High RPM Rear Exhaust Performance for Monster Trucks

The O.S. Engine OS-13970 30 VG(P)-X brings dependable, high rev performance to monster truck builds. Its recoil starter and pilot-type crankshaft make starting straightforward while providing stable running for both competitive events and weekend bashing.

Compact Engineering with Measured Output

This engine houses a 0.298 cubic inch (5.0cc) displacement and produces 3.0 ps at 28,000 RPM, giving rapid acceleration and a usable RPM window from 4,000 to 36,000. The rear exhaust configuration helps concentrate power delivery and simplifies installation in tighter chassis layouts.

Durable Construction for Rough Use

Built with a rugged crankcase and reinforced mounting ears, the OS-13970 30 VG(P)-X is designed to withstand demanding runs. It includes a #8 glow plug and a practical air filter to support consistent combustion, while the 14.4 ounce (408 gram) weight balances durability with handling requirements on rough tracks.

  • Displacement: 0.298 cu in (5.0cc)
  • Bore: 0.728" (18.5mm)
  • Stroke: 0.717" (18.2mm)
  • Practical RPM: 4,000-36,000
  • Power Output: 3.0 ps/28,000 RPM
  • Weight: 14.4oz (408g)
  • Crankshaft Size: 1/4-28

For RC drivers who need a robust rear exhaust option, the O.S. Engine OS-13970 30 VG(P)-X balances punch and reliability to perform across rough courses and heavy use scenarios.

It can be used by newcomers but expect a learning curve. Basic tuning and fuel handling knowledge will help get reliable starts and steady idle.
Use standard nitro model fuel recommended for glow engines and follow the fuel maker's oil content guidance. High-quality nitro fuel improves throttle response and cooling.
Inspect and clean the air filter after each session and check the glow plug regularly. Periodic disassembly for cleaning and bearing checks will extend service life.
It is optimised for monster trucks but can work in other large RC rigs if the mount pattern, weight and 1/4-28 crankshaft match the vehicle requirements.
