My dads a retired mechanic. He’s always had long nails on his pinky and thumb. I asked one day what that was all about and why didn’t he clip them. He said the number of times he’d have to grab a tool for what his nails could do might have saved him a year of walking to the tool box.

Great little budget engine....super easy break in and tune....used my Hudy break in bench ....so nice to get the tune very close then install in car and final tune is easy

Sweet video. I can't wait till the running video. I'm about to order one for my savage

I bought one, after watching your review about it.

Great review & tips!..👍

Your Right. Stock out of the box Carb setting. Should be basic knowledge for the Nitro Drive. Different Out Side Temps. And different oil content % in Nitro Fuel. It is best too know how to tune a Carb. I killed two 3.3 learning.

Bug watched every one of your videos bro absolutely love your personality and I learned atleast one thing from every video 👍👍👌🖕 keep it up bro

I put one of these in my last Savage build it's an phenomenal mill I put six gallons through mine with zero issues 3 of those gallons maybe a lil more wer at sand dunes it still runs to this day for the guy I sold it to

I had a little drinky poo while watching this 😊excellent video man

cheers 🍻

I have this on my savage x4.6 for 4 years now . So far I know LSN 2 full turn after closed And HSN 3.1/2 turn after closed And the piston and and piston sleeve same as dynamite .28 RTR

Love your videos buddy. You’re so knowledgeable about these engines, but I love how you explain everything in a way even new people can understand. That’s what the hobby needs. Good stuff man, almost got one of these for a Losi LST but got a novarossi .28 for 189$ US dollars before they were gone. Nice review, take care buddy

I also modified the back plate for the hpi roto start worked great ....also the back plate on the f4.6 bolts right up to the dynamite .28 rtr engines that come in the losi 8 rtrs good engines ass well I ran the piss out of mine

Nice prep on the new motor all the china stuff comes with barely any lube.

Really enjoy your videos, they always seem so informative while still being entertaining, even myth busting at times, lol. I decided on this Big Red over LRP .32 for my Revo BB conversion and plan to maybe do break in today after work. I understand this video is old but do you recall how this engine treated you? Did carb hold/maintain tune?

28s sound amazing never seen the round head dynamite

I have the big red on my savage. It's a beast!

Mine didn't come with the spring. The pull start sucks though for break-in. Too much pinch for it to handle. Since I don't use the rotostart, I epoxied that metal center piece to the spool. Those locking cam things will otherwise round the plastic teeth in the spool they grab onto and will eventually slip. Maybe it's sufficient once broken in but unless you're really good about preheating it, the break in pinch will do it in.

Those dynamite big red .28 engines are awesome. They have a lot of power. You need to get a big block kit and put it on the tmaxx

I prefer the Kevin Talibot break in method 👌🏻

The great thing about Traxxas’ greed. Is that you can always tell wether their website is legit or not. If it’s overpriced shit as always you know it’s Traxxas. But if it’s 20-90% off you know the website is scuffed 😂

Is the big red the same as the lrp.28 spec 4? I’ve heard the new lrp motors are not as good as they were awhile back. Know if there is any truth to that?

Hey I've been eyeing a certain "SH .12 pro" engine with a rear exhaust setup, was thinking about getting it for my cheapo HSP drift car. Thoughts on this engine?;

Question I stripped a thread on my lrp .32 crankcase head to crankcase bolt any recommendations 3 of the 4 are good 1 is trashed thanks

Could you do a vid of fitting to a traxxas tmax or revvo

I'm kind if new to nitro, been thinking of getting this motor one question can the carb be turned 180° I m putting in revo

I have the dynamite big red engine on my Revo. Anytime I buy a new engine I like it go ahead and buy a new piston and sleeve and connecting rod just to have around. However the kind of pricey and I was just wondering if there were any sh part numbers that you knew of that would work in this big red engine. I've already bought a piston and sleeve Dynamite brand I haven't found a connecting rod yet. I was hoping that I could find an sh connecting rod that would work and it would be about half of the price. If you know of any interchanges that will work for the business leave Rod crank bearings or anything like that cuz you please let me know. I will try to leave you a personal message with my email in it if I can figure out how to do it thank you

Would you say this motor is a good option for 4.6 savage? And lol just snapped rod because my dumb ass stared motor in -27 ….

Hi, what diameter is the crankshaft?

Can I use a sh 28 crankshaft in my losi 454?

Would you buy a "like new". Pre run dynamite .19 for $75.

Team associated. 28 pro vs this big red ???

There is 1 true nitro engine... 500 cubic inch, 11,000hp nitro burnin hemi in a top fuel or funny car!

What plug runs in that motor

I have one of these BIG RED ENGINES. What procedure do you use to break in an AWSOME engine like that? I'm not looking for the quickest way to break it in, BUT THE BEST WAY. Please and thank you.
