RE: savage top speed?
Well I have put up my numbers to compare to yours and my average rpm unload is 3,500 higher than yours regardless of the fact your motor may be able to reach 40k+. However you still want to continue arguing your point of a truggy motor in a savage. But hey when someone wants a modded motor who cares if it makes power lets just let it scream it's face off. Plain and simple you need torque to push the gearing and HP to carry you across the line. Technically your telling me I don't know how to gear my truck to 25k... Hmm ok I haven't even begun to play with traxxas gearing yet. My savage also reaches 50mph in the same distance as your 45k truggys. Takes ages huh to reach speed. Kinda funny when its still faster than my 6s flux geared for 75+ mph I think your right Neal both points have been argued and gotten no where. But if anyone wants pointers on how to go fast in a savage, just ask

RE: savage top speed?
Neal, one were talkin about a picco 28, and two you still have not explained why on earth you would mod a picco to rev way higher then it's combined average peak rpm of 25k. Plain and simple my motor does continue to make power above your average dyno number of 25k. The reason I can throw more and more gearing at it and still go faster and faster while maintaining MY average rpm of 28,500 is because i have more torque than a normally modded picco. Based off my calculations, if I was to hit 60 mph it would have been at an rpm of 27,500 with 20/43t gearing. I am not the one who modded my picco, Robin did and he is the only one on earth that knows what he did. All I have been doing is testing out theories that he and I come up with for reaching higher and higher speeds. We have uncovered quite a few amazing things I'm my quest for the fastest savage on earth. Your right not many are open to talk about a top speed savage. But there is actually quite a few that are actively trying right now and very interested in the subject. Where I am no one has really been, thus it's like paving the way to allow others to gain such speed. My goal in starting a thread that is now 20pgs long is to help others achieve insane speeds with there savage. The fastest flux right now uses a 3spd out of an XL, it's claimed top end is 79 mph. The average flux owner gets there flux to speed just above 50 mph without overheating issues and gearig the crap out of it and using belted street tires. Then it would be in the area I'm at. I used to run my mouth all the time saying my ERCM picco is faster than a flux on 6s. Well guess what... It is. I would absolutely love to see you attempt a run at 60 with a savage. If not have one of your CRE guys do it. The info is out there on how to do it.

RE: savage top speed?
I thought conversation toned down quite a bit Neal you say there is no way to make more torque than you already do, well let's just say there is. Look at what my torque motor has achieved. 59 or 60 mph in a savage with a motor designed to move 1/5 scale Baja wheels is pretty impressive. A high rpm motor without enough torque will not push the gearing I have with a .28. Just because a motor modded for higher rpm's like 35k+ does not mean it can push the gearing. Even if you get a super strong motor the tranny is the next hurdle.

RE: savage top speed?
Your right Foxy Neal a dyno only shows one part of the story and you know this. Yet they are impressive gains, it still does not make sense why you would push an engine almost 20k higher when they don't need it. I would think if you added a little more torque to your mods you could achieve the same top end without the insane motor poppin rpm.

RE: savage top speed?
If your so wise, then why do you huff and puff first, then decide to sit down and write out an educated response? The tallest gearing I run is 20/43t with 26/9t diffs, 146mm tires. This gearing, set for 62mph, yields an rpm of 28,400. I have an RS4 MOD1 22t CB and that geared for 62mph yields an rpm of 25,500 but I have to mod the CB to fit on the savage chassis, so I may not use it. However based off my experiance with high speed runs has shown me that its not all about gearing. The motor, one has to have torque to push the gearing, and two it needs to have a lot of power to reach those speeds. So my new motor will have a few changes from this last one. The crazy part is that my last motor was a torque motor not a high speed motor but yet it could have passed 60mph. My new goal is 65mph and I will reach it. Something else that has come to light is the stock 3spd tranny cannot pass 55mph without clutch pawl modifications. It simply cannot allow the motor to rev high enough into the power band to optimize the shift point. Your right the pipe and header have to be set up correctly for high speed runs. As you are already aware of the ERCM pipe is no joke and DOES make power. However for the lower rpm you speak of you need a longer header and for the taller rpm you need a shorter header. I have both to play with. But my 59mph run I used the shorter header. Oh and everytime I upped the gearing on my setup, the truck went faster and faster. With 18/44 and 143mm tires and 29/9 diffs Ive gone 55mph, with 18/43t, 146mm and 29/9 ive gone 55mph, with 18/43t, 146mm tires, and 26/9 diffs ive gone 58mph, with 19/43t, 146mm tires and 26/9t diffs i went 59mph. So as you can see the more gearing the faster I can go. If the motor had 1 less gallon on it and with the 20t cb 43t spur, 146mm tires and 26/9t diffs I would have broke 60mph. All of this is well within the 28,500-29,600rpm range using the ERCM endbleed and shortened dynamite header. Im still confused how can achieve 40,000+ rpm under load with the picco, but yet your dyno shows the best power under 25k. So then why do you mod your piccos to rev so high when they dont need to. All that does it raise the risk of popping the motor.

RE: savage top speed?
Notice I never said anything negative about the work you do. I simply compared my numbers to your numbers. This was not supposed to be a he's better than you argument. Your right you both mainly deal with different areas of the RC world but You comparing your truggy motors to a monster truck motor is silly IMO. I am well aware that you and robin are friends, but your also competitors in the same right. Originally I was asked if I tried one of your motors by someone who runs your gear. My answer to him was based off my comparison to the numbers you have provided in another conversation. You may very well be able to make a picco scream to 40,000rpm. You may be able to make a motor to allow a savage to run past 60mph. But again my comparisons are based off previous conversations in threads that end up getting deleted. My speed runs are something that I am very interested in. My ERCM picco was not modded for top speed but for torque. In doings speed runs I have learned a lot. Robin is also my friend and without his help and knowledge I wouldn't be where I am now. Just wait till the next episode

RE: savage top speed?
Haha here we go... First off your comparing a picco in a truggy to a picco in a much heavier savage. Wow, yes we all know that Dropping weight allows you to reach higher in the rpm band. So I'm not shocked that your picco is revving higher. Also 42,000 rpm under load. No my friend I don't believe that. This coming from a guy that will tell you all day long that the Piccos max power or useable power is in the 20-25,000rpm range. So why on earth would you build a motor that can rev so far past it's peak power? My savage XL weights 12lbs that stock weight or heavier and it ran 56.8mph. So no your XL isn't faster. There's guy here running a stock LRP 30 in an old savage 25 hittin 51mph and the truck is gone stock. So your 52mph attempt woohoo. As for making my claim, yes I showed you the facts that my picco made more power past your claim of 25,000. Mine consistently runs 29,000rpm and I have no lag on the bottom. Let's also not forget that I did all my speed runs with a Huge gouge in the piston and sleeve. So there alone proves even hurt it makes more peak power and at a higher rpm than your do. Your right your both top notch modders, but when you sit here and tell me to gear my truck to 25,000rpm for it best power chance, your wrong! Oh and my purpose built savage is nothing more than stock hpi parts with the exception on the cen ring and pinion. Everything is stock. Show me a savage running 65mph cause I sure as hell am not sending mine to you. Build your own and prove me wrong!

Check it out the last thing I want to do is get into a who's the best engine modder battle. We all have our opinions and thats exactly that, there opinions.

RE: savage top speed?
I don't need to run a clocked picco to know my ERCM is stronger. You don't hear about clocked Piccos tearing apart savages now do you? The BP 3 spd mod was created because of an ERCM picco. I then improved upon that mod by adding the steel 1st gear. I'm sure Neal makes great motors but based off my conversations with hi Robins motors make more useable power at higher rpm's and make more torque at lower rpm's. I don't need a dyno sheet to prove an ERCM motor.

RE: savage top speed?
Well I have an ERCM picco 28 and an ABmods picco 28 both run the ERCM endbleed. The ERCM picco holds the overall record at 59.2mph The ABmods picco holds out at 51mph In the XL chassis I was able to reach 56.8mph and could have seen 57 easily. In the X chassis I hit 58mph and the flux chassis I hit 59.2mph. This was all done with the ERCM picco. Now a gallon sooner I would have crossed 60mph. Just the motor was on the downward slope of its life. It wasn't done but what I was doing with it it was. In its present state it will still kick the crap out of any other motor. Oh and it has a big scratch in it Based off my experiance with the two different modders. I will continue to run ERCM all day long. His craftsman ship looks factory and is a work of art. I wish I could say the same for the other picco but I cannot. If you wat ballz out insanity get an ERCM motor. In the world of RC it's like a ford vs Chevy thing and I am ERCM fan but I arrived at this by running the competition first

RE: Best engine
Pinch has a lot to do with the tune, power on top, and temp. If there's plenty left it effects all of that. Piccos are just as easy to run as SH motors, just have to know how to tune to run them. Piccos are stronger than the SH motors and built better. I simply can't understand how you don't think you can get more power running your motors past the 220f mark. Nitro engines perform the best above this. Over time your motor will loose the pinch and not perform the same at the current temps you speak of. They will seem slow and sluggish. Then you lean them out a little and it's like they have come back to life. This happens to every motor. When I had my LRP 30 I ran it with a McCoy 59 and odonnels 20% for 5 gallons. It saw 300f maybe twice but the motor liked to run around 230-240f for a couple gallons then it went to 260-265 before I rebuilt it. The idea behind the performance tune is to make the motor run its best while keeping it properly lubricated. Keeping it rich all the time takes away from the true potential of wot passes. But it does prolong the life of an engine keeping it super rich. LRPs are great motors for people just getting into nitro and want something stronger than an rtr and for people who don't want to mess with tuning. There windows are so big as compared to higher quality motors.

RE: Best engine
Cold plugs give you a better top end because you can lean the motor out more. My 59mph video, gearing is only one part of it. With the exact same gearing I went from 53 mph to 59mph. It's the tune that allowed that to happen. I have a video of my truck running odonnels race fuel 30% then switching to Werks 30% and you can see and hear the motor richen up a lot, because of the castor oil in the Werks that the odonnels doesn't have. I have a video of the truck running a cold plug struggling to idle, lean the LSN and properly adjust the gap and it will idle all day long. Also my truck hit 59mph with a OD100 medium plug not a cold plug. A cold plug would have pushed me past 60mph. Your comment on pinch, it's partially wrong. When the pinch is all gone it means the motor can make 100% power because it's not fighting the pinch. Yes your correct that after time the motor will start to fade in power. But this is after many many gallons and hopfully a rebuild. By then you have gotten your money worth from the motor. Piccos do not require special plugs and cost no more than an LRP 30. It's a better made motor and holds a tune so much better. Again for the 3rd time there your motors not mine and you are going to run them how you want. If your having fun good. I only raise the flag because some of the info is a little off. You cannot deny your tune can be so much better

RE: Best engine
Haha your right your tune is off if you cant get an LRP to idle properly. I know all about WOT passes, I have a 59 mph savage. My experiance with the LRP 30 showed me that they take awhile to fully break in. If you have over 3 gallons thru these motors then there fully broke in. So leaning them out a little more will not hurt the motor but intern make more power. A tight motor will have temp spikes and want to run cooler because of the pinch. A properly broke in motor on a performance tune will run between 230-260f on almost every BB motor out there. When the motors pinch is all gone then the motor can truly make the most power. A motor that still has some pinch, will not make max power because it's fighting that pinch as the piston travels upward. A hot gp should be used during break in and snow driving. A med plug is better all around performer. A cold plug allows you to lean the motor out on both needles which means more power. Idk about you but full hour turns on any needle is a huge turn. When on a performance tune the needles only need 5-15 min turns to dial in that window. General rule of thumb; if you have smoke still coming out ontop at full throttle, the. The motor is still being lubricated. When you don't see smoke or just a super faint amount then you have reason to caution. Doing wot passes all the time will shorten the life of motor.

Like I said there your motors not mine and you don't need to show me proof. Also the reason you get more power out of a cold plug is because you can lean them out more ontop. But then again based off what you said you run them rich anyways so leaning them out for you would just be entering the performance tune stage. Again if your having fun and they work for you great. I just think you can get more power than you have with a better tune. I to like odonnels plugs OD100 and OD99

[quote]ORIGINAL: HerrSavage ALL the SH engines I've had - three Mach 427's, two Sportwerks 26's, an LRP Spec 3, a Dynamite Big Red .28, a Losi 454, and now an LRP 30X, all run on the cold side.. IMVHO if you have them running hot, something is off. Back in the day 2DMAXXLST used to post videos all the time of his Machs and LRP's making good power at like 170, and racing at 200-ish.. This has been my experience too. I run a cold plug (OS A5/#10), and get good performance, not to mention life out of them.. That said, they do have a kind of erratic idle, that needs blipping to keep it from cutting out. For the price and power and ease of use, etc.. though I can live with that.. I especially like my Big Red and now the LRP 30X.. But honestly I loved my Machs and LRP Spec 3 too.. They just did their thing - and very very well... They all lasted forever too, except in the couple unfortunate instances where air filters flew off..(RIP Spec 3, which was still going strong at what must have been ten gallons....) Hot plugs IMO kill power. Here in this video, look at 1:55 and see where the Big Red kicks the wheels up on the 1-2 shift.. Making good power, and running 210ish probably, with an OS A5 plug - but possibly an Odonnell purple, which I am also liking very much.. OS 8's and MC59's etc.. I don't like so much.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kOPfSkcDcU I got my Big Red for like $130 at Amain, and being an SH engine, put like 4-5 tanks of an easy break-in through it, and then letter' rip.. Zero issues in like three years and I don't know how much fuel.. Cheap, simple, powerful, reliable.. THAT to me makes for ''the best engine''... BTW, in that video the carb ball-end got ripped off the 454 in my basher LST2.. So I rummaged in some boxes and found an old Mach carb, and fixed it in two minutes.. The cheapness and ubiquity of SH engines are significant advantages.. ps IMO the ideal temp range for SH engines is 200-235.. This has been the case too with the 3-4 temp guns I've had, and all the engines.. Basically, once you hit 180, letter' rip, and maybe richen it a tiny tad if it gets too much north of 250... [/quote] How is it that the general concensis is that during break in your supposed to get the engine upto 200f and keep it there for a various amount of fuel. Based off your statement above your just taking the whole breakin process and dragging it out way to long. A motor does not make full power until all the pinch is gone. All your doing by running your motors cold and rich is just exteneding the life of the motor. Runnin a cold plug and having to blip the throttle to keep it alive is a tuning issue. A properly tuned LSN and idle gap you don't need to blip the throttle with a cold plug. Basically I disagree with how you run your motors, but there yours not mine and I'm only one person. As long as you have fun that's all that mattress I do not run a 30x but run modded Piccos and they start just fine when there ran above 300f. They only get that hot from constant high speed runs haha. During all my speed runs I never used a temp gun. Good tuners don't use them

Why do you say that, cause of the price? The price means nothing compared to the performance gain they bring. The picco is a great mill with awesome quality. In stock trim its a brutal motor, modded it's a whole different animal :) I have two different modded Piccos, one a top end and the others a torque monster. The 053 pipe does what it needs to but doesn't really bring these motors to life. The 086 is strong and wails but compared to the ERCM it's a night and day difference. I'm not trying to persuade you to by an ERCM pipe I just think people should seriously consider them without price in mind. There litterally hand made each one. The power increase is nuts. Even if you find your timing settings you should look into the pipe.

In that video you clearly see that the motor has richened up a lot and gives me much more room to lean out the motor for even more power. Werks 30% allowed me to hit 59 mph in my Savage

As for the record, the record was 52.9mph set by Robin at ERCM but there is one video of a guy at CC racing with a savage that hits 70mph with twin motors, but his is not stock by any means. Traxxas gearing and the motors are modded, but the way the guy radars gun is a little fishy. My time running for the record has shown me a fews things when accuratly trapping speed. GPS is more accurate than the radar gun and the radar gun on average is 1mph faster than GPS. My truck uses all stock parts that anyone can buy from HPI. The idea behind it was to make the fastest possible savage with all HPI stuff, the only thing different is the CEN ring and pinions, the rest is all HPI. Of course the baddest MONSTER truck engine there is[;)]...or was[:o] The motor would have easily reached 60mph a gallon sooner with the knowledge I have now but when I get my new mill, 65+ here I come. Oh and that motor is a torque motor not meant for top speed [;)]
