Need help with gearing
I've got a Mach .26 on my Savvy and it's quite fast but i was wondering how to gear this thing? It seems to be good but people talk about doing wheelies etc. and i could never do one unless i hit the brakes hard in grass then hit it. Any suggestions? my gearing right now is stock.
Oh yeah what about tire sizes too?

RE: Need help with gearing
I just put one of those in my Savage25ss and I cannot keep the wheels on the ground, even with it running break in rich.
I've got the same gearing as when it had the .25 on it which, if I recall, is 15t cb, 47t spur. I believe I'm going to change the spur to a 52t and see if the helps the back flipping some.

if you go from a 47t spur to a 52t spur it will prolly flip even easier

no same tires and rims, check your tuning it could be a lil rich on the bottom end.

RE: Need help with gearing
Ah yeah you're right, i was thinking of the 4.6 i think it has different tires. Yeah I just finished break in so i haven't really pushed it to the limit by leaning it out too much but i'll make a couple minor adjustments to lean it out and see if that helps.
