Savage vs. FG Marder Truck
A friend of mine got himself an FG Marder and he also has a Savage , but he wanted something bigger and yes it is way bigger than the Savage.
Today we did a drag race between my Savage and his FG and my Savage was faster off the line , but his top speed was faster than my Savage.
I raced him with my Sirio .30 geared 18/49 and Dirt Bonz tyres and also the 3 speed , The FG marder is bone stock.
Next time I will race him with my K4.6 and I should be able to keep up with him.
I'll post the results and for sure a video of the race.

Until he installs the two speed, the without jets you will not catch him. I have the two speed in my FG monster truck with a huge tuned pipe and alot more but with my new gearing I should be close to 70mph on the 8inch bigfoot tires.

I also don't like the rear wheel drive thing , is there an upgrade to 4 wheel drive ?
Thanks

Today I raced my friend's FG Marder Truck again but this time with my K4.6 geared 19/47 , 3 speed and Dirt Bonz tyres and as I expected I was able to beat him off the line and also on top speed , but top speed was much closer.

RE: Savage vs. FG Marder Truck
I have two savages and a Marder truck as you call it and a Leopard on the way. My truck has alot of hop-ups including the two speed(modified) and an O'neill pipe as well as a ported and balanced 27cc motor 70mph not going to happen with the the current radio technology. I run out of range before I run out of engine. If I had a half mile of asphalt and a radio that would cover the distance without tripping the failsafe I have no doubt it would hit 70 but slowwing down from 55 is scary enough with hydro fronts and tuning rear brakes. Don't try that with the stock brakes; 50+ into an immovable object will bend the frame and destroy every piece of plastic and bend most of the aluminum. My frequency got pirated and took mine staight into a cinderblock wall at about 35; one word EXPENSIVE.
Good luck

*OUCH*
Is it worth trying to buy a used 1:6 scale?
I couldn't afford and accident that costs $1000 + hopups
bibo: i haven't heard about a 4wd conversion

That is the only drawbacks I have with the big scale is space to run and cost. I have about a half acre with a house on it and it is all most to small for my Savage and my stadium trucks. [8D]

RE: Savage vs. FG Marder Truck
come on you can't keep up with a monster that has more than 5 times your displacement and much more stable chassis it has the raw torque to get it up to the crazy speeds and with a 2 speed the engine would still have more than enough torque to drive the tall gears it's a battle of rpm for savage to match the torque of the weed wackers!!!!!!! trust me it wouldn't happen.[>:]
