The new Competition Heat "Deuce" 12 volt engine heater is proving to be an essential tool for serious racers and educated engine owners world wide.
Used and endorsed by Adam Drake as well as many other top pro racers including Ryan Maifield and Cody King, the Competition Heat uses the same technology as the tyre warmers you see in Formula 1. The Competition Heat engine warmer will bring your engine close to race temperatures in approx 5 - 10 min (depending on ambient conditions).
Using the Competition Heat engine warmer has a multitude of advantages such as:
Greatly reduces wear on your engines internals caused by cold starting (especially over winter months when the ambient temperatures make it harder to get heat into your motor).
Easier tuning, more on track power straight out of the pits, more consistant performance throughout the length of the race.
Fantastic for breaking in new engines, which require significant heating prior to starting to reduce the engine damaging pinch that new motors possess. Using the Competition Heat will ensure the minimum strain on new engine parts during break in whether you use the in-car method or a break in bench system.
The unit will pay for itself over time due to zero time spent burning fuel on the starter box in the pits trying to warm your engine up to race temps (which you can never actually achieve), or by doing lap after lap of the pit area trying to bring the motor up to temp - all the while putting wear and strain on your motor by running it cold.
Your motors will last longer and most likely require less maintainence due to no more cold starting and running.
For the serious racer it's a no brainer. Same for the RC enthusiast who likes to look after his motors and get good performance and longevity from his equipment - it just makes sense to use a product like the Competition Heat.

Here is what Adam Drake had to say about the 12 v Competition Heat unit on RedRC.net
"I’ve been using the Competition Heater for just over a year now. It makes engine break-in easier, but it also increases your engines performance and life. The products from Competition Heat are amazing and I’m proud to have them as a sponsor for 2011"
Key Features
Normally operated from an 11.1v 3S 5000mah or larger capacity Lipo battery pack for portability and the most effective heat saturation. The new model "Deuce" heaters we are stocking can safely operate on a fully charged 3S Lipo putting out 12.6v initial voltage after charging.
Can be operated from a 12v 7A gel cell - monitoring of the battery voltage is required as the heating element is designed to work at no more than 12.6 v. A fully charged gel cell can peak at well over 13v.
Can be operated from a 230v - 12v DC adjustable power supply, set to 11.5 v at the output leads.
Cannot be operated from an automotive battery without some form of voltage regulator in the supply line.
Power cord comes with a Deans Ultra plug for quick, easy, secure connection with your power source.
New fire proof and heat resistant adjustable cover with embroidered logo.
Fits all .21, .23 and .25 RC nitro engines.
Very small, lightweight and compact for easy storage.
The heating element is used in both the aerospace and racing industries. It's deseigned to transfer heat effectively and efficiently.
Access port on top allows you to start and monitor your engines temperatures without having to take the heater off.
The Competition Heat engine heater was designed with saftey as our priority. We use NO METAL PARTS.
Heating element is moisture and chemical resistant.
The Competition Heat 12v engine heater makes starting and tuning easy.
Eliminates unneccessary wear and stress on critical engine components which can lead to premature engine failures.
Saves fuel. No more starting your engine to warm it up.
Most importantly, it will pay for itself by increasing engine life and performance.
The Competition Heat unit comes with comprehensive instructions.
