updated K5.9 video

[boody1981]

alright got a bit better video with my savage X and new 5.9 engine

And these 5.9's fit the 25's right? Great video and some nice air time. The next one is gonna have some big air jumps right?

It looks and sounds better than the last vid, nice truck!

 

[boody1981]

Thanks, yeah I'll bring it to the skate park tomorrow or the next day if I'm not wakeboarding and take some monster jumps with it.

and yes they fit right into the 25's. Mine was a direct drop in.

Hate to spoil your video but could do that with a k4.6, and power wheelly down hill

 

[Scrogg]

Looks quick, I do not think a 4.6 will run with it.

 

[2Savages]

The only way to find out I guess is to run side by side and see but have seen that 3 spd. tranny with the 4.6 moves and also seen that 5.9 move to. As mention side by side race with the right gearing in each truck

 

[boody1981]

Yeah I would dangle with any 4.6, but unfortunatley they would be disapointed with thier truck when we got done!
I would really like to know what the gear ratio is with the 3rd gear in a 3 speed tranny and 2nd gear in a 2 speed tranny. There might not be much of a difference there?? But if there is, you could be looking at some pretty wicked top speed.

FYI. I radar ran my K5.9 yesterday on the highway with 47/20 gearing and it ran 50.0 mph. That was all I could get out of it. So if anyone has radar ran a higher speed than that I would like to know how!!! haha.
Oh, that was with a 2 speed tranny.

 

[BOUTCH]

The 3rd gear ratio using the 26/36 gears would be ~1.339

VERY INTERESTING!!!! Might just try that baby out, thanks very much for the link!!
