RE: The best .26 enigne for Savage
Shouldn't be too hard... the Mach and the XTM are both made by SH, and both share the same performance features (knife-edged rod, turbo porting[cuts] in the end of the crank, etc.) so the >displacement should be a no-brainer. If you have to have a .26 get the Mach. The Picco 26 makes a little more power down low, but the Mach isn't far behind and has a broader powerband. I would choose the 24.7Pro over the Picco26 also to be honest...

Depending on what your tuning experience level is, let me give you one good tip, if you are a little new to tuning, absolutely STAY AWAY from the Picco .26, a powerhouse engine, but a nightmare tuning the low speed circut. My #1 suggestion for the best overall power AND ease of tuning is the XTM 24.7 Pro. I have 6 engines, and the XTM ranks #1.

RE: The best .26 enigne for Savage
I have both the Mach and the SH - The mach has more RPM and the SH has a bit more torque. For general bashing I would pick the SH as torque is most desireable and makes wheelies really easy.
The Mach runs great and is easy to tune, everyone with an LST loves 'em. The RPMs run higher than with the SH, so racing would probably be a bit better suited to the Mach.
