I think a properly setup and driven Savage can beat the Revo's...... I have seen it done several times already ...Providing the track is open and not overly technical the Savage can do quite well... On a tight technical track then the Revo might have more advantages.... I have attended several big races where there were a huge number of MT's, and what seems to be the most important aspect is keeping the vehicle together moreso then actual track performance...... At the 2009 Canadian Winter Nationals there were 16 MT's that started the A-Main, but by the end of the race only 6 trucks were running and only 4 of those had stayed on the track the entire race, 2 had to pull off for repairs and were not in contention when they came back on the track... Tracks are hell on MT's and as a result the chances of a DNF are very high, much higher then the other classes...so to me most of the battle is just going to be keeping the truck from breaking.. even if the competition is slightly faster, their chances of breaking are very high, so driving clean and not crashing are far more important then any other factor.... Yes a Savage can compete, it may not be the sharpest best handling machine on the track, but as long as it doesn't break the chances of winning can be quite good......

You need to ditch the 3 speed tranny and stick with the 2 speed. I think a savage has potential be a good racer with a lot of money and upgrades...I say go for and the best of luck to you on your race..I hope you win...I use to race a LST2 and won aagainst revos all the time..Since then I moved out of the mt calss an into truggy and buggy....Sometimes I think about racing it again just to spoil the revo racers win streak

that is not what I am saying at all LMAO LOL ...both trucks will fly apart quicker then you could imagine if you start crashing and being aggressive ...tracks kill MT's.....Whichever driver stays clean and avoids crashes is the one thats going to win...MT racing is as much about keeping the machine together as it is about going fast....

Okay just a update. I got everything together. Just in the process of breaking in the new motor. As far as the trans goes this is the plan. I am going to make a two speed flux trans for it as it has to be a two speed and this motor will blow the nitro trans to peices. I am also custom making it so that it will have a center diff in the bottom to make it a lot more forgiving on the track and bashing but still will keep the two speed requirement for the MT class.
Here are some pics.

That race will have some fast revo's. I know a few of the guys running....they are previous winners of some big races. All of them run Revo's and E-revo's. I see one Savage signed up and 2 Losi's.....the rest are Revo's. Best time to race to make a point about how fast "X" truck is against a Revo.
