RE: new engine for my savage
I just replaced my Team Infinity 27 with the SH (who makes LRP and XTM) 28 and it is WAYYY stronger. I think the Wasp/Picco 26 is just a tad (they are almost equal) stronger than the Infinity 27, but I don't know about their 28...

RE: new engine for my savage
I can't find the RPM specs on it but it's rated at 2.1HP and it DOESN'T FIT into ANYTHING THAT RUNS NORMAL .21 (or bigger) SIZE ENGINE... It is a TMaxx replacement engine.
So then, less torque than stock, less HP and doesn't fit.... I think that sums it up.
Here are some links for it:
