which is better for a savage basher?

I need something that is more powerful that an axial 28(my current engine)

GoFastTurnLeft

more powerful?

zach brenner

ya- mostly I need more torque.

Vigilante212

The LRP .28 spec 3 is an 8 port built more for speed then torque. I dont know about the axial. Im sure both could pull the wheels up no problem with the right gearing though.

SAVAGEJIM

I know what the axial .28 port configuration looks like; it's virtualy identical to that of a Nitrostar (HPI) K4.6. I actually toyed with the idea of buying the axial sleeve and piston and ruibuilding one of my K4.6s with it; but I didnt want to drop $100 for the rebuild when I could get the k4.6 rebuild at $50.

Can you post pics of the lrp sleeve? It would be a little easier (but not accurate) to guestimate what the LRP sleeve is menat for (low RPM, more torque or high RPM and high HP).

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXKYU8&P=ML it says it is 6+1
the axial is 8 port

My Feedback: (1)

i voted axial .32 tons of torque. i had it in my mad force but it was way to much, so i got the .28 and its still to much!

You can get the axial .32 at tower

how much more power does the axial .32 have compared to the .28?
mine can wheelie when it geared way up,
whats a good pipe for the .32? is the ofna jp-3 a good one?

supertib

the LRP is an 8 port mill... actualy its a 6 port plus 2 bypass, and so is the Axial, its also a 6 port plus 2 bypass....You cant compare these mills, the LRP makes way more power then the Axial...it will whip the Axial like a red headed stepchild...

zach brenner

what pipe for the lrp .28

supertib

JP-2...TSAIS M-25

zach brenner

why the jp-2 not the jp-3?

supertib

JP-3 is a 3 chamber pipe designed for noise restriction, it restricts exhaust flow too much for a big 28...there is a signifigant power drop between the JP-2 to the JP-3.....I have both pipes..

zach brenner

o.k I get the jp-2-if my neighbor start getting pissed i'll swich to the jp-3.

so is the lrp .28 really better than the axial .32 even if the axial is a lot bigger?

supertib

big time...the Axial is pretty tame comparatively

zach brenner

I the lrp .28 hard to tune?
I heard it has high compresion so it needs a long break in, is that true. ?

supertib

all motors require a proper break in, there are no short cuts...dont be lazy, and dont rush, and all will be fine.

zach brenner

ya but what does the manual say about breaking it in?

supertib

i will help you when your ready..

zach brenner

thanks

My lrp is a dream to tune it is very dossal but yes with high compresion it was harder to start for break-in but after that it starts up super fast even in cold weather, the pull start on mine was junk it lasted break-in so after that I went to a tiger drive #S-704. The pic and description on tower hobbies is wrong (but I believe thay ship the right engine) the spec 3 is 8+1 port here's a link

By the way my spec 2 is very powerfull it will lift the front wheels up in the air very easly with 16/49 and 7'' tires and with 14/52 it will do full back flips but I try not to because it's hard on the diffs.
