Compact Rear-Exhaust Motor for Heavy-Duty Trucking

The O.S. Engine OS-13970 30 VG(P)-X is crafted for monster truck duty, combining a recoil starter with a pilot-type crankshaft so starts are easy and running characteristics are repeatable across sessions.

Performance Figures and RPM Flexibility

This unit features a 0.298 cu in (5.0cc) displacement and a power rating of 3.0 ps at 28,000 RPM, delivering brisk acceleration and a practical RPM band from 4,000 up to 36,000. The rear exhaust layout supports effective power flow and neat chassis packaging.

Sturdy Build for Aggressive Use

Designed with a hardwearing crankcase and reinforced mounting ears, the OS-13970 30 VG(P)-X holds up to heavy impacts and rough driving. The supplied #8 glow plug and air filter help sustain clean combustion while the 14.4 oz (408 g) weight keeps the truck responsive.

The O.S. Engine OS-13970 30 VG(P)-X is a reliable rear exhaust option that balances robust performance with straightforward installation for large-scale RC trucks.

Verify mount alignment, confirm the 1/4-28 crankshaft fit, and check for sufficient exhaust clearance before final installation.
It comes with core components like the glow plug and air filter, but you will need fuel, a tank, and ignition gear to run the engine.
Common spares such as glow plugs and filters are widely available; for engine-specific parts check specialist suppliers that stock O.S. Engine components.
It suits aggressive driving and competition where rapid throttle response and a wide rev band are required, provided setup and cooling are correct.
