hitting objects at full throttle is practical. Throwing the truck out of an airplane is not.
As far as your TM323 making similar torque and HP numbers to a Picco 28, LMAO! The RB makes 47oz/in of torque and 1.22HP on Nitrodyne's X-dyno. The Picco would make about 80oz/in of torque and close to 2hp on the same dyno. Not even close.
Oh, you got me... my Revo can't even keep up with a MiniT...
I'm telling you, bro... you're underestimating the speed / gearing of a Revo. You're talking a 25% lighter truck... with better gearing and a very powerful engine.
BTW - "The Picco would make about 80oz/in of torque and close to 2hp on the same dyno."
About? Close to? Those aren't hard numbers... Keep in mind... a Savage has to be a 4.6 to be able to beat a 2.5R Revo's accelleration...
Oh, and keep in mind... "practical" does not mean over 20' in the air... of course, i'm talking EXTREME bashing conditions... but, I guess your Savage can't handle that.
