Gear Down and Scoop Tires?

[SavageHooligan]

This is a local "Monster" of a hill. I think my "Savage Hooligan" can climb it with a gear down of a Clutch Bell of 13 teeth and a spur gear of 52. I may need scoop tires to blast thru the very deep sand. My plan is to "Hual Ass" up to the lipp in second gear, and rely on first gear to crawl up the lipp. Then of course turn around and jump off the 10ft or so lipp in the middle.

This will all be video'd and pix will be taken, as well as a price list of necessary replacement parts required to try it again!

Let the Hill climbs begin!!!

Yes that is me on my antique 1983 YZ 490, Totally rebuilt, and a bit sacry, but awesome!

I can't wait to see this vid!

Where is that place exactly?

 

[SavageHooligan]

This is a locally "Famous, or In-famous" hill called the "Bigg-Digg". Albuquerque, NM. It's alway's been huge , but the lipp has grown from a few feet in ther middle to about 10 to 12ft.

ThanX, I will take some runs with the stocker tires and this weekend and see "How far She goes"! It may be a heck of a climb to the rescue!

I'll get prelim pix. Cool!

sorry for not knowing if its 4wd but if its not and your running with a high torque setup you could get high and just flip it backwards so watchout.

It is 4wd, to keep it from flipping you could put some weight on the front. Also I would get a good running start on the "mountain."

You may find that it does not require near as much work to get up that hill, but the lip will be a challenge.

A stock .21 Savage has handled quite a bit of a climb with enough oomph at the end to jump down the back. EP has demonstrated that a couple of times and I have video of it in action. Granted the hill he climbed might not be nearly as huge as yours, but the Savage is a great climber.

If yours is a .25 or better and geared in the manner you describe, you will eat that hill for lunch.

Yess, SkyMaxx & Bmoc, I plan to get a good run (Huge Whoops at the first quater of the hill though) in second gear up to the lipp. Thats when i want a real low first gear to crawl thru that "wicked" channel of hard clay. I have climbed some deeeep sandy hills wihtout the lipp and had no problem. Just walzed up them. I have a .25 that seems to have enough power to do everything I put it thru. She's a beasty babe! I agree that the savages are climbers. This will be funn! The 10ft plus jump off the lipp down will be spectacular. I hope she dont "In-Doe" all the way to the bottom! Just maybe half way) Thats where a longer chassis would help. Oh well!

ThanX for the input! I'm stoked!
