Me figure out what’s wrong...
I have just gotten into the nitro rc hobby and was needing some help on this issue. Every time i start up the engine, it stalls shortly after starting. I constantly have to prime it and sometimes go as far as taking off the filter and putting fuel directly into the carburetor. the longest i’ve...
I've been searching on the internet and have come up empty handed. When i start the engine the clutch dont engage, when i push the throttle. The engines an old 21 magnum made by thunder tiger from the late 80s maybe 90s if youve got any ideas id appreciate them. Some photos of the flywheel and...
I've had this XTM Xcellerator for most of my life but its been sitting for like 10 years. I want to get it running but its not exactly a show piece so I'm open to options. The original xtm .18 I hear is the same as the sh .18 but even then parts are mostly discontinued so rebuilding is starting...
I had the rc car given to me me about 10 -12 years ago. I used it and put it up after like 2 weeks. I found it again and want to get it running. I just don’t know the name or model of the actual car. The the motor says 15 so I looked it up and it’s the size, right? So can I put any 15 motor or...
Hi all,
My Traxxas Jato has given me a bit of trouble since I got it. I have been running nitro for about a year and this is the only one that gives me trouble.
The issue: When the Jato gets warmed up it will do one of two things eventually:
1. It will stall when letting off the throttle after...
I was searching the forums and found someone talking about the Klinik Rc air filter and how they were supposed to be better than the others. I need a new air filter for an engine and figured I should ask around about before potentially purchasing one. Heres what they look like if anyone's...
Hey Nitro R.C. lovers!
Today I bring you guys the "Frankenstein Rustler" which was made out of 2 used cars (Rustler and Jato) and a few new parts..
I wanted it to look different than the regular Rustler (grey upper chassis) and since the Jato's tranny is black I decided to black out as much as...
I flipped my truck and it fell in some mud. I then proceeded to clean the cooling head best i could but i can't take it off since some of it got the 4 screws that hold it down and the idiot that i am i took off the glow plug.now it feels gritty when i turn it over. Its a big red .28 so a piston...
I’ve tried big block but that ended up destroying other components so i figured modding the existing 3.3 engine, I’m forced to run on 16% fuel since anything higher requires license to purchase (which i ofc don’t have)
Many have told about swapping to an os 11k carb, but are there any other...
Hello,
My name is Kevin and I am new to Nitro RC 1/8 Scale Buggy racing. I have a Mugen-Seiki MBX8-R with an OS Samurai R03 Engine (see Photo 1)
Last night I was replacing the clutch bearings and was in the process of reassembling. I accidentally used Loctite (forgot not supposed to on this...
how much horsepower do these engines make?
And what are the differences between 2.5 and 2.5R, some online articles say that the only difference is the blue cooling head but traxxas states that 2.5R makes 0.5 horse power more than the original 2.5, how come?
Q1: What does LSN do, does it effects low rpm or low throttle? if i blip the gas ones (from zero to wide-open quickly, then immediately releasing the trigger) is it HSN or LSN?
Q2: does HSN affects idle?
Q3: the relation between LSN and idle crew, i can affect idle by either leaning the LSN or...
what's your opinion on the traxxas 3.3 engine? power wise? reliability wise? connecting rod failure? What fuel suits the best? And why didn't Traxxas develop a big block instead?
what's your opinion on the traxxas top fuel? really the best fuel as Traxxas advertised? why so high oil content...
Its runs! I hate the lsn (like the ones in the planes ) but it runs nice. I can't get it full throttle as it looks like it isnt engaging the spur fast enough/at all. Very happy my little "project" if it could even be called that. I also used the futaba magnum junior that came with it
The one that comes with it is terrible to say the least. I like the engine but that pull start design is atrocious. I break this pull start so quickly because a metal piece connects to the OWB hex. The metal piece strips the plastic pull start. This is the engine in case anyone's wondering...
Even though they have all the signs that its just right ( or slightly rich ). I need reassurance that I'm not the only one who thinks of this constantly
