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.
