bobpiper Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 hi everyone took my savage out this morning with my son got himn going with his little buggie then proceded to fire up my savage let the engine warm foir a bit then a funny little ping noise and stop tried startin again but the engine was stuck solid so i waited for me boy to finish with his and went home with a sulk on lol anyway to cut a long story short the little pin on the crank that the conrod sits on has broken off thought that was the problem simple fix ideal i then tried to remove the piston to get the crank out and it was jammed in there and no amount of tapping or prodding will get it out even tried heating the head up and still wont come out anyway which engine do you recomend for it as thought this is the perfect oppertunity to upgrade its a savage 25 so engine suggestions to suit this truck please chears guys mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koiboy Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 whats your budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I got a Savage running a Force .32 and I think it's spot on for the truck. Also consider an STS.30 Both are decent budget engines. You really want a .28 or bigger for a Savage not so much for the power but for the torque. If budget is no problem look at an LRP Z30 .... but also budget for a set of BP diffs for when yours explode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreXeL Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) I recently fitted an LRP Z28R to my Savage 3.5, absolutely over the moon with the performance. I changed the clutch bell and spur to 17/47, and I'm also running a 3-speed gearbox. It's awesome. Amazing acceleration and top speed, and I can pop wheelies on demand Downside is I blew my diffs in no time, I have upgraded to BulletProof diffs, just waiting on some SHD dogbones then she's back up and running Edited May 2, 2011 by DreXeL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNX_Pro Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 How about an OS Max .30 VG very good engine either that or a Force .32 which is what's in a TNX 5.2 and it's a great engine really stable running and plenty of power as has the OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds savage Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Hi, I have just run in ab sts .30. Its gots bags of torque and speed. However, it did what eveyone said it would . . . . . . trashed the diffs so I am now waiting on BP diffs (this week hopefully). Here is a video of me when I was fine tunning it . . . . note the way it bounces off its roof when I put full throtle on . . . . and then proceeds to ruin the diffs towards the back end when its just spinning front wheels!!!
