My friend has a savage , and Ive been runnin circles around him (we just bash) but recently he bought a new motor,a 427 or something. I know its a big block, its cooling head is copper/bronz looking but anyway It made a huge difference. Its pulling the wheels off the ground and has good top end. He had replaced his tranny before w/ a 2 speed but he still couldnt touch me. Ive been out of commision for while so when I come back Im concerned Im gonna loose my title !!



Gimme some suggestions..motors or anything else.


Thanks guys.

Not trying to be a dick or anything but if you looked 2 threads down, there is a thread about the same topic....

edit, never mind.

sorry a revo. hate to be a noob but what is "savvy" . would I just need the bb conversion kit from traxxas? is sts the company that makes it. can i get it from tower or do they have a website?


Vega , F' that thread, this one is mine...

Savvy is a HPI Savage. I can sense Howard's delete post stick coming around.

warhead666

can you answer any of my ?'s above ??

ttoks

not f that thread, if you took the time to look on there you would find 2 engines that will make you competitive to the mach 427 in your mates savvy, and more importantly making threads when you could just read in another is wasting bandwidth, which is expensive, and that sort of language is unacceptable on these forum.

I think the Search button will do a awesome job!

If you really want just get the same motor because no matter what he does your stil about 4 lbs lighter. You will need a big block mount from New Era Models. Its like $50. The sts .30 is NOT a beginners engines. So i wouldn't recomend it for you.

My brother had a Muggy with that Mach motor in it. I could still beat him in a drag race when my 3.3 Revo was stock.

LSTVega28

It probably took you a little time to catch up to him with his center diff.

6speednissan

He always pulled off the line, but then I would make up the ground quick and slowly pull away depending on how much open road we had. The Muggy was nice, but it had terrible clutch problems and they weigh a ton.

sorry for using the F letter...

PiccoLow

Just pray you never accidently let loose a 'Z'.....Cause then you'd be really in twouble

ttoks

lol, you can fit thesame mach 427 in your revo (although you shouldn't worry, the mach 427 isn't to much more powerful then the savvy 4.1 engine so he wont of gained that much)

WarRaven

Your stock revo should still take em

However it may not, but an OS or a Picco Would anti you up again.

Keep in mind, if you dont have a CD (Center Differential) You will wheelie like mad outa the hole, and as a result lose a lot of ground off the line.
(If not outright flip it)

Imo, and very noob at that friend, i would be go Picco(I did recently myself), I'd hazard it has more low rpm grunt for a basher.

But if your hell bent on straight line racing i am sure their are better mills then this.

This is all worth exactly what you paid for it as its all imo.

Peace

i run an RB TM523, and it's flip happy with no CD, you need to learn something called throttle control, not many of us MT guys seem to know what thats means, most MT guys have two speed, idle and WOT.

Very True[sm=lol.gif]

warhead666

so would I take him w/ a os 18 tm? It sounds like the more convienent way to go for a rookie. Or do I need to go big block?

ttoks

you'll take him with the 3.3, the O.S isn't much more powerful then the 33, only a little bit, it's just a much nicer engine then the 3.3 because it's so easy to tune and such.

nitro fanatic

i vote rb tm523 or tm323 it comes with mount and pipe. I have the tm323 and my revo is flip crazy too, and ttoks is right you do have to learn throttle control!!
