Well the savage is finally done and I had the maiden voyage tonight in the dark. You guys were spot on with the power and speed calculations. It's a torque monster and doesn't have a blistering top end with the current gear ratio. Don't get me wrong... it's fast but could certainly be faster.
The throttle response is a little hairy along with the brakes. I'll probably use the Castle Link to due some adjustments. I tapped the brakes and the truck flipped about 3 feet in the air.
After about 5 minutes I blew a bead lock so it looks like I need to try some other wheels in the dirt.
