LRP is one of the most trustfull companies in the market. I don't believe that the numbers are fake. Anyway the biggest engine out there is the Tamiya .52 for thir monstertruck. They didn't anounce HP so everything is possible.


Thunder Tiger pro70bx .70 size engine is the largest as far as i know.

Status: offline 		Ive seen that LRP in a OFNA mutilator and the guy had it set up to run on a track. Not for competition but just for fun. He brought it over to the shop and with the 13T clutchbell, the thing would snatch the front wheels off the ground on the pavement. Not a full wheelie, but just enough for the front wheels to clear the ground. Since he had it geared that way, we never actually saw the full speed of what the motor can do but from what Ive read, its supposed to give the italian motors a run for their money for less than half the price. We have another customer with an Adam Drake Platinum 28 in a jammin buggy and his buddy has an RB modified 528 in the same buggy and they both run 20T bells. The AD beats that Rossi every time on the top. I read up on this motor and according to "magazine dynos" it had more torque and RPM than a modified 528. These are just a couple of reasons Ive been hesitant on getting the 528.

Now onto my personal experience. I own a KyoshoGT with a Picco28 (non modified) and the people here that have seen my Kyosho run, know that it can run with any buggy with a 528. Price on the Picco is half of what the 528 is. I know that Rossi makes some awesome motors but I dont think their 528 is the king of the hill of big blocks.

Status: offline 		That sounds like an electric motor. Not too familiar with those. I kept hearing about the Traxxas brushless so I put one in a TC4 I just built but the diffs cant hold up. It just spins the ball diffs.

Status: offline 		I built a couple of electrics (well, I actually had them built by my electric master mind) and they are awesome. We just finished a TC4 with a nice set up and its in the 70+ range but nothing still compares to the runtime and noise that a nitro can make. I had them built just to build up my collection since I really dont see anything new on the market that interests me.

I'm thinking of building a Kyosho Inferno GT with a Werks Team Line Modified .28 set-up to run 50% Nitro, getting the 2 speed set up right, lowered it to race on the track.

If a stock GT can go around 50mph, a full boogie Italian mill should make almost twice the power. If it will run in the mid 60s thru chacanes and sweepers, I'll be real happy.
