Ok well here is the question. Is anyone running the Force R32 5.2cc engine in their Savage and if so what do they think of it?. Looking to buy a new mill next week and have been looking at these mills. Have a couple of R28 4.6cc ones already and must say, bang for the buck are really good value for money. Also really good on fuel and spare parts readily available. Don't want to go with a R36 5.9 as these are as woeful as the K5.9 on fuel and would like more than 9 mins run time from a tank of fuel. I have 4 of these so know, trust me. Yes I know I could convert to a 250ml tank but can't be done with that crap. The main things in my decisions here are 1st, I don't have one of these mills yet & 2nd the fuel consumption. I know the consumption won't be as good as the 4.6 but it must be better than the 5.9 one would think.
Now the difference in HP is only 0.3 with the 4.6 coming in at 2.7@38000rpm and the 5.2 coming in at 3hp@33000rpm and the cost between the two being little. I know it should run good as all Force mills run well, Remember Bang for the buck here, it's just down to the consumption. No point having a basher that need fuelling every 9 minutes so no 5.9 option.
Now on another note anyone running a Thunder Tiger Pro50 8.0cc mill from the Sledge Hammer truck, now these date back to 2008 and yes I know they were a moddied Heli mill just that been offered one cheap, cheap and wondered if worth giving it ago.
