Default engine swap program?

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.)

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.

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.
