Which is better? Axial .28rr or Mach 427. - truck_buster23 - 02-20-2008
Just wondering which is more dependable and which is faster? any opinions would be great

both are good budget mills... i PERSONALLY havent owned either but i did eat , sleep and live r/c for the last 3 years and in my opinion i would give the axial the nod... They seem to be really good mills. The 427 is an SH based motor and those can be hit or miss.

ok thanks I have a rtr 8-t and my bro has a hyper st pro with the axial .28rr and I was hoping my mach would keep up with him. If he smokes me can you give me a idea what would be a good choice of engine I could get that would be faster or atleast keep up? or will the mach be fine to run.

it will be fine to run. He will probally smoke you though buggies have a bit less weight to get moving and smaller tires to acclerate

i have both motors, and i like the axial better. it holds a tune better and runs a higher rpm.

thanks guys I will see how badly he beats me than I will get a better engine we are gonna start to do some racing a little bit and if I cant beat everyone else I atleast want to beat him, we pretty much drive the same so betwen him and I it will come down to the faster engine lol

Lol, Setup is a big factor. Its not always motor. in fact unless there are like MASSIVE long jumps your engine won't matter as much indoors.
I've seen the Mach .427 Haul some ass, don't sell it out.

thanks again guys again and I know that the engine is not everything it's just that when we race anything it's so close and I just hope that when he start going with that axial my mach can keep up ok just say he whoops me bad and I cant keep up what engine will eat that axial up?

oh... oh man you can get the new OS .28 for that price (high end) and that will DESTROY the axial!!!

yeah i just picked a new os28 im curious to see how it will run compared to my vspec and my eb modded 421b and my eb p5x i also have a new in box nova 528 but im still debating what i should do with that has anyone seen the os 28 run?

Ive chased a .28 with my vspek and it pulled me pretty good the first 15-20ft out the corners then seemed to even up the rest of the straight. I want one.

Is a vspek a russian copy of a V-Spec?

thanks guys could I use the flywheel off my 427 on that os?

Hmmm...Prolly. Since you'll be using the Losi Clutch, gotta use the Losi flywheel. Get a new collet though.
