theres alot more awesome engines then a STS or Axial.. The STS 30 is not my favorite, it is the best performer, but not necesarly my favorite.... I work on alot of different engines, Axial, SH, STS etc. when i get a motyor my goal is to make it as fast as possible, i treat every brand the...
isn't this forum for sharing knowledge and ideas ? If you don't like a brand of engine please speak up ! I may have things to say about an engine that people may not agree with, but I am not bashing any engines, i am telling the truth of hundreds of hours of R+D on these engines. Debating about...
another mill to look at is the SH28P6/XTM 457 , its amazingly powerful and fast.... Honestly it has more tourque then the Axial 32 and alot more top end... and is pretty much just as easy to tune... I have videos of a 457 Savage racing a Axial 32 Savage, since we ran together all summer...
heres my rating on some motors
Axial 32/Surefire 32
Bottom end 9/10
midrange 7/10
top end 5/10
tuning 8/10
build quality 6.5/10 ( leaky carbs and bearings)
durability 8/10
SH 28 P6/LRP Spec 2/XTM 457
Bottom end 9/10
midrange 8/10
top end 7/10
tuning 7.5/10...
for low end tourque i think the Axial 32 or OS 30 is a good choice.. though there are alot of complaints about the OS 30, from lack of power to short life span..so IMHO i would avoid the OS 30, i would get a Picco 28 way before an OS 30.
For an all around powerhouse engine you can't beat a...
sounds like you need to pull the tranny out !!! either that or the stock cluch is not able to hold the power and is just slipping.... with 17/49 and a well tuned STS 30 the stock clutch is going to be taxxed beyond its capabilities IMHO...
did you notice more snap with the shims removed ?
the OS 30 is a very tame engine for the $$$$.... some people have great luck with it, others do not. Lots of the 30's wear out very fast, and IMHO there are better mills for the $$$$
you really need to remove some shims man !!!! its in the engines design !!!!
I likely have run and modded more STS 30's then anyone on this site... please trust me...
remove your head button and count the shims !!! with 20% run just 1 silver shim...
jester you haven't removed any shims from your 30 right ? thats where the extra tourque is hiding, STS 30 comes with either 2 or 3 extrra shims to make break in easier, from factory it is shimmed to run 60% Nitro LOL.... If your running all the extra shims and 20% fuel your seeing about 60% of...
the best pipe i have found on the Axial mills is the older XTM one peice tuned pipe for the Savage..... it brought the top end out on the Axials quite a bit.
