Dynamite Big Red .28 nitro engine a look in side.

[@Thedudeabides803]

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.

[@thebug4046]

Yeah there's a lot of weirdos I have a fetish with my fingernails for some reason. and I have to grow them slightly longer because they're always cracking on the end and I try to grow out the cracks.

[@CtrlAltFumble]

I bought one, after watching your review about it.

[@williamkeeling3481]

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

[@thebug4046]

They are a good engine for sure!

[@bryanbaker6767]

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

[@brandont65]

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

[@thebug4046]

Grab one they are really good

[@FullPayGaming]

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?

[@thebug4046]

Hey man thanks for watching I appreciate it and honestly obviously it's a really easy starting tuning engine I will suggest that you do preheat it because it's very tight. Wrap the cylinder head in foil to hold heat over 200°f

[@eliasbeas3556]

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

[@jeremywilliamsrc8797]

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

[@wesdex04]

Im mad at myself for not grabbing a 28-8 from Absolute hobbyz when they had a bunch of them. I will say the mach engines are awesome. I have almost a dozen mach.26 and 427 and the .28. I honestly love SH engines. The sh 28 p8 is actually wicked. They have them back in stock at Amain

[@thebug4046]

Thanks for the kind words man and I try to keep it right to the point and as real as possible there's just so many stupid videos out there a lack of information

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

[@davelowets]

@@thebug4046 Yep. One of the O.G. .28's.

[@peterjemas7613]

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.

[@thebug4046]

I noticed! This engine is going bump and it's gunna get a lot of heat

[@joesti7607]

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?

All made by SH same factory basically the same shit

What’s the difference between this and the dynamite .28?

Different manufacturers. The 28RTR is a force 28 the big red is an SH 28

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

Not gunna happen. as no one around here wants to bother because it's to expensive to upgrade absolutely everything to make it work

[@SliverRc]

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.

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

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

[@thebug4046]

You need all 4 screws or or it will leak and never run properly. Just like a normal car engine you can't have missing head bolts. You will have to order a new block

[@christianjohansson7503]

Hi, what diameter is the crankshaft?

[@thebug4046]

I think it's 14mm I can't remember at the moment but if you have the engine you can take your crank out and mike it

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

[@thebug4046]

As you know dynamite is made by SH so a lot of the part numbers are interchangeable I don't know all of them off the top of my head but most 28 parts of the port number is the same they should be fine

[@ggv69340]

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

[@thebug4046]

Big red is a more powerful engine. Different porting and more ports. The ae 28 is a 3 port engine nothing wrong with that just not as high strung as the big red

Dynamite big red 28 and losi 454 are basically the same engine so yes

[@duanemaddox4419]

@thebug 404 I went an even cheaper route... I know it's a trial thing and I'll check timing when it comes in but I found a redcat sh .28 crankshaft on sale for under $10. So we will see? I know they run a 3 port... but the crank appears to be the same. They don't post any specs and I did see on a bearing site that it could be a 14mm shaft instead of 13. So we will do some inspections on arrival.

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.

[@thebug4046]

There is no real quick way. It takes time! Preheat and idil for 4 or 5 tanks with some foil around the cylinder head to help keep the temperature over 200°f then basically takes it easy for a quart of fuel making adjustments as needed they do take about half a gallon to really brake in all the way but don't be afraid to drive it it's basically a longer version of the Adam drake method burn at least a qt before you go full tuned you will notice it will keep getting better as you go
