Default Original Savage 25 looking for new engine.

Hey guys,

I broke out my Savage 25, but I'll need a new engine. I've been out of the game for awhile and don't really know what's up these days as far as sick engines

Any engine recommendations that will fit my truck? Thanks!

Thanks Shine!
I was thinking about the Nitro Star .28 F4.6 for $100 less ($158) I wonder if the novarossi is worth the extra hundred dollars or so...

you could get a Force .28 its the same as a F4.6 (the F is for force ) it just has a different head color I was looking earlier and saw em new on ebay for $105 + $10 shipping

I would play it safe and get an LRP. Easy to break in and tune.

i guess it depends on you........... the quality difference between a Novarossi and a F 4.6 is massive...a F 4.6 is a cheaply made RTR engine with moderate performance...............A Novarossi is quality built with quality materials.... The Nova will tune easier and last much longer, not onluy that but the performance difference will be massive as well...the Novarossi is much faster and much more powerful............ So is it worth the extra money ? well depends who you ask..for me the F 4.6 is a waste of money as for only $100 more you could have a Nova.......what would you rather do ? spend $100 on junk, or $200 on something decent.......

Many many years ago I replaces my NS25 with a Sportwerks 26. I was very happy with it, but I am sure that is ancient technology now. I just recently started reading about RC again.
