Other item to consider is that is some pretty serious rollout. Be interesting to see what your temps of your esc/battery/motor are.
Btw, the RC8 diffs are 43/13s just like the standard Savage so you wouldn't really gain anything from switching to those. Looks as if the Vorza (and D8), after looking at the manual, and RC8T are 43/10 diffs would give you more gear reduction. Although most truggy diffs, including the Vorza/D8, their bevel gear is attached to a cvd joint instead of just a dogbone. Someone suggested to me in another thread about the amongst other truggies... someone recommended the HotBodies/HPI Lightning Stadium Pro to me as they attach to dogbones, not CVDs.

I wanted to stay away from smaller pinions so i have just opted for a larger one but with a slower motor.
I did consider truggy diffs but thought i would try this first. They would make it possible to use a faster motor and a decent sized pinion but i'd like to try and avoid the extra cost. With Vorza\RC8 heavy duty spiral diffs (43/10) i could use a 46 spur, 19 pinion and 1550kV for 49.99 mph (80.29 km/h)
