Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / June 2006Ofna Force 32 Question
Here I am with the same question I had on the Ofna Force .28.. Does anyone know if the Force .32 Motor accepts the same pullstarts/rotostarts as the .28/.26/.21 Force engines do? > Here I am with the same question I had on the Ofna Force .28.. > Does anyone know if the Force .32 Motor accepts the same > pullstarts/rotostarts as the .28/.26/.21 Force engines do? Ruh roh! Sounds like someone is gunna drop some huge cubes into his Savage! I'm just about ready to splurge on a new mill for the ol' beast myself. I'm really tempted to grab an Axial .32 as the reviews I've read have been great.

You know it makes sense.  SignatureDan Definately considering a motor transplant of some sort. Would be nice if the 32 accepts the same starters as the other Force motors, as I have spare rotos and pulls here to fit those. > >> Here I am with the same question I had on the Ofna Force .28.. > >> Does anyone know if the Force .32 Motor accepts the same [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Novarossi .28.

You know it makes sense. The 8 port Novarossi .28 is the most powerful of all the engines.

Damn thing screams and has like a 2' turning radius! The Proline Badlands were really hooking up in the ash-like dirt I was running in. I'm tempted to swap out the 7.0mm carb insert for the 8.5mm one and make it even quicker, but if it gets any faster it'll go vertical...............

I can't think of any viable excuse for running the pussy carb :-) ? >>>>> The 8 port Novarossi .28 is the most powerful of all the engines. >>>>> Don't let yourself be blinded by the cubes :) [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > I can't think of any viable excuse for running the pussy carb :-) ? Neither can I. You can never have too much power :) Btw, can you easily change carbs over like that?? Like could I put a carb from a .28 (with big throat) onto my .21 which is a screamer donk?? or will it screw everything up. Can you muck around with carbs on these little engines like you can with the big ones?? Cheers Dre >>>>>> The 8 port Novarossi .28 is the most powerful of all the engines. >>>>>> Don't let yourself be blinded by the cubes :) [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > Cheers Dre They're actually carb inserts. Same carb, but it came with 6.5, 7.0 and 8.5mm carb inserts. I have the same carb on my Mayhem ST. I run the 8.5mm insert on the Mayhem as it's bigger and heavier, but have stuck with the 7.0mm on the Kanai d/t it being lighter. With regard to never having too much power..............I'm gunna disagree. Eventually you get to a point where the wheels won't grab d/t too much torque and the top speed exceeds the vehicles ability to handle. Would you drop a GM 572 ci big block in a Ford Fiesta? No? Why not? Too much power! The Mayhem, being a heavier vehicle needs all the oomph I can squeeze out of the motor, but the buggy does just fine with the 7.0mm carb insert, has USEABLE power and gets great fuel economy to boot!

Cheers Dre > Bah, spoil sport :P > > But seriously, can you swap carbs over and not wreck the performance of > the engine?? > > Cheers Dre As long as it physically fits, yeah, you can swap carbs out between engines. The OD of the bottom of the carb must be the same as the ID of where the carb fits in the motor. This info is available for most motors and carbs.

The [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > I can't think of any viable excuse for running the pussy carb :-) ? Fuel economy for one............I race this thing and I get 1-2 minutes more per tank than with the bigger carb insert. One less pit stop = about 10-15 seconds off the total time. Doc Holy Cow! I looked at the Novarossi .28's and I could have 2 -3 engines for the price! Not saying it may not be worth it,...but it may not be worth it, to someone on a budget! I still haven't found out on the .32 Force pullstart, if it is a "specific" unit or the same as the other Force engines. Waiting on a reply from Ofna............(if they respond at all) > > Definately considering a motor transplant of some sort. > > Would be nice if the 32 accepts the same starters as the other Force [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > The 8 port Novarossi .28 is the most powerful of all the engines.

Cause there is one on ebay atm for $270US which I didn't think was too bad. But its a 3 port, I would have thought they had an 8 port (which prolly costs an arm :) http://tinyurl.com/jex2u Cheers Dre >> Holy Cow! >> I looked at the Novarossi .28's and I could have 2 -3 engines for the [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Cheers Dre Yea there is also the faster one ;-) Which does indeed cos an arm, and a kidney. The only experience I have of Force engines is of their .21s. I knew of 3, that all let go... SignatureDan >> Here I am with the same question I had on the Ofna Force .28.. >> Does anyone know if the Force .32 Motor accepts the same [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >Doc Does anyone havean idea of how theAxial .32 stands up against other motors, , , specifically the RB 728 series engines? I went to town to buy a 728 but they sold their last one. They did have an axial .32, for less but without a pipe. What I'd like to see is a rundown of many of the popular engines compared, but have yet to find such information. Thanks >>> Here I am with the same question I had on the Ofna Force .28.. >>> Does anyone know if the Force .32 Motor accepts the same [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > What I'd like to see is a rundown of many of the popular engines > compared, but have yet to find such information. Thanks I can't remember where I read about it, but it was a decent review. I'm sure the RB is a better motor as they make some wicked mills, BUT the Axial is like $100 cheaper. I think the axial is right in the same class as the SureFire .32 (good performance at a decent price). It's gunna get wonked by the Italian mills, OS and RB engines, but it much less expensive. The only thing that has kept me from grabbing one is the parts availability at my LHS and E-Bay (both of which are nill).

I kinda figured that would be the case. It is unfortunate that we don't have honest numbers to compare engines with. I have an MGT 4.6 that I'm looking to upgrade the motor in, but I just don't have any way of getting an honest numbers. When someone says "Motor X is much more powerful than Motor Y", do they mean Motor X makes 5% more horespower, or 500% more horsepower? Are they even right? Are they comparing the performance of a truck that is set up properly for one engine, and poorly for the other? I know horsepower numbers are only a small part of the equasion, , , but without them, we are often left with only opinions and vague comparisons. Anyways, That's my rant. . .. . L8r > "Doc" wrote: >> > [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] > Anyways, That's my rant. . .. . > L8r You're right on the money. The numbers given by manufacturers are worthless IMO. Every motor I've read dyno reviews on has produced less HP than claimed by the manufacturer, some by up to 20% less. I just find a good motor by reading user reviews and personal experimentation and stick with it. I'm hooked on Sportwerks .26, 7-port V2's right now. They put out an honest 2.75HP @ an honest 36,000RPM, are easy to tune, hold a tune well, do not overheat and are cheap as dirt ($129.99!). I have em' in two of my three vehix right now (Kanai III and Mayhem ST) and am contemplating dropping one in the ol' Savage as well. I run a THS 8012 on the buggy and a Sportwerks HT pipe on the truggy and it performs equally well with both pipes, albeit with a different powerband (THS = low-mid, SWK = mid-high).

SignatureDan >I've heard the big RBs are prone to overheating... I heard that once before, but on the forums on RBs website, there are little or no mention of overheating. I would think if there were a problem, it would show up there to some degree. . |
