swapping big red crank in losi 454 or losi 454 piston/sleeve in big red?

[jalikaria24]

The ports of the engine are in the piston/sleeve right? If so, I have a dynamite big red .28 and I also have a parts Losi 454. It seems like the Losi 454 has 8 ports while the big red has 5+1. So I bet that the Losi makes more power then the big red correct? Or is there something else that matters

My Losi is missing a crankshaft so if I put the big red crankshaft in the Losi, I assume i would be making the same amount of power as a stock Losi 454? I believe they are compatible cranks since theh both are sh .28. Or I could also put the piston/sleeve from the losi 454 into the big red but i feel like changing the crank would be easier.

Thanks!

On the SH branded version alot of them allow to you swap cranks, but I have run into the block diameter for the sleeve being different. Also the channels in the block may be different between the 2, so the 8 port sleeve in a 6 port block may not give you as much as it seems like it would.
As far as the Axial engines, I am not sure they are even still being made.

The axial engines are made by king star
The same company that make the k series hpi engines,
They are underpowered for the displacement,
The losi 454 will run rings around the k5.9 which is the 38 size king star engine
