Axial32 in SavageXL?

[SwampDawg]

ive been out of the R/C loop for a very long time and need to know a few things here. I am considering finally going BigBlock on my Savage and have no idea what i need to make this work?




Axial32 nitro engine (comes only with the pullstart i believe)

Do i need a completely different clutchbell or can i use the one from my Wasp26?

Can i use the existing header from my Wasp26?

and anything else i am missing here that i may need to consider to make this work?


thanks in advance.

everything you have now will work becuase the wasp .26 is also a bigblock and welcome back.

thanks....so the blocks between the two engines are the same in equivelance then? wow...i figured with all the engines ive seen which look much larger in appearance then my wasp26 that it was a smallblock. hmmm? interesting?

so by going to a Axial32 really isnt gaining anything then?
if not....what motor made by Axial should i go with to make more power?

my rig is built for mass punishment, basically bulletproof now so it can take it.

I am really liking my Axial .28RR-2 It's not fully tuned yet but, I think it's making some pretty good power.

i honestly would always choose a 28 engine over a 32 look into the sh 28 8 port engine there fairly cheap and a real powerhouse or for a few more bucks look into the picco 28 p3 its a awsome choice as well but a bit more expensive.....the axials engines seem to have weak and "leaky" bearings from what i've heard but never ran one myself so i stay away from them.. if you want some experienced help on engines pm purenitro here at the forum,he is a pro engine modder and would never steer you wrong.. and he has some great deals on his modded engines and there insane,check out the vids on his website at extreme rc mods...

I'm not sure if thats the one or not,one has the bump start which is no good for a savage and the other is a pullstart engine which is the one you need...
