This all wraps around the coming Savage XL (WOOHOO!!!)
When it comes out I plan on buying it simply for upgrading the X i have. but i was wondering since I'll be taking out the 4.6 from the X what would it do for the GT if i put it in there?
And also, what kind of improved performance can I expect from putting the 5.9 in the X?
And last question, if all of the above is stupid and retarded
what kind of engine should I be looking at for my Savage X and my GT? Im still getting the XL
Ok buddy....
If i were you i would LEAVE that new motor in the XL savage. i looked that truck up and it looks as though HPI has done some serious upgrades to the drive train of the Savage X to handle the torque and to bullet proof the model for serious speed and bashing.
Enjoy the savage X in its stock form... If you REALLy must go with a better motor look at the Mach line of engines. They are reasonably priced and are great for someone new to the hobby all the way to the experinced racer.
As for the Kyosho.... I would also look at the look at a mach engine for it.
Dont mess wit my sig Line tune!
