The ambient temperature also plays a significant role I think. When I run my truck, outside temperature typcially ranged from 30 deg C to 35 deg C. In addition, humidity is pretty high too.

I have to gear down & make a new mount for a milder motor I think.

What kind of speeds are you getting now? I dont have a savage so Im not farmiliar with all of the gear ratios to know if that is high or not.

I just noticed on your profile, you are in Malaysia. Where about? I was just over not to long ago for work. I was in Penang for a week and then Kuala Lumpur for only one day. I liked it. A little warm, but beaultiful up in the Penang area. All I remember from Kuala Lumpur was that it was VERY busy. And I'm used to busy... I live in the down town in Chicago.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...
