Owner's Manual
Congratulations on your purchase of a Dynamite
Platinum Series (DPS
™
) .18 racing engine! Precision
manufactured and assembled, your DPS .18 will
provide you with trouble-free performance if you read
and follow these instructions.
Using the Proper Fuel and Glow Plug
Using the proper fuel and glow plug is critical in order
to achieve maximum performance and reliability.
You must use fuel, glow plugs and air filters that
are specifically designed for model car/truck/buggy
applications.
Never use any type of model airplane
glow fuel!
Use of model airplane fuel can damage
your engine and immediately void any warranty.
We recommend using Dynamite Blue Thunder
Race Formula fuel with 20% nitro, providing the
best combination of power and fuel economy.
Dynamite Blue Thunder fuels are vigorously tested,
researched and formulated to deliver excellent power
as well as engine protection.
A glow plug has been included and is ideal for
breaking in your new engine. In fact, during the
break-in procedure, it is not uncommon to go through
one or two glow plugs, as microscopic bits of metal
(from the cylinder/piston wearing in) bond themselves
to the plug element causing glow plug failure. We
recommend the Dynamite McCoy MC59 Glow Plug
(DYN2508) as the absolute best glow plug for this
engine. The MC59 Plug has been designed to deliver
an ideal balance of performance and longevity.
All car engines must use a properly oiled air filter to
keep dirt out of the engine. Any dirt that enters the
carburetor can immediately destroy your engine. We
recommend DYN2612 as an excellent choice for a
quality air cleaner.
Carburetor Adjustments
Your DPS .18 engine comes equipped with a precision
rotary carburetor. Take a moment to review the pictures
below to familiarize yourself with the various functions
of the carb. Loosening the nut located on the side of the
crankcase under the carburetor body will allow you to
rotate the carburetor. Make certain to mount the throttle
arm to the side required by your particular vehicle.

Needle Settings
We suggest the following settings for breaking in
your engine:
High-Speed Needle: 2 turns out (counterclockwise)
Low-Speed Needle: 1 turn out (counterclockwise) from
When checking the adjustment of the low-
speed needle, it is crucial that the throttle
slide is closed completely when turning the
needle and that you do not over-tighten the
needle. Use an engine tuning screwdriver to
make this job easier. When you feel resistance
in the needle, immediately stop turning and
begin turning the needles counterclockwise,
counting the number of turns from "closed."

Starting Your Engine
for the First Time
The first start of your engine is the most critical time
of the engine' s life, dictating how well it will perform.
After installing the engine in your model and inserting
the glow plug, turn on your radio system and attach
a glow igniter to the glow plug. Place your vehicle on

top of your starter box and engage the flywheel to your
Adjustment
starter wheel. Should the engine become difficult for
your starter box to turn over, the engine may be flooded
(hydro-locked). Excess fuel between the cylinder head
Low-Speed
Needle Valve
and piston will not allow the piston to travel through
its full range of compression, effectively "locking up"
the engine. Should this occur, immediately remove the
glow igniter from the plug. Using a glow plug wrench
(DYN2510), remove the glow plug and turn the model
upside down and rotate the flywheel to clear out the
fuel, re-install the glow plug and start again.
Slower Idle
We recommend using the DYNP5300 Quick-Fire
(counterclockwise)
Universal Starter Box to start your DPS .18. You may
need to "blip" the throttle on the transmitter (applying
throttle on/off) while trying to start the engine, as
new engines are more difficult to start due to the tight
piston/cylinder fit.
Never start an engine above 1⁄4 throttle.
Immediate damage to your engine can
and will occur.
When the engine starts, the exhaust should emit lots
of blue/white smoke, indicating that the engine is
from closed.

the first tank of fuel, you may wish to set a higher than

normal idle speed and/or leave the glow plug igniter
attached in order to keep the engine from stalling.
Drive your vehicle around while "blipping" the throttle
and avoid operating the engine at full throttle for
more than 2–3 seconds at a time. Consume the entire
first two tanks of fuel in this manner. After the first two
tanks of fuel, begin leaning out the high-speed needle
valve 1/8 turn at a time. It generally takes about 5
or 6 tanks of fuel before you'd want to start tuning
for "maximum" power.
Do not skip this process of breaking in a new
engine! Should you choose not to follow these
procedures, you risk damaging your engine
during the first tank of fuel.
Your patience during these procedures will be rewarded
by an engine that performs reliably and to its maximum
power potential. First run attempts can be more
frustrating than with other (less powerful) sport engines,
so take your time—it will be worth the wait. Glow
plug failure is a common occurrence when breaking
in a new engine. To test your plug, let the engine idle
at a properly adjusted low-speed needle setting with
the glow igniter attached. Then, remove the igniter. If
you hear no appreciable change in engine rpm, the
plug is still good. If the engine loads up and the rpm' s
decrease, it' s time to replace the glow plug.
