I did the exact thing as you snopyy, i have an evo7 that is red, and upgraded the engine to a 2.6, which runs for about two minutes-the car has no mods, have you installed the engine correctly? make sure the metal tab is in the right position,the shorttutorialshould come with your car manual, maybe the aa batteries in your controllerneed to be replaced, my car ran only for a minute then ran for 2minutes and over when i changed the batteries.
