new engine for my savage
 

going to get a new engine for my savage within the next couple of weeks so i have a bit more poke and makes pulling those wheelies a little easier.

is there anyone who can give me some info on which engine to go for and what i should uprate whilst im doing this as most of mine is stock apart from a few bits;)

here are my choices

sirio .28 SG Crank Race Engine

sirio .21 SG Crank Race Engine

sirio .27 sg crank race engine

hyper .21 8 port

i have also chucked on some larger wheels called proline, 40 series big joe tyres. looks awesome with my new dodge charger shell, im in the process of spraying a plymouth hemi cuda 1970 body:)

your help is appreciated

I just replaced my Team Infinity 27 with the SH (who makes LRP and XTM) 28 and it is WAYYY stronger. I think the Wasp/Picco 26 is just a tad (they are almost equal) stronger than the Infinity 27, but I don't know about their 28...

RE: new engine for my savage
 

whats this engine like please in comparison to the .25 stock???

Picco P2 Medium Block Engine .21

RE: new engine for my savage
 

I can't find the RPM specs on it but it's rated at 2.1HP and it DOESN'T FIT into ANYTHING THAT RUNS NORMAL .21 (or bigger) SIZE ENGINE... It is a TMaxx replacement engine.

So then, less torque than stock, less HP and doesn't fit.... I think that sums it up.


Here are some links for it:

if i were you, i'd go with a xtm 24.7 pro...you here nothing but great things about those engines.

RE: new engine for my savage
 

teh hyper 8 port race is a good engine, but the best is teh new os 21 v max. a real 2.7 hp, tjhe picco smallblock was a real 2.3 hp in rcdriver and the os was too.

has anyone heard of a new engine by hpi? i heard it at savage central, but i am not suar

RE: new engine for my savage
 

I have the wasp .26 in my savage and the the truck just screams but if your not paying attn wheelies over backwards in a heartbeat,and ive had no problems with tuning issues like alot of people say they do

RE: new engine for my savage
 

decided to go for the sirio .27, hope this is a good move....

:D
