HPI Savage 25 engine upgrade

[j321]

Hi,

What would be best overall Engine and Pipe upgrade for a HPI Savage 25?

Possibly $200-250 or under for engine alone.

Used on-road and bashing.

I have considered LRP

-Nitro Engine ZR.32X Spec.4 Competition or Nitro Engine ZR.32 Spec.4 Pullstart?
-Nitro Engine ZR.30 Spec.4
I was also looking at OS and Novarossi, O.S. .28XZ, Nova 28-7T
.... they are more expensive however and I’m not sure if they fit in a Savage.

Could you recommend best overall tuned pipe under $100 or so (HPI, LRP, NOVA….)

(Also, has anyone used a TNS Modified engine even though they are more expensive?)

Thanks

You don't need the higher end racing engines for bashing ,any 25 to 36 engine will fit!
Preferably a decent brand 28 is good!...

Hi lrp are great engines , I've had a few myself. I'm currently running a losi 454 in my LST xxl . if you go on to novarossi direct USA you can buy a nova legend 28-8 for $179.00 USD this is an awesome powerful engine for almost same price as the lrp they also have the novarossi 28-7 for $190.00 not r a direct fit for a savage

Please create your own thread seeking help but odds are you have a one way bearing issue.

HI mate,
I have just got myself a couple of savages from Gumtree and Facebook and I'm having a blast with them! I got a savage 21 but have picked up a savage X roller. The 21 only has a .21 in it with a 2 speed but going to put the 3 speed out of the X in and I have been looking at the Force .32 squeeze in from what I have gathered online these engines are pretty tough for the price here in OZ the .32 can be picked up for $135 AUD!! Cheap as chips. I have a .18 Force motor I put in my 1/10 caster racing SO1N (not sure why they splent it that way) when I blew up the .15 that was stock and the .18 is a little beast in the 1/10. But value for money I'll be putting a .32 in my savage very soon.

Mate I have only owned a Savage for about 3 months and haven't had a problem getting and parts yet... Local hobby store still stocks all upper and lower arms not to mention the spare on Facebook lol
