.28 Engines

[McGoo 69]

Has anyone used a STS .28 engine ?

Does anyone have one in there monster truck?

Just wondering what they are like before i think of getting one or would i be better of with a HPI .25 engine?

I have an STS .28 engine. It is incredible, by far the best engine I have ever owned.

The SH .28 performs well but breaks easily.

[McGoo 69]

So wich one should i go for? The STS .28?

Is STS a good company?

Any back ground info on them?

What is the rrp of tht engine?

Just found that and it looks like they have been around for a while and are one of the leaders in the industry.

Im a correct?

[revorussell]

yeah they have been about for ages now.the sts 28 is a bargain i 've got one in one of my savages and boy do they fly my one beats my mates k.4.6. once i've worked out how to get some videos on line i will post some of it going

The STS is a cracking engine, i've said it many times before, you won't find a better MT engine for under £150 i reckon.

[madmanluke]

alll as above, but if ou fancy some thing a little closer to home there is the k4.6.

the sh has a habit of popping its conrod out the crank case .....

[jimmycricket]

dont get the sh i did a little research a couple of weeks ago and found hundreds with big holes in the crank case some people say the has loads of con rod problems but i am not convinced jc

The Hpi One Is Made of Cheap Alu.

Sts is Soo much Better!

And faster!

True, But when i Got a Sav 4.6 (When it Was realesed In America) I Got It Used it For a Couple of Tanks, came too look at the piston and it had Dimples on the top And It was Cracked At the Bottom. And many People on Savage central had this Prob!

[arris]

I got a sts buy a sts

Only like £70 or less from HK thru UKRC,

Plus sells all parts pullys like £10

Piston + Liner like £20

Remind me still gotta finsish running myne in

RIK

[McGoo 69]

How hard is the sts to tune?

For £70 everyone agree it is worth going for insted of spendind £50 on a HPI .25 engine?

Get out there and try it then!

For me

[Merlin]

The sts is equally as easy to tune as the HPI K4.6, the only thing to watch out for is the small pull cord, don't over pull it. Combine this with loosening the plug slighty everytime you start her up, and you should have no troubles It holds the tune very well too

[revorussell]

thats a top tip from merlin about the pullstarter i snapped 4 of them before i found out (doh)

[Lstracer]

Easier Than the 4.6 to Tune Mate!

Should be Ace!

Really good Engine!

[McGoo 69]

So what will i need to replace if i bought this engine.

[Rubber12]

some one in the other thread said almost every thin

[McGoo 69]

Yes but dazzi and lst disagree so other opinions would be good

[Merlin]

Whats savage have you got right now?

[McGoo 69]

I got a .21 of ebay shud be here this week.
