View Full Version : Hoe-Lee Shee-Ott!

Well, finally got the Sportwerks .26 in my Savage broken in and tuned up.
All I can say is.................Hoe-Lee Shee-Ott! Damn thing screams! It
must be the pipe (HPI Polished) as I have the exact same engine in my buggy
(THS 8015T pipe) and truggy (Sportwerks HT Pipe) and neither are as ballsy
as this thing is. Going DOWN my driveway (downhill) at around 15mph, 1/4
throttle blip brings the fronts off the ground. Wheelies on command with
the slightest throttle input from a dead stop. Top speed is insane! All
this running 230-250* which indicates I can still further lean if I so
choose.
I need to get a few more polished pipes for my buggy and truggy now as this
engine really likes em'!
Doc's recommended Savage Setup:
Sportwerks .26
HPI Polished Pipe
Motor Saver Air Filter
16/49 gearing
Mugen Alu clutch shoes
Mugen 1.0 springs
3-speed tranny
Dirt Bonz Tires on RPM Titan Wheels
Pics to come.................

Thanks for the offer bud! I FINALLY bought a domain so I should have my own
site up within a few weeks. In the meantime, I'm gunna snap a few tomorrow
and send em' yer' way.
Good news on the Revo! I'm tempted.................I need a smallblock in
the herd. A roller would be ideal, so I could toss an O.S. .18 in it.

It's just all so easy, and uses so little fuel! If it wasn't for a snapped
exhaust coupler, hell, I'd probably still be out there! It was a nasty
landing as well that killed the coupler ( I didn't have a spare on me ;-) )
