The practice engine that comes with it, is not even fast enough to set up the car properly. Why do we want a 2 wheel drive stadium truck engine when we buy an on road racing engine? I like the Plus 2 engine, but not the marketing associated with it. I don't know how many people can pay $500 or more for one .12 engine. Maybe they can sell the off road engine that comes with it and recuperate some of the $. Probably not much though.

yes,
and the cranckshaft is also the same,
but frontbearing and crankcase is another.
they have take the cheaper cranckshaft from the plus 12-3 sct to get more money. i think the aadversed cranckshaft is more expensive to built.
i have write to the german novarossi distrubiutor, to chance the engine in the right one.

Im going to be very very disappointed if the crank is not what was advertised. novarossi is gonna get a very angry letter.

Looks like someone is trying to get some of there money back, I feel sorry for the buyer, he has no clue what he is buying!!!!!!!!!
