So you've thrown your Revo out of an airplane?
I've done everything short of that, and I can tell you right now, no Revo can handle the sort of abuse a true extreme basher dishes out.
Those are not hard numbers, but it is funny to watch you evade the point of the post. It sure would be hard for you to admit that a Picco 28 actually outputs nearly twice the torque and HP of your engine.
"Better" gearing? What is this supposed to mean? Better for acceleration or top speed? Do you have any idea what you are talking about, or are you just basing this on intuition?
I must be missing something if my understanding of the Revo's potential speed is an underestimate. Supertib couldn't push a Revo over 50mph with a highly modified Picco 28, yet he succeeded with a Savage. Explain that one?
Wrong setup? I don't know... I didn't watch the build of that Revo....
Ok, so the .28 puts out a lot more power than my TM323... so what? What's your point? The Revo still is 25% lighter... and geared better.... for both accelleration AND top speed. (with a Revo... it IS possible to have both... with enough torque / HP) With a wide ratio gearset, .23+ motor and 17/35 gearing... I could get a Revo to 50+MPH. You Savage guys make me laugh... you have a hard time admitting that the Savage has flaws and isn't the BEST thing since sliced bread. I'm not saying that about the Revo OR LST2... I like 'em... but I know they have their downfalls... but, I guarantee my Revo could handle the same bashing, if not more, in it's current form (stock except for upgraded motor)... being "unintelligently modded"
