Horizon Hobby have introduced the new Dynamite 12VDC nitro engine heater for .19 to .32 engines. The device will properly pre-heat the engine to 60°C to 70˚C in approximately ten minutes based on ambient temperatures. It helps to relieve the stress on the crank, connecting rod, piston and sleeve during warm-up. It will also help provide a smooth engine start, with reduced stress on the starter box. Fuel consumption will be reduced, as pilots do not have to spend time and fuel warming up and adjusting the engine. Additionally, a pre-heater glow-plug will increase the life of the plug. It is also perfect for break-in, as it reduces the pinch on a new engine.
