A very strong engine, very easy to tune, I get around 11minutes on the track. Best purchase I've made.
This combo is a good deal for the money. The motor was a pain in the rear to get broken in. Very very tight compression even heated up. Be prepared for that. Tuned the motor just based on sound and it was darn near the recommended specs. Only ran about half a gallon of fuel through it but overall I'm pleased.
Great value on this engine. I recommend this to anyone looking for a high quality engine at a reasonable price.
Great engine for first timers and seasoned hobbyist looking to get into nitro and that would prefer kits over RTR. Great price with even greater performance. My son uses this on his 1/8 truggy and after this past weekend, we had several people ask us what engine we use, saw people in our pits checking out our rig, or simply commenting on how fast the car is. Very competitive and we have no regrets for choosing this over the more expensive options. Would like to try OS Speed some day, but we kept up or even out paced those who were running the top tier engines.
I’ve been told this is a great engine for a reasonable price even though I do think all the engines in general are way too expensive. Not to mention wheels and tires which are definitely overpriced. I go through tires in 1 day sometimes. It’s ridiculous right? So far the engine runs great. I just finished breaking it in and the last tank I ran the performance was awesome. Like the engine a lot. It’s a good buy for sure
