Sorry, I haven't had any "first hand" experience with that kit. You could send me one for X-ms and i'll let you know how it turns out though lol.

I am buying one tomorrow evening.

But I don't expect I will have much time to break it in until after the new year. We're supposed to have poor weather this weekend here, and then after that I will be traveling for the holidays on most weekends. I don't want to break it in halfway now and then leave it set for 2 months and then go back to try to finish the break in. I'm not sure if that would make any difference or not, but I would rather wait until I know for sure that I have time to break it in properly.

I will probably use the time to take it apart and rebuild it, since I'd rather have a kit anyways but don't want to shell out the extra scratch!

The motors are not as powerful as the K4.6 but it is still quick.When my shop had a speed contest I personally clocked one of them box stock at 46mph so it is no slug.

[ericem]

So why did they make that dumb video saying it goes 60mph. Looked so funny jumped from like 30mph to 60 mph was pretty funny actually.

From hpiracing.com, "...with a scorching top speed of more than 45 MPH."

I only know because I have been obsessing on that website this week :)

I'm yet to see a video that claims anything higher than 45, which, as josh informs us, is a valid claim.

Of course I am not saying the video doesn't exist, I just went straight to the printed source.

[ericem]

I remember not to long ago seeing a video about the Savage and it showed them with a radar gun and it showed like 55mph or something. Can't find it now though.

Guarantee that was not stock gearing.
Actually, we have a guy with a Sure Fire 32, and the tallest gearing and he couldn't really get it past 50, even with the 3 speed.
Wheelies quite nicely though. :D

Ok, I bought my Savage 4.6 RTR this weekend. Unfortunately the weather was bad, so I didn't get a chance to fire it up and try it out.

However, I did learn one lesson...

This truck is too large to fit into the trunk of a Mazda RX-8! :roll2:

Maybe if I take the wheels and body off...

[rccardude04]

lol... I'll trade you an MX-3 for an RX8. You can fit a 6x3' table in there... it's not comfortable but it can be done.
You'll need a clutch however.
LOL. Can't blame me for trying? :)

[YeahYeahYouWere]

Is the 6x3' table included in the deal?! :D

I almost got a Kitchen Table in my Maxda Familia GT. Almost being the key word. :(
