nitro engine

At least I believe so. The pull start doesn't catch and I've already cleaned it plus looks like this

I just got my first nitro rc 3 days ago (it's a HSP nitro rc monster truck 1:10 second hand) (with a SH 18 engine) and it basically looks new and is visually in great condition. Tho i haven't been able to start it yet (according to the previous owner he last started it in December and it should...

I've never really bought a new nitro rc engine, but I would like to upgrade my Revo 2.5 that is on a 3.3 chassis to a big block as the extra power just sounds nice. I know I will need a conversion kit, but what I'm not sure about is the engine I want to choose. Every thread I've found off google...

Hey All, So I'm working on my nitro I got for X-Mas, don't know what brand it was but the engine is a VX-18. It was running pretty decently for a while, then I had a kind of rough crash, it was bad enough to snap a wheel stub axle and I *think* it broke the clutch shoe spring. (the damage to...

So, i just got my Kyosho inferno neo 3.0 and the closest shop with fuel only has the Nitrolux Energi 2 Off road, 16% by weight and 12% volume percent. ( https://modelixracing.com/en/18393-nitrolux-energy2-off-road-16-by-weight-eu-no-licence-1-l.html ). I've watched videos and done som reading...

I've recently done a bb swap on my Revo 3.3. But i found the new engine extremely hard to tune. it can't hit the second gear without running lean and bog down, the engine won't idle, runs very unstable. And the power was way worst than my previous engine all though being a big block with 4...

I can't prime my engine by blocking the exhaust. But I did it with no problem when blowing through the exhaust outlet or the back pressure tube. When i crank the engine over one time (with the exhaust blocked trying to prime it) i can see the fuel in the line moving forward (by forward i mean 1...

Do you guys know any place that can tune my t maxx 3.3 here in houston tx?

I've been bashing around with nitro mt for quite some time now, and want to move into racing. just want something cheap and nice to beginn with:)

mod or upgrade that improves power and handling were in count as well:)

I'm running a stock revo 3.3 with optimix 16% fuel I'm running my engine relatively rich and a whole bunch of blue smoke is visible during the acceleration, so i assume that everything should be theoretically fine apart from the fact that the temp was at 280f, i tried richening the needles but...

the manual said that the slide valve should be set so that it has a 0.7 - 1.0 mm gap, but that's just kinda unclear for me, i want to know by how many turns out from completely closed (idle set screw) thks

helo;) Q1: how do i know if my nitro engine needs a rebuild? Q2: should i purchase a brand new engine or only the piston and sleeve set (Traxxas for example) thks for the hlp!

Hello, I started working on this thread a month ago but got caught up in life and waiting on parts. Now its time to share, Sorry for the mess your about to read. I recently got back into Nitro after years away from it/missing it and I'm rebuilding my trucks. I just rebuilt my SavageXL with a...

First time starting my revo today, but the engine keeps getting stuck as I’m trying to free it up by the flywheel with a screwdriver, but the engine just never wants to start. Plus that the EZ start motor starts smoking, I really dunno what to do😭 I've tried heating up the engine but no work:(

I’m running a stock 3.3 engine, and I’m switching to 16% fuel, question is, should I use a different plug to adapt to the new fuel I will be using? (Currently running stock plug and worked perfectly on 20%) thx

Q1: is it worth purchasing 20 or 25% nitro in Europe when u need a license for it? Q2: I'm running a stock 3,3 engine and wanna know if switching from 20% to 16% really is a night and day difference? Q3: Will fuel with a lower nitro content decreases the life of the engine? Q4: I'm into buying...

i have a hpi savage x 4.6 nitro and i want to install a kill switch for safety, i recently hand a run away and no fail safe (sorry I'm a n00b) so now i got a new remote coming with a failsafe and i also want a kill switch, i would prefer a kill switch that also shuts off the engine when battery...

I have a Pro 15 engine that dies as soon as I remove the glow starter. Most threads seem to mention the plug though I have a new one and it still dies. I am using an N4 plug, is this the correct one or is there something else I should try? The car runs fine with the starter in. Thanks in...

Disclaimer! I'm not saying or claiming to be an expert I want to see if I'm right about the things that I've been studying about within the last 2 months. The video I am representing is showing guesses of what I believe to be true in terms of shooting the high-speed exclusively for performance...
