well, I got my Savage back together and put a 49t spur on the tranny. I planned on running my picco 26 with a mugen 3 shoe clutch and a 17t bell. Most of that plan came together. Eventually I had to settle on running an Ofna 15t bell since the mugen flywheel was too big to fit the HPI 17t bell without the FW rubbing the TVP.
Off to the track I went today and let me tell you, the 15/49 combo is nuts. I was running an RRP 52 steel spur with a 16t bell before and it would wheelie, but only when it was tweaked for performance. The 15/49 gear ratio is 3.27:1 while the 16/52 ratio is 3.25:1, or nearly the same ratio. it still had about the same top speed, but I was having a hard time keeping the front end down. I was running Maxx Mulcher tires on watered track dirt and it would wheelie violently both forward and in reverse. One dude came over to flip my truck back over and asked "WTF mill is that?" I said an Ofna Picco 26, he just had a stunned look on his face.
With that kind of torque, I really have to get my 4 shoe on with the 17t HPI bell. I talked to my buddy about it and he indicated that the engine is utilizing a different RPM for the same truck speed, and thus is more "optimized". To tell the truth, I was getting a little irritated at my Savage for it's newfound penchant for wheelies. Alot of the guys thought it was a trip though.
