i do know the lrp is a great motor.
the picco's is on it way(ebay) as well the axial .28 rr from the lhs.
so for now my choice is the lrp from actual test/running.

Not on the list but I like RB, you should check out the RB TM 728, or the 928 if you are real brave.

well u also have to put into play, the price of fixing a motor if it goes, 80 for the picco 160 for the rb and thats just piston and sleeve, the head, the case bearings carbs etc.... cost more then the whole engine did, so oh yea i want an rb, ok let see u down the road when u need new parts.....[X(] 180 dollars i could get a new engine for that.... that's where most people go is get a new motor cause they never want to pay to fix theirs up.


I love my picco and getting it modded as well, the vid with it in there revo it may be a revo but ohhhhh its sick...

I;m getting mine done by these guys.

stick with the picco the force 32 is junk, i have seen them and there not for a savage or any truck, power yes, tuning, poor, quality poor, power, little i have seen the the axial and racer edge walk around the force, all it is is a .28 names a .32, with just a bigger head and piston but nothing done to give it the power, trust me you will be happy with the picco.

aren't we all. heck when i went in my lhs that's about an hour and 45 min ride from me i went in to time to buy the savage each time i left with something that's not a savage, u might no the store its superior hobbies. they just do that so u spend ur money in there store not online, tell him if he can order the picco for u and sell it as 174 then buy it from him if not tower already has it for 174.99.

really good deal for a really high end motor its not the best but for the savage like we have said its an insane motor that keeps going and going like the energizer bunny. it never wheres out and then it does upgrade it and off it goes, like the bunny again it dies then lipo came along and its better then ever lol

sounds good,i went to the lhs tonight after work,cant get me the picco for a decent price,so the mrs said i have been good this year so ole saint nick just may reward me with the one thing i want the most (picco..28p3),still walked out with the force.32, the hpi ribbed pipe,3 plugs,and a new vented c.b for 200.00,couldnt pass it up,figure i could use the .32 for climbing and puling whenever i get a chance to get out and try it
