[bifft it]

Hahahah ohhh i gotcha. Nice lookin rigs man. I'm waiting for the weather to clear up, itll b time to run mine and upgrade!

At one time i had 12+ rc cars. turned to be a very expensive hobby at one time. I'm down to those 2 nitro savages and a tekin powered flux ( currently has issues) my my true lust lies in the background of the pic of both nitro savages

Damn those are nice. Why the wire ties on the motor? Is that not one piece?

Early Trojan man!....

One, and only one, particular motor i run below 0 degrees. it has been a very faithful motor i bought off epig(ebay) it was so gummed up when i recieved it none of the rotating parts would even turn and i thought it to be a "lost cause".
after a few days of soaking and scrubbing to remove the "gum" it turns out i got a very nice engine with very few runs. he is my cold weather fellow. he never lets me down even at temps below -20 (its completely wrapped with a rag and aluminum foil at those temps) my OS30Vg is a cold weather runner!

Nice ,not all used engines are bad ,some people just fail to tune them from break in ,an give up on them!
I've gotten several engines that way ,an are still like new!...

The last time I bought a package of them I asked the girl at the counter where the fitting room was. I'm not allowed in Walmart any more.

I'm looking at the pics on a cell phone so I can't tell what it is... Is that a scale or is it a 1:1 evo? What is it going in?

The S&S motor in the background looks puny compared to the trucks

Lol! Yes, I was asking about the engine. An evo (block head) Harley engine. Is it full scale or is it part of an rc or other kit?

The savage looks sharp!

Tried to upload videos and pics... it eont work. Just goes back and says no files chosen. About given up on my nitro, i reset the highspeed low speed to factory. Set the carb back qhere its supposed to be. Checked the glow plug and bled the lines in case it eas flooded. Just wont start. Maybe when the new glow plugs get here. Maybe then itll start :/

take the glowplug out the motor and use a needlenose to put it in the glow-starter to check if both are working. If the coil lows bright, both are good to go

thats fine.
my fingers and hands have been burned, jabbed stabbed, hogged off, electrocuted, scrapped , scratched, gouged glued nailed screwed and smashed. they surely could stand for me to abuse them less
PLUS my fat sausage fingers dont hold a glowplug very well thank you very much.
I will keep using my pliers
