Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and new to the Nitro RC world. I'm sure this has been asked before but I am in need of a good reliable motor to replace the HPI .25 in my savage. My local hobby shop only directed me to HPI brand motors that are a bit much than I want to spend. I do not want anything crazy something that will fit with little to no other modifications, and be reliable for weekend bashing. Than

Not wise to put a cheap engine in a heavy truck. Stick with the stock 4.6 from HPI or go for the LRP .32.

I'm an idiot. I said 5.6

rbest do some reseach to see what each mill will cost vs longevity and cost.
Rolex is bang on though with his recommendations and especially about cheap mills.
Replacing an engine should be a one time option and last at least 5 or more gallons when broken in properly and properly used.

Excellent price, new. Go for it. I also just noticed that I had a typo in my original post. I recommended a 5.6 instead of the 4.6.
I'll correct it now and give myself a time out.

Not certain but I'm kinda' doubtful about the exhaust swap.
What you've gotten into is an incredible hobby. There's no end to what you can create if you really get involved. It's an addiction for many.
Other than that, I can't answer any more of your questions tonight. I'm still on that time out for the erroneous information.
