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.

I ran both in my 8T and preferrd the mach over the axial but that was just me

truck_buster23 · (#12 (**permalink**))

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?
