any good?
is there any better engines that are the same price?
also. is the sts or the jp pipe better. i am looking for low end to mid...

JB COMP

the STS 0702 pipe will give you good bottom and top.

dan.revo

what engines are all of you guys running with your truggies

Kemo

personally i have a D21T from sts. Depending on the engine, you'll need a specific pipe if you go with STS.

dan.revo

does the 30 produce the most power and torque?

Kemo

its definitely in the top 3 of most powerful blocks in its size.

dan.revo

is it fast?

JB COMP

mine fast and I have not reshimed it, or started to lean it out yet.

dan.revo

anybody else have one?

0403 pipe is better for the STS .28 and .30. the 0703 is a bottom end pipe, while the 0403 is topend. And as any STS owner knows, the .28 and .30 don't need more torque

I just got a STS dragon 21T today off ebay for 125 this motor from what I heard is fully modified by the factory ported polished and the crank is apoxy filled all that sounds great but does this motor perform like they say it does?

I have only heard good things about STS. Did you get the old 21t or the new MKII. I got the MKII and am looking forward to breaking it in and running it.

dan.revo

the .30 is the fastes and most torque right?

MBX5T Maniac

My Feedback: (-1)

Nope. The .21T MKII is the fastest. The D.30 has the most torque.

JB COMP

the STS 30 has about the same rpm's as the 21's but with a lot more power, I seen a video of a CRT with a old STS 30 and STS pipe and I talked to the guy how owned it and he said the STS 30 can easily push a 16t CB.

I can't wait to get mine fully broke in I guess its not going to get broke in by sitting there.

I have the .28sts in my matrix.. I'm happy.

Kemo

Jammin Jay driving someone's CRT with an STS engine bolted in it. The engine is insane, its got power like a light switch... on and off.

what sts is it the .21, .28, or the .30?

supertib

That is my motor he was running... The motor was very fat in the bottom so it was lightswitching onto pipe.. That video was the first time we fired the motor at that event so we never had an opportunity to tune it in... But regardless it still performed well..

I took the same motor and installed it into my MBX5T and shot some videos with a proper tune....

here is another video of my STS 30's first half is a Savage with a STS 30, then the second half of the video is the same STS 30 i had jammin jay drive in my MBX5T...The truggy is running 30K in the center, the diff is not locked up, this motor is just that strong... we are also pushing a 15th clutchbell with Mulcher tires.... The modded STS 30 is Hoss of an engine.

im goint to get the 30

rcmxsports

I got the STS 21T I'm putting it in my X1 CR buggy I heard these suckers scream and the price is awesome heck i can get two STS motors for the price of one high end Italian motor.

rcmxsports

Hey is true the break in is pretty long on these STS motors? I know my rossi motors take at least a gallon to get broken in

JB COMP

leh it takes 1 gallon to break them in, I made the mistake of running mine at a track with only half a gallon and I started to run it kinda hard and it hit 290 and I lost alot of compression, so on my STS 30 and making sure I wait tell 1 gallon tell I start running it hard.

Kemo

the .30 has an incredible amount of pinch. extra patience while breaking it in is required.

dan.revo

its called the D30M right>
