Savage with HV-Maxx video - huh?

[RobK]

I think it's possible. I have an HV 6.5 in my Revo (less powerful motor, but lighter vehicle), and it performs like what you were seeing in the video if geared appropriately. I currently have mine geared a little lower because I do a lot of slower speed bashing which tends to heat things up for the ESC + motor, however. Just speculating here, but I don't think you could get away with that in all climates. I moved from Phoenix, AZ to Portland, OR last year and I'm amazed at how much taller gearing I can go.
