Dynamite .21 RTR Nitro Engine w/Pullstart

Long story short, I wanted to get into Nitro buggy, but didn't have a disposable income to throw at equipment. I picked up this Engine, and paired it with the Dynamite Platinum 1/8 053 Mid Range Inline Exhaust System. It was very cheap, and I could break in the engine prior to purchasing a starter box. I installed the pipe's O-Rings with some bearing oil (Schelle Racing Black Diamond), and fired it up. Took a few good pulls to start the first time, but had her up and running for break-in. 4 tanks later, she was ready to rip. I got about 12 tanks of practice in before the pull-start system started to get a "catch" on return. I cleaned out the system with compressed air and it seemed to do a little bit better, but wound up purchasing the Dynamite Pull Start Eliminator Backplate so that I could use a standard bump-box. Powerband is very good, and robotically consistent. I have one of the fastest buggies down the back stretch at our local track, and in our travelling series. It gets around 10 to a tank, which isn't exceptional, but nothing to scoff at, either. It was very easy to tune, and seems to have maintained a good pinch after 1/2 gallon. Temps hover at around 240, which as I have heard is the "sweet spot". Very impressed with the overall quality of the unit, but you may need to remove the pull start rather quickly. For 1/6th of the cost of a new O.S., I have received similar performance. Would purchase again.

Love this engine!! Not only is engine easy to tune, but it holds a tune very well.

ive got one of these Dynamite .21s, its a runner! maybe not the best in fuel mileage but it does reall well for a cheap engine. Through on the losi 8ight pull start eliminator for the dynamite and it really wakes up this engine and make sure to use OS LC3/4 or lrp standard plugs and youll be doing alright! also pair it with the dynamite 053 pipe and it really wakes this guy up.
ive put well over a gallon and does real well.
Perfect for those wanting to get an engine for cheap just to beat on and have fun! also if you dont find the manual welp, there isnt one. Look for the losi 8ight/t rtr nitro manual and somewhere youll find the tuning tips on there. otherwise its a damn good engine for the price its at!

This engine came on my losi 8ight b nitro rtr. I am very impressed with this engine overall. It's extremely easy to tune, and it doesn't require constant tuning like alot of other nitro engines. I have roughly 8 to 10 gallons through mine, and I am just now starting to notice a little power loss. If you race for fun, or just bash. This motor is perfect for a buggy application. Can't beat it for the price.

great product works well in losi 8 4.0 no issues easy break in
