stee3 Member 194 Member For: 13y 2m 26d Posted 12/01/13 11:03 PM Share Posted 12/01/13 11:03 PM Some engines last others have problems. I was going to get an atomic engine but ended up building my own engine. For half the cost I built a stronger engine than the 998 with a much better rotating assembly including better rods and pistons. I did use some atomic parts in my engine and had a few issues with them. Check DLM mate I've never actually use them but they look like they know what they are doing. From the looks of there engines they no longer use atomic internals, they use Nitto rods and pistons like I have in my engine which are lighter, stronger and designed better. Atomic are not that bad but have dropped on their game in the last few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
