Just grabbed a Sportwerks .26 off the bay' for $91.01 delivered. They
retail for $129.99. Looks like my motor search is over! Now all three of
my vehix will be powered by the same mill! You really can't go wrong. Gobs
of power throughout the powerband and they rev to the bloody moon.
Now for some Alu clutch shoes and a nice high-speed tuned
pipe...............

The version made for the Savage..............the S-25 roto backplate will
actually bolt right on. The K4.6 roto will not.

They're not *exactly* the same. The Axial has quite a difference in the
transfer ports in the block; piston and sleeve are identical, transfer ports
are not.
