so i took my lst out saterday and really gave it a decent run engine break in. man this thing is so powerful its unreal for a .28 engine. that novarossi legend 28-8 port engine is a true beast. i don't think the truck as a whole is faster and more nimble as my savage with new lrp 32 engine but its way stronger than the newe big red engine i had in it. i ran about a whole quart of fuel in it about 4 tanks and its running awsome temps, (about 200-210) still a little on the rich side but still rides wheelies at high speeds! i love it!
 
Hey how's it going? I have a savage x 4.6 with an lrp .28 and an LST xxl with a 454 both r great truck in their own right. I'm torn myself between picco boost . 28 and novarossi legend .28-8 for my LST xxl and I think I'm gonna get another o.s. 30 VG for my savage that was a torque monster

well, yeah the novarossi legend is a very powerfull engine and very smooth like a brushless motor, but i had to send mine back to novarossi because after the engine heats up and you shut it off you played hell trinf to get it to restart plus it felt like it had absoulutly zero compression at all after it heats up.all my friends and folks on forums told me i didnt break it in right, i ran it too lean, blah blah blah, wwell i been doing this stuff for 15 years or better i know how to break in a nitro engine. so novarossi said it was a factory defect they reimbursed my money so i bought the picco boost .28
 
I was thinking of getting a novarossi 28, because a picco boost I ordered, came from factory with no, one way bearing backplate.Was refunded...sounds ironic.

i got my novarossi refunded and got the picco boost 28 and its still sitting in the box lol. when i mounted my novarossi legend into my LST1 i was breaking axle pins, swisting axles, stripping out wheel hexes plus i broke the plastic front and rear diff housings where the pinion bearing rides.so obviously these italian big block engines are too much power for the origional LST1, so I'm gonna upgrade all my axles to the LST2 and the 20mm hexes and aluminum diff housings and all the stuff the LST2 has then I'm gonna mount the picco 28. i don't know the power specs on the novarossi legend 28-8...but i know the horse power specs for the novarossi 28-7T plus engine is 2.8hp. and the picco boost is 3.1hp. so the picco boost just might be stronger than the nova legend not sur yet. i will let you know when i get it running
