Was hopeing would any know can you buy hopups for this like the suspension arms

[@victorbell6024]

Nice. I built this car up from the magazines to. Mine lay in the rain outside for 10 years and I brought it and left it for 5 years in a cupboard. Got it fired up today for the very first time. Unreal

[@HaggardRC]

Did you watch this and that made you get it out and fire it up or did you fire it up and then decide to search for videos on it lol.

[@victorbell6024]

@Haggard RC I got it out and fired it up out of interest to see what would happen. Then I had tuning issues and KZbin it and that's how I found this video.

[@HaggardRC]

Oh sweet!

[@desmondtaylor5778]

You better swallow that jelly

[@kucharz07]

[@tezy0193]

[@deenunya7735]

Would a quick sniff of Easy Start fire up a Nitro Engine just to test it starts ?

[@HaggardRC]

Yep no problem at all!

[@lyndonwebber1389]

My van got addicted, in the end it went to a rehab 😵‍💫😂

[@bowi73]

[@bowi73]

on the bottum side frond right 4:50

[@itsalexplayz2782]

Hahah the exhaust and the engine rattles itself loose you will need to loctite it 😂. Also bloody hell 25% is too much for it! 16% only 😂😂😂

[@rcsendandblast1579]

Why is 16 percent nitro to much. Today there is so much oil in the fuel. I’m sure it’s a shim thing to change for different fuels. Am I right is it not that when shimming for the difference in fuels. You add a .2 mm shim if you go up in Nitro content from 20 to 30 % there should be a .2 mm shim added to the first one. Then again if you wanted to run 0 nitro it’s possible by removing the shim and adding a thinner one by a factor of roughly half the size of the stock shim. Then a lower grade nitro can be used and ran somewhat in line to what it should do 0 nitro no power 10% nitro a little punch 20% nitro regular grade 30% nitro hotter burning fuel = more power 🤘😎

[@itsalexplayz2782]

16% is the fuel it is rated to run on… I’d rather not risk a heat seized engine (remember this is only a .12 engine) for the sake of a bit of extra gumption. Up to you what you use tho… Sounds like you know way more than me ;)

[@rcsendandblast1579]

@@itsalexplayz2782 I have only been running nitro engines for about 2 years tops. Where I live stock settings are lean because it’s always humid here. If I didn’t learn how to keep a decent temp and tune the engines here would all overheat badly and die. But know more than you no bro I’m only in it for the fun. Have a happy day bud and thanks for responding. Ya my first Rc was the Rc10GT with a .12 OS engine 🤘😎

[@ggwoods5684]

Pure ten alpha

[@itsalexplayz2782]

Yeah I love my Pureten alpha 2

[@rcsendandblast1579]

Pls do not leave fuel soaked towels laying in a ball in the corner there is always that slim chance static from dry or some conditions May and can cause combustion of the fuel And we’ve all seen nitro flames they’re hard to see in the daytime. Safety first bro we all want to see your channel for years to come. 😍🤘😎 I wish I had the nitros you got there. 🤭🤤
