still kind of a noob to the rc scene,but i was wondering,has anybody put a really big motor in their savage?i thught about getting the thunder tiger pro .70,but it seems kind of tricky to shoehorn that in.Any info or opinions would be great.

Bigger is not always better. The TT .70 produces gobs of torque, but doesn't rev very high. This will severely limit top speed unless you alter the gearing. Actually fitting the engine into a Savage could be very tricky, not to mention how thirsty such a large engine will be.

The Sure Fire .32 is a direct drop in I think, check out the review on RCU.

yeah i think that new .32 will spank the tiger engine.I saw on new era models theve got a con kit to put the .70 in,but the gearing would be a big issue,hmmmmmm...

Whoa G

Go for the sure fire .32, it sounds way better than the os, more options and stuff,

i watched the review video of the sure fire .32 from rcu. that savage runs like a stock! i also watched the review of the new cen series 55 wheels (was it 55?) and that LST is kickin' and it only have tha os .30 in it.

no bigger is not always better i just bought a picco .27 and i beat .28s all day the only one i can't beat is the sirro .28 and that along with the .30+ can leave me in the dust if they make one slight error it's passing time

for racing it a no cause of fuel consumption but general bashing it could be awesome i saw a vid of a tt.70 powered titan and it was jerked around the park like a light weight[X(] that engine with proper gearing will kill all the 32- engines in a drag race not to mention with that type of torque you could run jumbo maxx tires with ez and check this out

sweet pics and info on the install,the .70 would never fit in the stock chassis.what is the power rating on that beast?I'll probably end up fabbing some ext tvp's an a long driveshaft,Ifigure about 30-35 mph with a 26 tooth clutch and a 49 spur.

Go Novarrasi .28 8-port that puts out some serious power beleive me!
