Axial .32 Spec 1
Dynamite Mach 427
LRP Z.28R Spec 3
O.S. .30
Ofna Force .32
RB Concept TM728
STS .28
Team Orion Wasp .28

There's a lot of good choices there, but I vote for the LRP Z.28R Spec 3. I have it in my MGT, it's awesome.

HerrSavage

Spec 3..

IL2mSturmovik

LRP Z.28R Spec 3
Also look at the Dynamite 28 Platinum, I understand its very comparable to teh LRP Spec3

paechy

is the dynamite mach 427 worth looking at over the LRP Z.28R Spec 3

duckedup

Another vote for the Spec 3 here... STS D28M has to be a close 2nd though.

HerrSavage

So far I'm loving the Mach 427 in my LST2.. But the Spec 3 is simply supposed to be THE upgrade engine for it..

The bloke at the hobby shop said dont bother with the LRP Z.28R Spec 3 go for a RB 928 or a navorossi he reckons they are so much better and you will have better torque and top speeds. but from what i have heard the LRP Z.28R Spec 3 is the way to go

How much better is the lst stock motor compared to the LRP Z.28R Spec 3

HerrSavage

I bashed with a guy recently with a Nova 8-port. Had a bad crash, cracked the casing. Replacing just the engine casing cost more than a whole new Axial - so he sold off the internals and just got an Axial.

Those Italian engines I'm sure are awesome, but they just don't make sense for bashing IMO unless you've got really deep pockets..


And in any case, NEVER go by what the bloke at the LHS says. He just wants to sell you something - no surprise that the RB costs twice as much as the LRP...

Get the LRP dude - it's what I would get if I needed a new engine based on what lots and lots of people have said... A Picco 28 might be an ever so slight step up, but still under 200 bucks...

ttoks

no surprise that the RB and nova were the LHS guys top choices, they're two of the most expensive engine makers there are (given also two of the best if your racing and need that little extra)

NitroDemon18

Get the LRP .28 spec 3 or the STS .28.

IL2mSturmovik

Seconded

paechy

so what would be better out of LRP .28 spec 3, STS .28 or the picco .28

duckedup

You're definitely safe with the 1st two... I haven't had experience with the Picco, but I'm pretty sure I've read that the newer Picco .28's aren't as good as the older versions, tricky to tune or something? I dunno..

IL2mSturmovik

Dont rule out the Dynamite 28 platinum, its a very fast engine

NitroVenom

I vote for the spec 3 also. I have heard nothing but good things about this engine like easy to tune and fast. I have never heard of the dynamite engine but costs $240 for the platinum version. The spec 3 is only around $170.

does anyone know what the STS D30M is like
