Default I'm just getting started...

Well, I'm pretty much as new as it can get with this stuff. Anyways, I bought an HPI Savage X as my "learner" and was wondering exactly what's the most powerful engine out there? My Savage comes with a .32 engine but I see alot of topics on here where the same relative question was asked and people always seem to go for .28 engines. Am I missing something on this? I did a little research on the various kinds of engines available and it seems to me like .32s would be better. The one that comes with this truck is billed as having some three horsepower where as every .28 engine I've come across only has ratings in the two horsepower range. What's the deal?

Speaking of which, I'm thinking about going for a dual-engine application as I've seen pictures of them done and then supercharging both of them as well as adding nitrous to both of them. Two .32 blocks...wowzers!

Ummm, why? Dont you think thats a little "over kill"? Why would you need/want that much power? I'm not trying to rain on your parade, I'm just curious as to why you think one stock nitro engine isn't enough......

It's just that "extra thing to do" with my new hobby. I'm not thinking practical racing-oriented or anything...I'm just seeing how far it can go and it looks freakin' wild to me.
