This replaced a Nova Rossi .28 motor in a truggy I bought that was at the end of its life. I only got about a quart of nitro through it before it was just ready to be retired.
Took me about 8 hours but I was able to get the initial break-in done in a day. I have about 1.5 gallons through it between the tune and runs and she's finally fallen into her final tune after about 300 laps around my local track.
Not difficult to tune. I would say most people would probably try to over-tune it by fiddling with it, but it really just takes some minor adjustments and she's ready to burn. Get the bottom end where it loads up how you like during the breakin, then when she's ready lean out the top end till she purrs.
When on a race tune half throttle is more than enough to keep up with even the fastest cars at the track. It will definitely burn the tires off your rig if you aren't careful. It ate the X2 Blockade's that were on it the first day I had it out before the tune was even complete! I've had to re-learn how to drive without destroying tires due to the insane power this thing makes.
If you mean to race, it's hard to beat this set for the money. It's about the same price for a Nova Rossi P5 by the time you get the manifold and pipe, and I honestly think this is the better motor.
Keep a look out though, for $30 more than this kit Reds sells a kit with a full clutch setup, multiple venturi ports, and more!

There is no question this is a superior motor. Out of the box it fired right up. Not even half way through the brake in and this motor is a monster. Any one looking for an upgrade for their rtr of a choice for their buggy, this is the one. You won’t be disappointed.

Well this is my first off road power plant.
Let me first say the negative reviews you may see, on this motor and basically all known to run on this earth is due to a simple reason.
A. People don't preheat their motor and or break in properly.
As the price may look, this is not a rtr motor. The pinch is very very tight and it needs to be pre heated.
After a proper break in with pre warming and proper cooling at BDC this motor runs solid. You don't need a 700 dollar motor combo to run, you need to break them in like a 700 dollar motor combo.
Have fun.
Run Specific -
** Mine was slightly lean on HSN from stock.
** Mine pinched and stuck on break in at TDC due to my failure to keep temps up. No problems after disassembly.
** Pipe is very large. Long and a large circumference. FYI. Even with the S Manifold.
I will give it 5 stars once I win a race with it. Otherwise it's the motor I run all the time. May buy another to use as race only.
