Seanp / 3rd October 2022

No, this is to big for that car.

Si @ Wheelspin Models

Is there a rotostart component available for this?

Sami / 28th December 2021

Yes, DYN6034 is the replacement pull/spin starter

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

I will this be a direct fit to a thunder tiger mta s28 or there needed for extra part?

Marcel / 16th August 2021

Not one I've tried personally but these are a standard size and fitment engine so yes I believe that should work

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

Hi, would the Dynamite Mach .28 Monster Engine with Pull/Spin Start Combo fit into the Hobao Hyper VS 21? Thanks

Dan / 28th May 2021

Yes I'd imagine that should fit, these are standard fitment

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

What clutch and bell housing will I need

What Clutch And Bell Hosing Will I Need For A / 15th May 2021

Most 1:8 clutch bells/flywheels will fit onto these no problem ,it just depends what car you have?

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

Hi, are there specific clutch and fly wheel combinations on each engine or are there just generic ones depending on the engine size?

Mr Dean Hummerstone / 30th January 2021

They are usually fairly generic - but they are car specific rather than engine specific

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

Will this fit a kyosho mad crusher?

Chris / 7th October 2020

I'm pretty sure the mad crusher takes standard size big block engine (not currently in stock so I can't confirm 100%) - but yes, that should fit

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

Will this fit in a t maxx 3.3 thanks

Clive / 1st September 2020

No, you'd need a TRX5407 for that

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

dynamite mach.28 engine,is this a snug fit losi aftershock?hope so, regards,colin.

Colin Doyle / 29th June 2020

Yes that should fit

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

Would this engine be a drop in replacement into a HPI Trophy 3.5 buggy ? (I am looking for a engine that is a bit more powerful than the stock .21)

Max Rackstraw / 31st January 2020

Yes that should fit and work well

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

How to convert the Big red .28 Mach 2 dynamite engine from a pull start to the spin start?

Antolin Daga / 26th October 2018

This engine already comes with a pullstart/spin start combo fitted - so you can use either.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

What type of glow plug does this engine use?

Cliff Sims / 26th September 2018

Standard plug (non turbo). Something like the HPI-1504 R5 would be ideal.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

Does this engine use normal or turbo glow plugs?

Cliff Sims / 25th September 2018

Standard plugs.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

Will this fit into a savage xl ? Thanks in advanced

Drew / 3rd March 2017

Yes that would fit a Savage XL.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

Would this be compatible with a revo 3.3 ? And is it more powerful and reliable than the original traxxas motor?

Jason Sprenger / 24th October 2016

It would fit with the TRX5360X big block conversion, but no it wouldn't be a direct drop in replacement.

It would probably give more power than the stock TRX 3.3
