today my truck ran better then ever i got the 3 speed tranny so my savage x goes roughfly 35 mph whithout shifting to 3rd gear i know it gos 35 mph cause i followd it with my dads van while he drived it was so fun and before that i axedently drove it off a cliff it fell like 10 feet to the ground and not even a scratch . did anyone know that u can drive full throtle for 3 km and still have a litle bit of fuel left? anyway i was wondering what engine should i get for my savage x ive been looking at the o.s .30 but is it any faster than a .28 or am i just gonna waste my money but i want input from people that know for a fact what engine is better btw im looking for a combenation of high speed and and torque

Heard bad things about the OS 30. It is made with old technology. It is not and ABC engine, it is an ABL. The sleeve is nickle plated even though they call it something special, it is just nickle and that is what they did on old engines. Wheres out fast and does not have much torque. That is what I learned from my research. Only 1 person said he loves his, but he can't tune a picco, one of the easiest engines to tune, so I have a hard time listening to him.

Two engines I have never heard anything bad about. Picco, and the LRP 28.

the os 30 does not use old technoligy but it uses 2 thin layers of chrome over the standard 1 thick one making it last longer. and no torque eh? 103 oz isn't enough torque? Some thing like a STS .28 or Axial .28 both offer plenty of power and are both very realiable for a cheap price. I run the axial .28 in my savage and its wheelieing all the time on 15/49 gearing.

So 3 km is about a mile and a half. And your telling
us you drove your savage full throttle for about a
mile and a half and it didn't blow. HUMMMMMMM.

tat2d2dope

My X wheelies just fine with 16/49 gearing and a good clutch...your Axial 28 should wheelie with 18/49 gearing

And whitey, a bigger engine won't give you more top speed. try running a 16 or 17 tooth clutchbell in your truck, and upgrade your clutch, and you'll crap your pants

-whitey-

i did that

HerrSavage

What, upgrade your clutch, or the latter?..

if you have an upgraded clutch, then your wheelies SHOULD be uncontrollable to the point that you'd NEED a bigger clutchbell.

i need new clutch shoes mine are already finishd anybody know of a pair that will last a long time?

Revo Eater

I use Mugen's. They last 3 1/2 to 4 gallons in my truck with an STS .28. I'm near the end of my second set and there will be a third.

enyone know why my little brass washer at the end of my clutch bell keeps getting worne away

ThunderbirdJunkie

My Feedback: (3)

because you keep using the brass bushing. Get some real shims (like this http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXNT03&P=7)

SAVAGEJIM

I cannot disagree with the Ofna shim kit. Those are the best since they ome with the hex screws and accessories.

I have the HPI 5x10mm washers. I use those to replace the brass washer and I never had anymore problems as far as the clutchbell was concerned.

-whitey-

thanks i didint know u can get an upgrade for that but my maine concern is trying to make my truck as fast as possible tha truck will do almost 40mph on a good day but i think it go faster but thats just me

Revo Eater

What clutch bell are you running?

leslie_p

Hi all,

I have the OFNA shim kit, what do you use to replace the brass spacer on the end of the clutch bell??

Cheers,
