Dynamite makes GREAT engines, imho... Affordable and reliable... all you have to do is take care of it properly. When I raced my RC10GT in the mid 90's, I had a Dynamite "TNT12" in it and had no problem getting on the podium, right next to the OS CZ-Z and Yokomos. Currently restoring an old Losi GTX with a PD12 ("hopped up" by Ron Paris version of the TNT12), and that's a sharp looking motor! Red annodized head with a black painted crankcase... That said, I have an old Savage 25 that was donated to me years ago.. Looks brand new, practically (it is, really...).. Anyway, the engine was "stolen" out of it and I think if I can find a Big Red on the cheap, it's gonna be a go!
I agree! These budget engines are actually really good as long as they are broken in properly and tuned right. As you can see the Big Red is a great drop in engine for a Savage, you won’t regret it!
Glad you like it! With the Big Red having so much bottom end torque it’ll still lift the front end with ease even when it’s geared so high. Makes it a damn rocket lol
@@mojarnuggetGlad you like it 👍🏼 I don’t have a link but the part # is HPI 102093, you can get them on eBay. It’s hardened steel so make sure your clutch bell is hardened steel as well.
I had to source them from eBay. The spur gear is easy to find but the 20t CB is kinda rare but you can always get the 19t CB as that one is more common.
@@Dirty263 I don’t have those part #s but if you Google it or search it on eBay they should come up. I’m running VP now, it’s what I ran many years ago before Bones was out so I was happy to make the switch back.
I used to believe the low tank lean happening . But that just ain’t true There is no such thing as a half tank lean situation unless the tank is broken. Doesn’t sound lean to me. Sounds great on point
