awesome and one other question. My savage is doing wheelies, and it is completely stock. Is this normal? I am going to get a vid pretty soon hopefully. it is awesome. And mine does 33 mph right out of the box on factory settings ( not leaned out one bit). I will get a pic to so you can see it is stock. thanks, drew

Shark, do un have the hyper 8-port? it sounds like you do but not listed in your mods. I used to have the 8-port in my monster pirate, it came with that engine, but i got a new one and put that engine in my boat. It made the boat real fast. It didnt have enough low end for my 1 speed pirate. Maybe if i try the 086 pipe it will be better.

hyper 8 port
i dont have a 8 port. i just bought a xtm from ebay, the seller
will ship it to me tomorrow.
i chose xtm over 8 port for several reasons.
1. my LHS sells that engine so they should have some parts and acces.. for it.
2. Torque is more important than speed for a monster truck.
3. hyper 8 port's pull starter is so weak, you might need to have
3 spare ones.
4. xtm is easy to break in ( i am a newbie)
5. with a nova headsink, xtm might loose the "fuel frinking problem" (my nova headsink was shipped to me today, UPS)
