Wade, does sts make a .15 or .18? do they make a .12 with a pullstart?

AllAboutFunHobbies

No they don't make a .15 or .18 there considered OEM basher motors and they only make race engines so they won't be making any .15 or .18 engines at the moment. They do not make any pull start or roto starts for the .12 engines they are race engines and pull starts and roto starts pull down the racing RPMs and steal torque away from the engine there opinion is that if you want a .12 with a pull start or roto start buy an O.S. or some other engine, lol. That's preaty much what they have to say about it in a nut shell, lol.

ehroof

lol, not very smart on their part, but most .12 racing engines or actually any racing engine dont have pull or rotostarts

AllAboutFunHobbies

yes that is true, but on an engine the size of the Monster 28 or Monster 30 it really won't matter too much, but most racers I believe replace the roto or pull start with a bump start back plate. As far as the .15 or .18 people have egging at them to build a .15 or .18 for a while, BUT they say it's not cost effective to build one since there's no race catagolries for them, because of there OEM basher status, I guess. I wish they would I would snatch 6 or seven of them up, I'm still waiting for my VX.18 to blow so I can replace it with a STS .12

ehroof

do you think that .12 has more power than the .18?

AllAboutFunHobbies

No question about it. The off road engine has a ton of torque enough to pick the front end up on a buggy and the on road engine is an RPM high rev engine. I still haven't dialed in my 30, removed the last head gasket and up the nitro to 33%, I'm fixin to do that this weekend it ought to scream after that and it's screaming now.

i was looking on ebay and saw a sts 30 somthing for like 112 +10 shipping which one is that. i lost the link but is that the one your talking about.

ehroof

i may have to try one of those on road engines, do you have any in stock?

AllAboutFunHobbies

Monster 30

AllAboutFunHobbies

Yea, have two or three in stock.

ehroof

i see you have a few, what is better the d3 or d5, i would think the d5 since its 5 port.

AllAboutFunHobbies

Those are both on road engine and the D5R would probablly be a better choose if you want the extra power from the 5 port engine.

ehroof

thanks bro, i will have to give an order i think.

i would take it that the d5r is the fastest?

AllAboutFunHobbies

It's an RPM motor so it produces all it's power in the high range for the long straight aways in on road racing but I'm betting it will light them on an on-road car.

how good of a motor is that dragon 12E? i know its not the best but im not going to be doing any racing and its less expensive.

ehroof

i have the sts .28 and its a great motor, i am sure they are all good.

My Feedback: (2)

oh really? yeah iv been looking at them for a while, and the looked good for the money. hey allaboutfun, do you know the RPM and HP ratings on the dragon?

AllAboutFunHobbies

It's a good engine for the kind of thing you want to do, like going out and playing and still having the race engine power that STS offers, In my opinion I think it's more there for everyone engine, that will work for either off road or on road. The only thing I discovered tonight is that the stock fly wheel won't work, I have some three shoe clutch flywheels that will be needed for these engines. Also I am working on a mod tomorrow to convert from roto carb to slide carb.

My Feedback: (2)

cool. yeah once youve had slide you dont wanna go back to rotary lol

AllAboutFunHobbies

I agree, they seem to idle better, run smoother and just all around seem to operate smoother than a rotory carb.
