Dynamite Big Red Monster .28 Mach 2 with Pull/Spin Start DYN0992 .16+ Car/Truck Engines

I’ve been running this engine since October 2017 with absolutely zero issues. I’ve run it a tad richer than what the manual calls for, mostly during the break in, and have had great results. It powers a Factory Team MGT from June 2005 with plenty of power and amazing top end torque and RPM. Great engine, especially for the price. My only problem is that the head is a little too large for my glow plug igniters to reach all the way to the glow plug, but was easily fixed by buying a longer driver. DuBro makes them. Other than that, it’s perfect.

I just placed this engine in my 2007 Aftershock after trying an Axial 0.28. The break-in instructions were easy to follow and after about the 3rd tank the engine started to show it's color! On about tank 10 and some tuning the truck was doing wheelies when punched from half-throttle. It has a lot of torque throughout it's range. It seems to like to run a little rich which is fine by me. It grabbed the attention of the local track owner, he was able to clear a high triple and said he's be happy to race it against th truggies....enough said there! It's too early to see how long it will last but so far I am thrilled with Big Red (especially at it's price point). Be careful with the combo pull/spin start plate, it is very tight initially (broke my first one).
