I was still getting hit by roost when it was 30 feet away and accellerating down the front straight.

Very interesting info - For the HPI to be that light (or even close to that light), I'd guess the speculation that it's Savage-based is correct.
What Castle motor, though? It seems that their recently discontinued 1520 or 1717 would be the best fit for a truck of that size. The 2028 seems too big. Does Castle have a new motor up it's sleeve???
