Savage New Engine Help.
Alright i have a savage 25 sittin in my basement and want to take it out again, but i havnt used it cause the engine is basically shot. What are some good engines that would fit right in or have brackets so that my savage would be able to run with my friends revo.

RE: Savage New Engine Help.
I just put a Hot Bodies Powerhouse .26 in my Savage .21 last week ($114 Tower). Dropped right in with no extra work need to mount it. With your Savage .25, sounds like you might want an Axial .28($119 Tower) since you should have the updated tranny and diffs. I went with the older, smaller .26 out of fear of ripping up my stock Sav .21 gears. Anyway, the Hot Bodies motor is nice but I hear the Axial is a killer.

Also STS D28M and D30M are great basher engines for the Savage. If you get these engines, I highly recommend the 0702 pipe to go with them. In all, the total cost will not be more than $180. Check out STS Microengines; Mark often has deals for RCU members.

RE: Savage New Engine Help.
don't forget to upgrade your differential specially the rear as it happen on my savage25 when i install mgt4.6 engine in it. also replace the plastic cover of that bevel gear in that diff to metal cover, it will straighten it up
more.that truck will do whellies when it hit second gearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr when you upgrade to does kind of engine.
