How does that 5.9 do with those goliaths?

The tires that come on the XL and the goliaths are the same outer diameter.......7" so its all good....

 

[Dreadnaught]

oh. gotchya. I'm lookin to get the 5.9 for my x. i think it will make it a wheelie machine, prollly have to fab up a wheelie bar like crash has got.

 

[SunkenMetal]

I'm not a big fan of wheelies what can i say I'm a dork. but the 5.9 will make ya wheelie lots of low end power.

Can I ask you to please get a video of that thing running around. I want to see how that motor preforms?

Also, what are your thoughts on it, Does it have good high end power as well as low end power?

By the way you have a great looking truck there.

I don't have a video camera, but i am going to Best Buy today...so maybe ill get one....

Not as much high end power as low end.... I'm thinking about trying out a BuKu see if improves.....

Yeah I noticed the thing launches pretty quickly..but i didn't get to see the top end...

The 3 speed helps out with the top end though...

looks sweet, how does it compare to the other savages?

those are hpi tremor wheels wrapped in goliath tires.

Its not the same wheel, but here is a link to the tires on the HPI site.

i run that combo taht you linked on my savvy. i have to say i like them better than the tremor wheels, they stay cleaner and don't wad up junk in the rums. easier to clean too.

I use the Goliath's for bashing and they ROCK! My first upgrade I am going to get when I get my XL will be those.

Lets try to hook up soon for some bashing and I'll get some video of it for you.

Compaired to my experiance with the Savage25 i had its better, comes with lots of goodies like the hump pack and charger tuned pipe 3 speed.... its longer the turning radius is bigger, and its a bit nose heavy in the air.... but ill get over it.

 

[whipnet]

those are hpi tremor wheels on blast rims.

They are the Goliath tires.

[SunkenMetal]

Yep they are Goliath Tires, i wasnt sure about the Rims.... i got them at my LHS. they were preglued i hate gluing tires, so when i get a chance ill get some bead locking wheels.....:motorcycle:

 

[Dreadnaught]

I'm gonna pick up a set of axial black 8 hole rims. i haven't had to glue a set yet, and i got 2 sets of tires from doesgo coming, so beadlocks are soon behind.

 

[Dreadnaught]

They are the Goliath tires.

thanks, i was thinking about my tires and those at the same time.

 

[SunkenMetal]

Its all good hpi makes 2 different tires that look alot alike.....
