Horatio comment on the Power of STS D30M rc engine!. Please check his other review at his own Horatio category.
Just ripped through another 47t Plastic spur, so enough is enough. Depending on how I’m using the STS, I can make the plastic spurs last for a while, but as soon as I get aggressive with the throttle, the STS eats them alive. Simply rips the teeth off. Then melts them.
I’ve resorted to using a steel spur and hardened clutchbell. After careful consideration, I decided to use an RW 47t Spur and 18t Hardened clutchbell. It’s a fairly heavy option - BUT - unlike some certain steel spurs, it doesn’t resemble a circular saw!! It’s just as wide as a stock plastic spur, so in theory it should be kinder to the clutch bell and tooth wear should be acceptable. All metal gears go ‘pointy’ eventually, even hardened items on buggies, so it makes sense on the Savage to get the load spread across as wide an area as possible.
The HPI dual brake kit is working after a fashion, but it’s not as effective as the old CNR setup it replaces. The brake hub is lasting well after some serious abuse, but the brakes are not very progressive and have a tendancy to snatch, even after bedding in. In my opinion, the disc rotors are too thin.
The thicker CNR discs were more stable and consistent. Also, the CNR Carbon fibre shoes required no pad material, but still brought everything to a smooth commanding stop.
I mentioned about the wear on the CNR brake hub, well it’s a shame there isn’t some way of combining the best elements of both setups in one product. The larger hex size of the CNR hub would be really nice in a hardened steel item, similar to the smaller HPI size item - just bigger to suit the CNR rotors. Otherwise, all the CNR components are more effective.

What is with STS #0702 Tuned pipe? This pipe is designed for .28 - .30 sized engines, in particular the STS Monster truck engines. [editor: STS D28M and STS30M]
It’s very nicely made and has a nice polished appearance. It comes supplied with a manifold/header pipe, silicon gasket, exhaust spring and coupling springs (between pipe and header).
Unfortunately, the manifold supplied with this pipe does not fit the HPI Savage.
It appears to be suited to Truggies, where the pipe fits down the left side of the engine. Additionally, the shape of the manifold is incorrect for Savage use - it doesn’t fit close enough to the engine to allow clearance for the rear-right Shocks.
My Edit in-line manifold (#ED100227) arrived yesterday and is now fitted to the STS #0702 pipe! It works a treat. The only minor modification needed is to the the exhaust mount wire, to fit the slightly different dimensions of the STS pipe!
http://www.rc-edit.com/?lang=en
The Edit manifold has a nice finish, and fitted very well. However, I noticed a lip that needed to be dremmeled prior to installation. The STS 0702 pipe is very different to the HPI ribbed item. The main thing I noticed was how much more pressure there was to the tank, so much so, I had to lean the main needle by 1/2 a turn! Power delivery is slightly smoother, less explosive and seemingly broader. Fuel consumption is improved yet the top-end seems even better.
Okay, I’ve put the Savage through a good bashing session today. I mean properly thrashed!
Between high speed runs, being chased by a mad dog and catching some air, my Savage was certainly put through it’s paces. 18/47 gearing on the 3 speed certainly gives an impressive top speed with the STS, as well as constant power wheelies. The truck is very responsive in the air with this engine, and I very nearly pulled off an insane back-flip off one of the naturally formed jumps. I endo’ed the landing, but it was mental!
The damage after the day’s antics? Tooth marks on the lower arm and a broken spur!! (Missing teeth this time - no melting issues!).
I also need another gallon of fuel.
The diffs, remarkably, are holding up very well; the brake hub, diff outputs and drive cups etc are worn and need replacing, but to be fair these items already had many gallons through them and still work after a fashion! The old Savage has a new lease of life - it still rocks!

Update on the Fioroni Turbo Sliding Clutch:
Well, had a bash around with the HPI Savage today. The engine is tuned and the power is awesome. The Fioroni clutch exhibits awesome bite now and the truck pulls power wheelies with very little provocation. There is no clutch fade and the power-band is so aggressive and broad with the STS D30M, that extreme care has to be taken at all times not to put the truck on it’s lid.

Well, I’ve run about 7 tanks of fuel through the D.30 now. I’m leaning the needles to a point where I can blast the Savage around, but the throttling is still rough at this stage with the needles set rich. The engine runs cool on the 25% O’Donnell fuel. The pullstart has been very reliable and the engine starts very easily. I’m not a fan of pullstarts and I will ‘upgrade’ to a roto backplate in due course, but the pullstart is pretty rugged thus far.
The engine was nice and tight when I got it, but not so tight as typical competition engines. The engine is eager to start and stays running even while warming up. The piston never once got stuck at TDC, even during the first couple of tanks.
The Power delivery of the D .30 is very agressive to say the least and even with the needles set rich, the engine hauls the Savage around very rapidly on 18/49 gearing. And it’s very loud on the Ribbed exhaust. As in ‘very’. The engine is showing early promise and it’s going to be a screamer, without a doubt. Cue dremmel, stage right……
The Fioroni Turbo Slider is working, but the shoes are slipping slightly. It may need some bedding in, but so far the clutch doesn’t have enough ‘grab’ to lift the front wheels. Unlike my stock 3 shoe clutch
I have a small piece of silicon fuel tubing slipped over the TVP on the right side to protect the edge of the STS engine and the header pipe. It works a treat. It’s something I’ve always done with my Savage.
While I’m running the D .30 rich, I will say it consumes fuel at an almost alarming rate……roll on the time when I can set the needles to optimum settings.
More updates to follow….

Horatio second update on the STS 30M
STS D.30 update:
Well, the STS .D30 is very similar in size to most NS series engines. It fits in the stock engine mount without too much drama. However, I did need to relieve the inside edges of the engine mounts so that it fitted the STS .D30 crank case.
I left the head shims in place for the break-in/running-in period. I checked the main needle position, closed it off gradually - whilst blowing down a scrap piece of fuel line - until the main needle was shut off. I opened it 3 turns from this position. Note - I didn’t crank it all the way down till it couldn’t physically move anymore! That’s not my definition of ‘closed’ for any main needle, which at the end of the day is a precision metering device.
A lot has been said about the STS factory needle position already, with certain people even arguing with respected dealers like Ryan. At the end of the day, the exact number of turns is arbitrary anyway. But you do need to find a rough ball-park starting point. 3 turns open from the shut off point is a good place to start for most engines.
Before I could start the engine, I needed to install it into the truck with my choice of clutch - the Fioroni Turbo Slider, with carbon shoes. The flywheel was actually designed for Kyosho buggies, so there was an element of doubt whether it would actually be compatible with the HPI Savage. Most people use Mugen size flywheel. But I figured a work around, and so far it seems ok. The holes in the engine mounting plate had to be enlarged slightly to move the engine rearward slightly.
Clearance between the clutch bell and the 49t spur is minimal using the Fioroni set up, but so be it. I should be using a 46t spur anyway!!
After installation, I needed to adjust the linkage to the carb and make a slight bend as well. I also needed to physically remove the servo horn and adjust it accordingly. The brake linkage needed adjustment and both the sub-trim and EPA needed to be re-set on the radio. This is due to the different carb, and the slightly larger slide travel compared to the old NS .25 engine. Nothing too taxing here, but worth noting.
The engine started firing on the second pull after ‘priming’, but the engine was far too rich to stay running, even with the glow starter attached. The engine sprang into life after I turned the main needle in about 1/2 a turn. I warmed the engine for about 2 minutes, then blipped the throttle and removed the glow. I ran 3 tanks through, with the Savage lifted clear off the ground.
I’ll finish off the initial running tomorrow!!

Ok here it comes. My first ever real articles. Which Monster Truck should i buy? You have to ask these six questions before you can come up to the right conclusion. Yes, no doubt, thats the one right for me, you said.
1. Scale
How much space Do I have? Do you have Little space or Lots of space? If Little Space, then 1:18 or 1:20 in scale. But if you choose Lots of Space, then 1:10 or 1:8 or even the 1:5 !!
2. Environment
Will Noise Be a Problem? If you answer ‘YES’, then Electric Truck is suitable. If ‘NO’ for noise is a problem, then Gas truck is the way to go! Nothing beat the sound of roaring engine!
3. Maintenance
Can I Fix the Truck? If ‘NO’, then may I suggest, go for Electric Truck. Easier. But if you answer ‘YES’ you can fix it, Gas Truck is the way to go. Why? The engine mostly the cause of this. You need some knowledge. thats for sure.
4. Running Costs
Can I Afford the Fuel? If ‘NO’, then of course Electric Truck. If ‘YES’ you can afford it, then go for Gas Truck.
5. Do I want to Race or Bash?
Do you want to race or bash? If you said you definitely want to RACE IT ONLY, The Truggy or Stadium Truck are the best choice. But if you said, you want to Bash AND race, The go for Monster Truck. Of course you can choose truggy and stadium truck too.
6. Do I want to Build My Truck?
If the answer is definite ‘NO’, The only choice is go for the RTR, Ready to Run. Or if you the adventurous one, and you said ‘YES’ I want to build my own truck, then get the KIT or almost Ready to Run.
I know these are just a simple guideline on how to choose the right truck for you. Each question deserve more explanation and even from each questions, they should be a few more questions under it. But you know what? I just decided to keep this open for discussion. I believe you guys are more expert and knowledgeable than me on this matter. So please do comment so everyone can benefit. Thanks. This is just a test for me. I have to say this is not originally from me with my many years in radio control. I know i have read them somewhere but i forgot which website or magazine. I just take these from my scrapebook. I usually write what i read so I didn’t forget. Hehehe. If anyone knows the source of this article or writing.. or it really an article from me, let me know, ok. My purpose is just to share the knowledge. Nothing else. And of course, my english is poor. Its my 2nd language. So just ignore, ok.

webmaster note:Yes, found this post in the rctech about STS D30M engine. Thanks to Horatio, this post should be in this blog. So i posted on his behalf.
On the subject of STS……..
I decided to have a good look at my new engine. Now there’s been a fair bit of hype surrounding these engines, not just the MT engines but the TC and buggy engines too. After some initial niggles, it soon became clear that these engines perform extremely well at about half the price of typical competition engines.
The engine I received came protected in a vacuum sealed bag within a very nice foam-packed box. The excellent instructions cover all the important things in a very concise way, with some occasional ‘quaint’ English thrown in, just to amuse us!
Here in the UK, most of us have had a fair bit of snow over night, so running in at this stage isn’t a good idea. Instead, I stripped and checked my STS D.30’s internal parts.
All I can say is - WOW. Bear in mind I’ve had lots of decent engines in my time, so I’m not easily impressed. But this engine is so well made, it’s almost too good to be true. The quality of the casting is first class. The inside of the case was perfectly clean, properly lubed with absolutely no sign of rust or even the merest blemish on the crank or the knife-edged con-rod. 10/10.
This is one of those engines that you could fire-up straight away, without any need to flush or clean first. Much like OS quality in terms of finish.
The carb isn’t quite as good as an OS, nor would you really expect it to be. It’s a little bit sticky at the closed side, but presumably this will soon be eliminated with use, once everything has had a chance to bed-in. Otherwise, the needles, slide, spray bar and carb body look very nicely made.
The screws all needed a little torque to pinch them up, so I decided to de-grease them and apply some thread lock. I did this on the back plate and also on the pullstart assembly. As the plastic on the pullstart is potentially incompatible with solvents present in the thread lock, I ensured the thread lock was put only into the holes of the alloy casing, therefore eliminating any contact between the plastic and the thread lock.
The button head comes supplied with what looks like a 0.1mm and a 0.3mm head shim. After run-in, I’ll probably stick with just the 0.3 shim on 25% fuel.
Remember the problems I had with my trusty S 25 when I first inspected it? Looks like Nitro Star could use a few lessons from the engineers at STS. And the K 4.6 - remember the interesting ‘pitted’ piston that they came supplied with in many cases? Both engines cost about the same. Hmmm.
This is all well and good, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating!! I’ll keep you updated with how the engine break-in goes. In the meantime, I need to get hold of the STS .21 Tuned in-line pipe/manifold and the Fioroni Turbo Slider clutch. More £££.
Just added, New tuned pipe for D.28 and D.30 engines will be available 12th Feb, #0702.

OK, it is not Nitro. I would have said “Sorry…” BUT what the heck. Any good article, deserve to be in this blog.
Now this is what i call dedication and pure interest to the max. I salute this guy. Now, who am i talking about? I also do not know. He’s only known as Joeling in rctech. But he is friendly and i’m sure you’ll thank me and mesmerized by what he put his time to writing all these. Valuable post. you will agree me when you finished reading it.
Introduction
I began to take rc seriously again after a 15 year layoff. Of course, ’serious’ is pretty relative in terms of the overall scheme of things. I was a basher & will probably always be one. I have never raced rc at any competitive level in my previous life either. I’m not about to change. Instead, I have always been a tinkerer, trying to make something different, though not necessarily better. In addition, I only knew electric stuff – no nitro for me. Hmm, thinking back now, I kind of remember that nitro was starting to take off just as my interest was fading. Could the two be linked ?

Thanks to Dennis “2D” Adams aka 2DMaxLST, from rctech and LSTforums, this engine comes to the spotlight again. Somehow, this STS 21T engine seems to belong to the right people destined to be on the podium, aHa! Just check the porting work. It comes out of box like that and its not expensive at all. Well done to STS Taiwan.
