Kyosho us sports buggy

[tonyk]

Hey guys, First post on this site, so my first r/c car is a Traxxas nitro rustler and I just bought a Kyosho buggy and i'm trying get the big .28 broke in. After getting skin graphs on my hands from trying to pull start this thing, I bought a kyosho 2.0 starter box and use 2 1800 baterry packs which seem to wear out kind of quickly from having to rebump start it because it will only run for a minute or two. I only have the traxxas to compare it to, but I do remember the traxxas running full tanks right out of the box. If anybody is familiar with this model (Inferno us sports RTR) any info on your break-in /set-up would greatly be appreciated. I'm in Minnesota it's winter with about 3 feet of snow I got nothing better to do! THANKS

if its to cold out it may not want to run.. I myself would never try and break in a motor in super cold ambient air temps. The motor is supposed to cool off gradually.jmo but if you are that determined to run it try wrapping the head in a sock or switching to a hotter plug..

Defenitly NOT driving the buggy outside, but in heated, ventilated garage on a stand. Simply trying to break the motor in, i'm using a odonnel 100 glow plug.Thanks

try something like this seems like you need a hotter plug. Not familiar with a 100 plu but if its that cold you need a HOT plug
