It's Been 3 Years Since This Nitro Engine Ran

Today we attempt to start a nitro r/c engine that has sat for 3 years unused; will it fire up? We sure hope so, because we want to nitro bash and drive this 1/8 buggy on the track. Fingers crossed! Do you think the engine will start?

Yes more nitro content! I have been asking for years and hopefully you guys consider doing more if it. I went from brushless to nitro and would never go back. The added realism and tinkering is just so, so much fun and adds a whole new aspect to the hobby!

[@Mesch-87]

I did exactly the opposite and don't think I'll go back, I have enough stuff in my life I already have to tinker with lol

[@mxracingunlimitedltd7784]

i have both lol.. Deff cant beat the convenience of a modern brushless rc car/truck. But i still love the sound and smell of a nitro engine lol. i love it in the 1/8 4wd buggies & i love hearing my T-maxx nitro switching into 2nd gear and pulling up a wheelie bc of it lol... its good fun but still i deff use my electric cars more just bc i can basically.. whether it be convivence, repairs, or just needed tuning on the nitro's that you have to dedicate an hour or two to get some good runs of fuel thru the tank

[@tylersvensson4468]

@@Mesch-87 I disagree takes a few minutes to tune the car and haven’t got to really touch it again all day. Yes you can have issues with the flow plug and the igniter then the pull starter if it has one. But puts a smile on my face when you can race ones with electric theirs no real skill involved other then timing the jumps. But I gotta say electrics are great when your in public areas as nitro just annoys people

[@VintageCR]

don't tell me you still have a few, if not at least 1 brushless hanging around somewhere :) collecting dust. how it should be. haha

Nothing beats nitro Electrics makes me feel like I'm playing with Toys 😂

It is incredible how well this suspension works..Kyosho has superb machines!!

I have it’s 9 electric cousins I got from amain (well my local shop ordered from amain so all the same) and I have not had to deal with shocks - all good, kyosho makes good stuff!

Nothing beats the feeling of driving a nitro car, also sensed that pleasure feeling you had when u said it as if I drove it.

[@michaelgraham2943]

Agree

[@ajkr32]

Loving the nitro content! Was worried the mp9 had been sold! Great to see she’s still alive and can rip in the air and on the track still! Keep up the awesome content amain!

[@tflkwiz594]

I just bought it this afternoon at the Amain hobby store here in Chico.

[@rctrucks2094]

I found a used Traxxas Revo with spare tires, manual, old Traxxas magazine, extra body shells, and two easy start wands for $90. It had the old Trinity pipe, and RPM arms. The guy hadn't even used it before, but purchased it used from someone else. I can tell that someone put serious money into it, while someone else abused it by leaving old fuel in the tank, etc. I have put almost a couple hundred into it including fuel by now because it had the wrong radio, reciever, and some parts were brittle and broke, but it is now incredibly reliable, probably more reliable than a new one. Now I might install a pull start. Anyway, for a Revo I have only payed half of the price of a new one. If you are willing to wrench on your car, then please revive the used ones.

[@donaldtolbert7804]

Nitro Stadium Truck is a must, thanks for sharing.

[@richardbartlett6514]

The nirto and sound makes it more fun

[@caseedwards3017]

I loved that series! Another great video! More nitro content! Great job Brett.

[@lukebaines7785]

Man I love nitro. Slower than brushless, more hassle, more maintenance....but the NOISE! 👍🏻

[@joshuajkoplin]

The SMELL!

[@michaeldorich4485]

This is a great followup to the original series showing why storing your nitro car is so important. I really enjoyed the original series and the car still looks good.

[@rcalltypes8230]

Kyosho’s, Inferno 1/8 scale line. Definitely has proven history.

[@tomk5047]

I remember the first nitro car I ever saw or heard was a Kyosho Burns back in the 90s. That sound will always make me smile.

[@drunowakowski4880]

Nothing sounds better then Nitro RC cars!!😊

[@MattTrump075]

Would love to see more nitro content

[@TheWright1]

Super cool. Would love to see more nitro! Been thinking about getting one.

[@PillPowder]

Please continue the mp9 series i jus recently watched it again and this legend deserves to continue

[@DudesRC]

I have always wanted nitro, especially a 2 speed. Keep rippin the nitro!

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Yeah, the on-road cars with 2-speeds are awesome! This monster truck with a 3-speed is pretty sweet too: www.amainhobbies.com/kyosho-monster-kruiser-nitro-usa1-gp-1-8-readyset-monster-truck-kyo33155/p1306960 -Brett

[@ddrowdy7666]

Of course it will, may be a little "gummy" but just put some fuel in the carb and turn it over a few time, maybe do the same to the glow plug or just use a new plug, add fuel and she will fire right up.

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Yeah baby "smells like horsepower"! Something visceral about nitro, that sound, that smell, electric will never match that! Not surprised she started up so easily - store a Nitro right (burn off fuel, add after run oil) and it will last forever. Great to see some more nitro content, loved the video!👍

[@baggszilla]

I remember that episode it was awesome! Man the RTR rips!

[@MrSneakyGunz]

Brett, do some more Nitro videos. Good show brother.

[@kanenas6007]

I loved this series where this mp9 starred! I think I have seen it a dozens of times and more importantly made me start 1/8 buggy. Maybe think of a follow-up? I think I have now developed much further from the material of the first series and I have more advanced questions and topics I would like to see. Would love to see the follow-up covering more advanced topics like tire selection (this is what troubles me at the moment), setup and setup tools (another big problem there), useful and necessary upgrades, engine tuning and maintenance, race equipment (what to buy, how to pack, what I need to have at the track etc) and so many more. Thanks a lot Brett and Amain crew.

[@rcguygarage]

Brett, nitro RC is like a diesel very hard to kill. It's the tunability you lose and that can make you lose your mind 😜 AMAIN is my GO TO RC STORE for on line purchases 👍💯👊

[@AMain_Hobbies]

True! Our buggy probably needs a better tune but we're just newbs. -Brett

I have a sportwerks mayhem that sat for at least 7-8 years. Put fresh fuel and plug and it literally fired right up, i actually was surprised and it ran like a champ. I still run to this day.

[@TheArtcortez]

The best serious that I've seen on ready to run I have the same car and I did the same thing thanks awesome stuff

[@peterjackson6228]

Hahhahaha oh my goodness what an absolute blast! I have two nitro cars in the loft, I put them up there when my wife told me that she was pregnant 😀 perhaps its time to get them down seeing as how they're now 11, 10 and 8! I wasn't a serious competitor or anything, I just liked driving them, getting them filthy and then stripping them down to clean and service them. The great thing about these was that all this could be done on the dining room table when there wasn't anything worth watching on TV.

[@saaanjilk]

I put hoons on my losi 8ight. Best time ever!

Definitely need to do some more nitro videos.

hey Amain! Happy to see Nitro Content on this channel. I though I was the only nitro based KZbin these days!!

[@hellfire08]

sickening !

[@tflkwiz594]

Hay, I just bought today, this very same buggy (the actual buggy that Brett used in this video series) from the Amain hobby store here in Chico. Should I run it or should I keep it in my office as a work of art. I already have two kyosho buggies, an inferno neo and an mp9 tki4. I'll leave it up to the NWO to decide.

[@NitroMeep3.3]

I just bought 2 Revo 3.3 from your website, along with fuel and some parts. You guys are the best on getting my stuff to me,In Texas.

Heck yeah! Sounds like a whole lot of fun. Congrats! -Brett

It's a SCREAMER😜👍💯

[@shuster1921]

I so miss racing nitro, the last one I built and raced was the JQ buggy when it first came out. Terrible kit, with missing parts and just bad machine work, but made it work and loved every minute of racing it.

[@honklerton732]

man - that dirt field with all those rocks just eats up those RC's... If I used that dirt field in RC I would go through and pick up EVERY rock in there - and then carefully rake the dirt surface out to get the finer rock out - so it's just mostly dirt - and mostly flat. That way the cars don't get chewed up so badly...

If your nitro engine has sat and is all gummed up, simply take out glow plug and put 5 to 10 drops of lacquer thinner in cylinder. Never failed me.

[@mattster197]

3 years is nothing for a nitro engine to sit. If you put afterrun oil inside and pull it a couple times. The only issue you may have is some dried fuel/gelly in the lines or the intake. I would worry more that the electronics no longer functioned as they should.

Could you do a video on how the car held up? I'm thinking about driveline components, i bought the electric bersion of the car and ended up replacing most of the driveline components to the mp 10 very fast since the outdrives got chewed and dogbones and axels are very soft so they bent, other than that i love the car

Honestly, it has few hours of use on it, so it's in pretty good shape. I don't think we've even broken anything on it, other than a few screws backing out. -Brett

Yes!!! Do you happen to know exactly which version of the MP9 that is? They're up to the TKI4 RTR now, but that one is definitely older.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

I believe it's the first version, the "MP9 ReadySet." This one: www.amainhobbies.com/kyosho-inferno-mp9-readyset-1-8-offroad-nitro-buggy-w-syncro-2.4ghz-radio-ke2-kyo31888t1b/p265530 We pulled it out of stock years ago to rob the rx for a customer who couldn't get a new one and the buggy never got fixed. Then it sat in an office for a few years before our nitro series. -Brett

I have an original usa1 with a .05 Max RG engine (i think its from the 90s) but i know for sure hasn't run in 15 or 20 years. This mf started after about 45 seconds on a starter box. Obviously new glowplug and igniter. I sure wish I had a new battery for the electronics. My dad would go nuts seeing that thing run again. Edit: I think that motor also had some work done on it by a shop. Im just trying to remember what i was told about it years ago lol.
