Took the G-Savage for a test run and it handles MUCH better than it did last year!! :)

Since I havent balanced the new wheel/rim bombo I ran the old terra pins... still feels a little like driving an elephant on stilts at high speeds - but much less than last year! Im hoping the Mashers will perform better due to the lower side wall (and taping).

Turning radius is absolutely great (tho I dont really understand why a CD help in this area? This was especially noticeable when I let got of the gas and turned at reasonable speeds the truck would turn on a dime! Sweet :)

Will have to play with CD oil... couldn't make the damn thing wheelie no matter what I did! Need to find the golden optimum between handling and MT behaviour!

Will update with some pictures once wireing is done nicely :)

And I still have to figure out how to secure the bats... strapping tape around the TVP's doesn't look good at all... but it works ;)
