Stupid questions, I know.

[silvergagt04]

Ok, I have 2 stupid questions. First, what is the fastest you think you can get a Savage?(TOP SPEED) I know they aren't made to fly, and I have a TC3that flys so I am just looking for something different that flys.. Second, how light do you think you can get a savage down to? (keeping in mind that it wouldnt see air time)

I'll let you know on the 2nd question

I have a eight point five pound savage that is as light as I have heard of.

as far as speed , I have heard of modifying a revo spur gear to fit savy for more top end. you may have to dremel your TVP`s to accommodate the large gearing

actually bud the Revo spur is smaller than the Savage spurs (less teeth, higher speed, smaller diameter) so it actually fits easier...

yep thats right smaller you go the faster you go, and i know that my stock 25 is 12 pounds soooo just a starter for you on how much you can lighten things

Once you have accomplish this, record a video of it

Crash...post a pic and spec/stat list of your 8.5 pounder for us...I'm trying to thin my Racer down to a competitive race weight, despite most everyone saying it's impractical, if not impossible...

This is sizing up to sound like a challenge....The biggest loser in savage weight!!

Or go bigger on the CB for more speed. But not all combinations work.

Put Goliath or Phaltline tires on it too. Larger diameter, they are also wider and lower profile making them more stable at higher speeds.
