Nice video pal 😄 thr greyhounds had fun 😅 that looks like a frcent spot, im just over on Barnsley, so presime pretty close ?

excellent 😂 the standard 2s isn't enough to keep up with a greyhound 💨💨

Sickkkkk

Start out really rich on both Needles. .5 mm on idle gap. Get engine warmed up before adjusting high speed 1st 1hr at a time in till it has good speed then adjust low speed same way and that'll get you in the ball park .then fine Tune from there. You need a temp gun and basics of How the Engine works 1st before you do anything. Read up on the engine you have and what Nitro percentages to run .but used Engine's can be mis treated before you get Them and that's the problem with used Engine's .if you don't see snoke its lean and will run hot and lose Power and destroy Engine. . Hope that helps 👊

Do they still sell Orion Nitro the green stuff? Thats all my HPI would run clean on i remember try Orion mix hpi are very fussy to run on anything else could jaut be wrong fuel! Well it is its to blue the smoke!

Flip it upside-down when get a runaway stall it older HPIs done that alot i remember had to quickly flip it to cut it out, never leave the stsrter plugs on HPI coils longer than 10 seconds they will cook the coils in glow plugs very easily! Like a rule we had back in the day!

Running bit rich alot blue smoke there, or piston rings cooked! Don't think its the right mixture for HPI shouldn't be running so blue like just to low end fuel running to rich! Hpis were a nightmare for running Nitro was only Orion Green it used to run good on!

I've still got my HpI RS4 from 2001 on old e36 shell and the Tamiya focus RS same as on your shelf both used to race together bit the focus got abandoned for nitro back then! I've grown out them now but still watch video's now and again but am very interested in a Trophy truck just now lol i might end up getting one but no place to go with it around here that's the only thing! Your running abit rich with blue smoke

That looks sick pal niceee

Always wanted one of these myself, but they hold their price well in the UK. From the other videos I have seen, you need to lower the COG centre of gravity. Brass add on weights on the axels, wheels, diffs.

Beast that pal 👍

I recon you cooked that other car, it was far to weak or lean haha. Poor thing, you got your 10mins of fun though lol.

that thing is ace!!! LOOOOOOOL

50 quid! What a deal...

The struggle is real, once tuned properly you have about 2 tanks before it will need tuning again! lol

I'm not into my crawling as much but that thing looks epic dude!

Looks mint that

Thanks bro......I'm going to have the Scatman stuck in my head for weeks now! Lol

You should reset the needles and start again. You should learn how to tune the engines the problem is the tuning and not necessarily the engines. In your on-road car maybe you burned the engine that's why you saw the white steam. Download the manuals from these engines or send an email to the makers of these engines to send you a pdf if you can't find the pdf of the engines. Don't quit. Don't forget that the rc engines because they don't have a computer brain like the cars they need tuning a lot times especially when the weather change. The cars engines have a computer and continuously retune the engines. The hobby rc engines work manually and because they don't have computer to retune automatically you should tune them manually. Don't quit so easily. Disassemble the on-road engine and see if something is cracked or bend i think the on-road engine needs repair or buy a new engine.

I do have electric rc but nitro runs through my blood will always love it the smell and sound electric is plug and play

I have never laughed so freaking hard at a youtube video. Well done!

When i started in RC, 10 year olds were runnning and tuning nitros and it was no big deal. Yall are soft. Heat it, prime it, and if its tuned right and the compression is there it will start right up.

Nitro are for the big boys, all you need is to know basic tuning, its not that hard

3.5 turns from closed, on high and low speed needle, should get you close to factory settings, from there lean out progressively at approx 1/8th to 1/4 turn at a time, as long as it's smoking at full throttle you should be alright. I've bought a few of these in my time and previous owners always forgot about the idle screw, if you're having starting problems turn that an 1/8th clockwise till it starts and idles consistently. Nitro versus electric is a great analogy of trial and error vs. Instant gratification, I say that as a lover of both mind you. Just stumbled across this channel and love the content, don't give up on the nitro just yet, when sorted they make for a very unique bashing experience.

My ts4n is the mitsubishi evo 7 shell..hasnt got a mark or split on it..msy have to put a tamiya shell on it when i convert it to electric

I watched your video to remind myself why i stopped fiddling with these pos's. Yep don't miss them a bit 😆.

Mint

Change the engine

Must have hurt someone's feelings. My comment got deleted. You need to work on your tuning. Its not that hard

This made me laugh buddy!! Keep doing you! Awesome channel and videos! 👍🏼

no you just need basic tuning the car over heated thats the smoke it let out a

The dramatic piano music...lolol. Great vid, man. They're neat engines to learn the basics of an ICE. Can you even get a piston/sleeve for those things anymore? Last time I messed with nitro was a TRX 2.5...LONG time ago. Lipo/brushless is the way.

The small holes in the body never worked well for me as a kid, not enough airflow. Gotta cut a bit window out in front of and behind the engine. Also, a quick easy temp check from back in the day was to spit on the glowplug. It should kind of sit there and boil for a few seconds before evaporating. That thing definitely got hot. Surprised it recovered as well as it did.

I still have a TS-4n... My first and only nitro! I Should'a went brushless at the time! C*nt to tune, ether too rich or too lean

😊 yaaaaaay

Hi mate great video. You reminded me why my nitro car's are in a big box in the shed. Where they belong. Brushless system all the way 👍😆🤣🤣

Might need carb o rings

13:37 wowee wowee wowee woweeee 😂

Been into RC for 20+ years and I still struggle with Nitro. Get them running sweet then 10 minutes later it won't start, or runs perfectly at home testing, take it out with ya mates for a bash and runs like a dog if it even starts. I have 2stroke large scale petrol and Brushless Bashers but still occasionally persist with the nitro because just as you said... When they do work they are such fun 😊

ts4n is fked now lol coz ran new engine to death it bran new engine that needed break in lol noob! leave nitro be! evo rush idle set to open why wants to run away lol

just got to understand all fac or race tune settings i know them all i love nitro now 37 years

nitro always fussy unless aircraft os engines

❤🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭

perfect work!

Can’t wait for a video of it crawling

Looks sick that pal sweet

Was the truck a traxxas xmaxx

Mad as fcuk 😂 quality

Yes yes didn’t last as long as the other we built 🤣
