Engine Upgrade

[Want to run?]

I have a savage 25 and i'm trying to find an engine upgrade that works with the roto start.

i have an O.S. engine on my savy and i'm using roto start. there's a lot of engine that is compatible with the rotostart.. i always check towerhobbies.com or nitrohouse.com.. pick that suits you..

The Axial .28 is a very strong engine that's proving to be reliable and is quite inexpensive. It comes with a pullstart, but a RotoStart backplate is available for it. Other options are the Picco .28 (also comes with a pullstart but a RotoStart backplate is available), the HPI K4.6 (.28, same situation). There aren't that many that come stock with RotoStart backplates, the Collari .32 is the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

I'm guessing the roto start back plate off a stock s25 wolnt work on a axial .28 right?

 

[Doesgo]

No, but I believe the one for the K4.6 will work, however.

ok, i was just wondering cause I'm on a tight budget and i heard that pullstarts put drag on the engine, not alot, but still. and there a pain

On a tight budget I'd go with the Axial .28 or the STS .28. :cool
