why did you only show .21 engines? why not a .28? how about a modded .28 picco or an lrp...

rebelracer246

i am looking for eather a .26 or a 28
what is every ones sugestions

McFly505

Sorry, force of habit.....

Lots of choices in the larger range of engines, as well.

I really liked the OS .28XZ when I had it.

It was a fuel hog in my hands, but it had the POWER.......

rebelracer246

ya i was looking at the lrp .28

rotzilla

i here very good things about the lrps. but i bet one of tibs picco's would really make that hustle.........

TAKZILLA

PICCO P-3 or MACH 427 are my personal favorites what price range?or $$$ is no object?

HerrSavage

LRP is a great all-round, safe choice. The LRP is basically just a bigger Mach 427. Characteristics are very similar - easy to break in and tune - just more torque(and unfortunately, more fuel consumption..) The Losi 454 is the same thing btw - and can prob be had cheap on e-bay. It's the stock engine on the Losi 8T 2.0 RTR.

i was thinking about putting a different carb from another .28 that has changable venturis do you think that will work ?

how good is the jammin .28jpx

TAKZILLA

What carb,on what engine?

rebelracer246

its off of a mach .28 and i would try to put it on the lrp

My Feedback: (1)

Rossi .28 > OS .28XZ > Jammin JPX .28 (Picco .28) > LRP .28 > Losi 454 > Axial .28 RR

is the general concensus. Hope this helps. I run the Jammin JPX .28 (Exact same as Picco .28 but with a turbo head red in color). Amazing engine. Best bang per buck. 2nd choice would be the LRP. I love the OS .28 but it's pretty pricey.

HerrSavage

I'd put the OS at the top of that list...

rebelracer246

i was also looking at that axial .28rr but i havent heard anything about it so i dont know

HerrSavage

Skip the Axial RR. I had it, it was a total PIA for the first gallon and a half, then ran actually quite well for five gallons or so in my Savage, then I sold it.. I think the engine had potential, but it's hit and miss.

The LRP Spec 3 is pretty much a spot-on, no worries hit. More reliable, AND more powerful than the Axial..

Trust me..

rebelracer246

ya i have were i can get one used for 100 bucks i think im goin to get it im thinkin about if im goin to have to get a piston and sleve

TAKZILLA

if you buy a piston & sleeve you will have spent more on a used engine w/old breaeings than the price of a new one,see where I'm going with this [sm=wink_smile.gif]

HerrSavage

Really, makes no sense to buy a used LRP for 100 bucks. Get a new Losi 454 on e-bay or LRP from wherever for 150 shipped....

Unless you really, REALLY know the seller, and you're talking less than a gallon...

rebelracer246

if its a uses one i still would be in the same boat
plus i wouldnt have to pay for shiping and handeling because its at my local hobby shop

TAKZILLA

No,what HerrSavage & I are trying to tell you is.you could buy a NEW engine

rebelracer246

ya i know towerhobbies has the lrp for 169
how many ports dose the lrp .28 have because ive found different one ?

supertib

LRP 28 has 6 ports

rotzilla

tib just hook him up with one of yours lol.....

rebelracer246

on the 8ight-t 2.0 thred the guy that posted befor you tib said it was an 8 port and i found a pic of a sleve that is on horizon that it looks like an 8 port and it is for the lrp .28 spec 3
