hey im getting a shockwave as my first nitro (sorta) but i have heard about the lifetime engine swap program where they send you a new motor for half price when the old one wears out? how exactly does this concept work? also, this is kinda off topic for the question being asked, but i have Maxy's pro racing fuel and when that runs out, is it okay to buy a gallon of nitro from a different company like o'donnell racing? like what i mean is different brands of nitro. (and yes i know that the shockwave uses 20% nitro lol.)

oh so i need to pretty much send in the engine, carb, and air filter? thats what it seems like it is saying.

You keep the air filter and mounting hardware, they send you a brand new shiny motor in a nice little box. This is the new motor that they sent me.


It was the tightest motor that I have ever seen. We had to heat it up with a hair dryer and break the seal on the glow plug just to get it started. Otherwise the compresion was so tight you couldn't even pull the starter cord.

But I will say this, now that it is broken in it runs like a bat out of hell.

lol that looks nice!!! so the carb is connector to the engine?

Dragonii

yep, I got the engine, carb, pull start and glow plug. All I had to do was install the clutch/bell and mount it on the car.
