Just had to brag folks ! I installed a 3 speed tranny on my savage last week but due to bad weather and other considerations I couldn't try her out but finally today I got her going and holy christ she's fast !
Expect video very soon

Yes,
I did read somewhere that it did make them seriously fast :eek:

tallus · 29-03-2006 4:46pm

I'd say 40mph + might fit that speedometer I bought to it...

T-Maxx · 29-03-2006 5:51pm

Now offense, but what's the point of going so fast in a MT?

Handling at 40+ sucks. Speed is nothing without control.

tallus · 29-03-2006 6:44pm

that's the lure for me....... handling sucks at most speeds unless you're coasting it which is no fun at all so in my opinion it's a bonus

Took this pic today with the new Carson mad run wheels

Nice job:D

vectra · 30-03-2006 4:26pm

Nice wheels..
I think it is time for a good all over spraying of WD40 and a scrub of a paint brush to clean it up :rolleyes:

tallus · 30-03-2006 5:59pm

Dirty B*st*rd

lol ! but it's the truck that's dirty :P
*edit*
I dont know if anyone else has had this problem with the savage brakes, but I have to adjust mine every time I take her out for a bash, they seem to become weaker and weaker as I use them, and usually end up turning the adjuster clockwise but I'm running out of adjustment room now, If anyone can understand my poor phrasing

I was just wondering if anyone else had encountered this problem ?

I actually read on a forum last night about the revo brakes.
Maybe it might be the root of your problem
One second and I will try to locate it for you.

cheers dude

that's way handy, I have very similar brakes as I upgraded mine to the twin discs.

vectra · 30-03-2006 8:24pm

Hope it helps .;)

tallus · 30-03-2006 8:31pm

it deffo helped mate thanks

maybe I need to get one of those centre skidplates to keep crap from the exhaust getting on to teh discs too, I mean they get pretty much coated sometimes.

That may be the case dude, took the engine out earlier to make it easier to clean her up will check them later
