ProTek R/C Blue Flame engine heater

New from ProTek R/C comes the Blue Flame engine heater to effectively pre-heat the critical internal parts of a nitro engine. Pre-heating the engine head and the upper parts of the crankcase results in significantly reduced wear and unnecessary stress when compared to cold starting. The engine’s crankshaft, connecting rod, piston and sleeve all benefit and will last much longer when pre-heated regularly plus the engine’s “pinch” will be reduced which can be beneficial especially for new or rebuild engines. An access port atop the device allows to easily start the engine and monitor temperatures while in use. As a safety measure, a 10-minute timer shuts off the heater automatically. The heater comes pre-wired with a T-type connector and includes a crocodile clamp adapter wire.
