i thinking of getting a engine either a os 30 force 28 or 32 or if i can get hold of 1 a sure fire 32.

the problem is that ive been told so many things.

i rang one of the local hobby shops and he said force put out more power than the os even forces 28. he said os go through fuel like mad and there very simple inside.

on the other hand i rang another hobby shop up and he said that he doubts forces relablilty and he said os where the best

i certain that os have the relabilty

and I'm not bothered about spending the money one 1 if there good

what would kill me is seeing some1 else with a engine i was considering that kicks by engines butt

any help would be apeshiated

thanks

STS-cant beat the price and a good engine with speed and torque!

yh but i would like to spend more for better quality

I'm leaning towards force because os are quit expensive
 
What is more important speed or power?

The .30 and up will be fast and have A LOT of bottom end torque.

A .28 will have good low end torque but will turn more rpm's

If both engines are geared correctly the .28 will have the better top speed.

Instead of a force engine take a look at the Ofna Picco .28. I watched one run a few days ago...WOW
 
thanks guys

like i say i spoke to the local hobby shop today and they seemed to rate them


why do u guys hate them

any answer will be apreshaited

(ps cajunbasher when u said the 30 u mean the os or the force 32)


thanks s 25
 
what about sure fire i think id quite fancy 1 of them

does any1 know there website so i can look for dealer around my area

thanks
 
i have heard nothing but bad things about force engines such as they wear out quickly or they don't have has much power as they claim to i have also heard that they are difficult to tune correctly I cant say any of this for certain because i don't own one but this is what i have heard. I have an OFNA PICCO Outlaw .26 and it is excellant so i would highly reccomend any OFNA or OFNA PICCO engine.
 
thanks

I'm thinking of picco dunno which 1, sure fire and sts. i saw the video and it looked fast (the sts)

maxx savage are the piccos fast
 
k thanks

I'm thinking of either picco surefire if i can get hold of 1 and lrp 28 and picco 28
 
Get a PICCO I have the .26 and will get my 19 pound savy screaming. I can only imagine what the .28 is like also they are very reliable mine sat in storge for most of a year and when i went to start it it sarted on the 3rd pull in oppinion OFNA PICCO is the way to go
 
aside from the commercial ^^^^^ they really are excellant engines

I just put an Axial .28 in my Savage! Great power and very easy to tune...The only reason I didn't mention it was he said he wanted to spend more than it would cost...Still scratching my head on that one LOL.

I have read great things about the Axial and the STS, both or around $125.00....I chose the Axial because they are easier for me to contact if I need to, and I like the green head 🙂
 
thanks

mondragon are their engines as fast as yours the axial 28 or 32
 
ive only heard good things about the axial engines, the sts's on the other hand seems to be a bit hit and miss. sometimes you get a good one and other times there awful. heard that the pullstart version always breaks aswell.

i would get an axial .28 personally.
 
what are lrp like for reliability

I'm stuck for choice between lrp and picco 28s

any suggustion plz

thanks s25
