Engines?

[Judicator]

Ok before i start.. truck setups as follow:
Mine - Savage X 4.6
GF's - Savage 25
MT2 - To recieve a Big block

What I want to do is upgrade My truck and push the motors down the line.
Now I am looking at the Axial .28(4.6cc) 1S or the Axial .28RR 1S(4.06cc)
I'm assuming the RR is a race spec/port engine what one would ya'll suggest? and don't say the new Savy 5.9 engine =p
Edit: or should I save an plop the Axial .32(5.2cc) in there?

Neither one if you have the 4.6 already. I would upgradee to the LRP or the picco. The axial .28 spec1 is very close to being identical. The axial .32 is an all bottom end mill. The axial RR is not worth the trouble. That mill is such a hit and miss. The LRP and the picco are 2 of the hottest mills right now!

ntenc is right the axial 28 spec 1 is pretty much the same as the 4.6 power wise maybe a bit better but the rr is the one people are having problems with.... i would have to say the lrp is likely your best bet or you could go the way i went and buy the xtm 457 pro truck engine, its priced at $160 which is about the same as the lrp and has a claimed horsepower of 3.8.. all i can say about the xtm is I'm almost to the point of putting some weight on the front end of my truck so it doesnt just "hop" over on its lid!! lol the xtm is a insane engine and so far is holding a tune really well!!

P.S.. if you compare the lrp and the xtm side by side they look almost identical and have they same specs as well!!

Nitroaddict is right, the xtm and lrp are identical. I just got my lrp and I'm on the 4th tank of break in and the wheels are coming off the ground already at 1/4 throttle without being tuned yet. This engine has incredible power and it started the 1st time on the 3rd pull. I would definitely recommend the lrp you wont be dissappointed.

Forgive my ignorance guys, but what brand are LRP and XTM? You guys speak with way too many Acronyms!

 

[clemet]

XTM is the brand.

LRP is a brand as well. The LRP's are made by Team Associated.
