momin Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I wouldnt bother buying a new engine. You s25 i very realible and isnt to sow compard to others 9maybe 4mph slower). if i was you i would gte a Tuned pipe, or othr hop ups or maybe buy strenthend parts for it. is you are interested in a new egine buy The SH 28. many people have it and it looks like a realiable and powerfull engine. the sh off ebay can cost as little as £80. so you could gte this and buy other hop ups.

rc007 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I would up grade your truck first so its "ready" for your new powerful mill, and in the mean time polish and port your s-25 for some extra power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgreat001 Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 Just out of intrest whick engine is better the picco.27 or the or the hpi k4.6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momin Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Well, from what i know and by owning a k4.6. it is very good. Just a couple of problems but you just get HPI to send you new parts. the only thing bad about it is the pull starter 9youl be sitting there for hours trying to start it). I Would easily go for this than the picco. think they have roughly the same amount of power. 4.6cc 2.9hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J C Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Ive heard the wasp .28 is a bad engine ive heard the SH is the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samari Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 JC where have you heard the wasp is a bad engine??? Just check out the LST/Savage/BFT boards and you'll see that they are ALL gettings the Wasp .28. When I got it I was just amazed at how much more power it had over my old engine aswell as my friends Picco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I like the picco, after seeing screamers - sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 The SH is probably the most poerfull fron the engines mentioned, but there has been a few issues rising lately relating to the Conrod, as mentioned before in previous posts its really down to you to decide as everybody has their own opinions on engines. Just do some homework before you make your decision Take a look at the STS .28, its also very cheap and stock has more umph outta the box than the SH, also the build quility is somewhat impressive, kind of like that you would expect of a Rossi or RB, which are in the region of £300+. Also other plus points are the small backplate and the turbo style crank (like the 8port hyper) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper-harry Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 The best engine out has to be a sirio 27 pro 3.1HP!!! mental that will make a savage shift in to a wheelie or even into a bin!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgreat001 Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share Posted April 17, 2005 So these are all the engines i should consider: Picco .27 Wasp.28 Sts.28 sh.28 K4.6 and when you say prepare your car before getting a new engine whats parts do you mean,ive already got a ribbed pipe is there any thing else.

momin Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Out of all them go for the SH or K4.6. I would go for the SH btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageChris Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I was going to get the SH .28 but from what ive heard on toher forums the STS .28 has more power and better build quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgreat001 Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share Posted April 17, 2005 So whys the sts and sh only 80-90 pounds and the wasp 180 punds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 The wasp is expensive because you pay for Orions name, the engine is not even built by them, its made by Toki engines, a cheap company from japan, it just has their name slapped on it. The STS IS quicker than a SH straight out of the box, it seems to be the new kid on the block but the build quality is flawless. It will definately out perform a Picco, My cousin had a picco and my SH and the K4.6 used to smoke it no problems. The thing i found with the picco it was all or nothing, doesn't seem to have a smooth powerband, 1/4 throttle seemed like full throttle. I personally really don't think you can go wrong with the STS, and as the SH has had some problems with the conrod lately, but thats probably a minority, But the choice is yours... When they say get your truck ready for it, i would be thinking more down the lines of Spider mods (If not already done) Heavy duty drive shafts, Heavy duty Cups etc. Strengthen your drive train for all that extra torque.
