Shopping for a big block

[Rolex]

I'm looking for a .28 (4.6) or larger for my 19 lb. Savage. Any opinion on the Associated LRP 32815 ZR.30 X Competition XTec ZR30 .30 Engine, or what else is out there that gets top recommendation?

I think you're gonna have to find a mount for a 30CC baja engine to move that giant hunk of metal!

I don't know when it's due out, but I understand there's an HPI gas engine on the way.
This is the FLM extended chassis, so there's a lot of room left behind the stock engine.

Bummer. Is that .30 strictly a bump start? Negative if that's the case.

Cool, pull start and less money than the one I found.
Any idea if there's a rotostart backplate available?

EDIT:
It sounds like the one from my HPI 4.6 will bolt up.

WOW! Wrong color on the anodized parts or I would be all over it.

Throw a Conley V8 in there and be done with it!

And you would have found this.

Robin at ERCM has modified SH 28's for $225. It's the same motor as the LRP 28 and its modified!

Day-um. When did we add a search feature? :

You were busy....waxing your Savage. :whhooo:

Say what? I'm sorry, I missed that. I was busy waxing my Savage.

The SH .28 is the same thing as the the LRP .28 but those Dreammachine is talking about are modded from ERCM. If he has swapped out the bearings I might go for it. I have the LRP .30ZR in my heavy ass Savage and it tosses it around like a rag doll and it can't be much lighter than yours. The SH or the .30 or .32 would all be good choices.

 

[DreamMachine]

I would get a modded picco 28 from ERCM, that will toss around your 19lb savage like a rag doll. If mine can light the wheels up with 20/36 gearing then it will have no issues for your truck.

Rolex is just messin' with us... If he ever took his savy out and bashed it the first puddle he hit would send him into cardiac arrest!

 

[Phins Fan]

Was kinda thinkin the same thing^^ If anything buy the crankcase and head only. Its just as fast on the shelf as the real engine anyway!!

 

[Rolex]

Why am I feeling this pressure on my chest?

 

[hamz9561]

You were waxing your Savvy and it fell on you........

 

[Rolex]

Just can't get good help...

 

[hamz9561]

You just said you needed help. You didn't say anything about it being good.

 

[Rolex]

Totally true. I should have known better around here.
