Okay guys, lets put this to an end, please.
I'd like to Jim, but this tool is actually trying to tell me that his STOCK Revo is capable of withstanding more abuse than a Savage that is built from the ground up using far superior materials and properly designed force reduction (elastic) points. I suppose it is my nature to get sucked into arguments with only the most stubborn and clueless individuals on the internet.
LOL... can't prove your point, so you resort to name calling and degrading comments? Truly superior.
I'd bet my truck that the radar gun he is using is not reading accurately. Supertib clocked an XTM 247 powered Savage at somewhere around 55mph using a radar gun, then switched to different tires, and was getting readings of mid 30's. Truth is, you need a very good quality radar gun to accurately clock Nitro MTs, because cheaper guns will often read the velocity of the top of the tire. That truck is probably close to 50mph.
About the gearing, I'm sorry, but you have no idea how fast 50mph actually is. The difference between 45mph and 50mph is the difference between a stock Savage XL running the low revving 5.9 engine and the terrible HPI polished pipe, and supertib's highly modified Picco 28s running an 086 pipe, similar gearing and identical tires. Using the highest gearing you could fit in your Revo, you would be lucky to break 45mph.
I think you're about to lose your truck.... yes, I know how fast 50MPH actually is... my Tahoe and S10 both will go 50MPH... that looks like a bushnell radar gun, which is one of the most accurate for R/C and sports (if it can pick up a baseball... it should be able to pick up a Revo). I'm sorry to insult you with the idea that ANYTHING may POSSIBLY be better than a Savage... but... the Revo is lighter and better geared... and you're not going to put your money where your mouth is... neither am I... so, if you can't say anything else other than calling people names and insulting them, then you have said your piece and so have I.
Oh yeah, and when did the memo go out about Supertib being the end-all-be-all of R/C speed? I must have missed that one. You people need to CC: me on those!
