crazy to think that this video series got me into nitro racing...its nice coming back to it and see how much I've done ever since. You guys should make more of these, or an updated version of it.

[@dangrows_za4798]

Great content Brett! Well done AMain for putting some focus on nitro. I'm loving this series, keep up the great content!!!

[@dangrows_za4798]

wanna be sure to consistently get that 7 min fuel stop??/ get the back plate for that engine hehehe

[@arronbaddams6247]

This is honestly my favourite rc series on KZbin at the moment!! Look forward to more

[@tlfbshti364]

MASSIVE missed opportunity for Brett to voice over some nitro sounds for the start of his race XD awesome video guys, this series was great! Brett is one lucky dude!!

[@TheNutzandBoltz]

That was straight up fun. i could feel my breath slowing and my chest tightening then you gave the Jedi newbee speech. I needed that 36 years ago when I was racing my Frog.

[@barrytoddwilkerson7282]

And the Tamiya Hornet, lol

[@adamirish25]

What an amazing facility. I wish we had somewhere like this in the UK. Enjoyed that, thanks.

[@nathandavies2677]

I totally agree!

we do, its called Herts Nitro Model Club

I went to a carpet racing club in Kent and they hated me because I was a beginner. Almost made me quit RC. I’m 14

[@mudpuddle8805]

That was awesome! Super high quality production with input from a pro! I was very impressed.

[@rogerserafin]

Thanks Brent for the videos. It't good to hear and see Kev " The Rev " Jelich doing well; track master builder.

[@masonall5657]

PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER RACE SERIES LIKE THIS, this is actually the best series you have ever made and you should make another.

[@2stroke4me]

Excelent video! I've always raced (always club racing) with keeping those beginner tips in mind. And i've always raced with pullstart engines. Key part is to enjoy the RC hobby!

[@brettcoyle2399]

I believe beginners are most important people in the hobby personally IMHO

[@markscotchford4159]

I think you did brilliantly holding your own and being very modest. Kudos as you would say to you and to CJ for being so modest too. Very impressive and underneath you must be very happy indeed.

[@brookmiller2427]

I wanted to like this video two times👍 I’ve ran nitro for only a year and it is amazing but a lot to learn, the be happy with what your doing advice is perfect for the nitro racer. Last race, B main, flamed on the first turn. Raced up to second for the bump, battled for 14 minutes of a 15 minute main for the bump flamed again one lap to go, finished 4 seconds off the bump, best, funnest race ever. Missed the main 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Sounds like you were really close to bumping up. It's tough to work your way up and put in that work, then have the engine die on you. Nitro really tests your patience sometimes. -Brett

[@charlesbonkley]

I'd say you were a pretty damn good driver. Folks were jealous AF.

[@ajacks8007]

I still love watching this series, super entertaining

[@MikeyGG34]

We used to race at my buddies racetrack about 20 years ago! Lol Some of the tricks we learned the hard way: we used finger nail polish for the screws that went into plastic parts and for lock tight screws and nuts. It keeps them from backing out from vibration. Then we siliconed our carbs,carb to engine,nipples and all,and theard taped the air fuel mix screws,no more leaning out from air leaks.We hosed clamped our exhaust silicone together.no more exhaust pipe coming apart. And the best one ,was the balloons that people use to make little animals out of,we used for shock boots. They worked great for keeping the shock shafts from getting all scratched,and bad sticky shocks. Hope someone can use some of these ideas,and have longer problem free runs like we did.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Great tips Mike. -Brett

[@evhexrc1765]

Wow, my suggestions for each video have been the next! One of them was upgrading the engine. Great job at the track Brett! If you switch ALL of the Phillips head screws and mating hardware to lightweight titanium and aluminum fine threaded hex head screws/hardware, that’ll drop the weight a bit and reduce the likelihood of screws backing out. If a particular screw keeps baking out after that, even with blue locktite, you can mix the blue with red. I suggest a 75:25 blue to red mix.

[@alexr9030]

Quite Impressive , you didn't loose your touch . Nice to see the good results for this car overall. I also like the ending , and a lot of people would agree this guy is having so much fun . Keep up the good work Brett .

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Thanks Alex. -Brett

[@YQVN35]

very cool race track and all that comes with it..very nice video and bravo to the young experienced racer.

[@robertruiz9466]

Brett you truly Rock I admire your passion and enthusiasm for the hobby. My grand kids love your unboxing and other great videos

[@Stickies72]

That was some very nice driving on your part, that car is looking pretty good.

[@matthutch5919]

Your running 2nd (until the roll) & a bloke says "we'll get a fast car" 🤣🤣🤣 Maybe it's the driver, u kicked it sweet 👍👍

[@kruzracing1692]

Wicked cool video series. I really enjoy the sound of nitro and just overall the technology. I am personally an eRacer! This is an great thing to do.....take them RTRs and ready to race them. I just know when I was new to the Racing of RCs, it's the price tag and what actually is needed for the track. I really enjoy building RTRs for the track. I am currently bringing an ECX Revenge back and turning an RTR laps on the track this year. I provide the build online ecxforum for fellow ECX lovers. Again, I totally enjoyed this vid series, and keep pushing these RTRs, this is what will expand the hobby.

[@gregmcintosh3227]

Loved this build from start to finish would love to see more of this content 👍🏻

[@marxnex71]

I gotta say I’m loving this series on nitro. Makes me wanna get back into it. 👍🏻

[@scottcupp8129]

I've been doing a lot of awesome ordering from AMain lately. Love them so much. There is nothing better in the world of RC. THANK YOU :)

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Thank you Scott! We've tried to create a shop that stocks all the niche things r/c guys and gals would want and need. Thank you for shopping with us. If you ever have questions, let me know! -Brett

[@BlvlWmpower]

Absolutely amazing raceway. Great job on your video career dude.

[@bjornwiking1054]

Great series, really nice watching! Since you kind of won the race, the differences between RTR and better cars seems to be quite slim. Especially accounting for trac conditions ... Once again, thanks for some real quality content!

[@brettcoyle2399]

Yeah when it comes to kyosho brands cause there RTR versions are badass

[@naomijackson1859]

if the other car had not landed on top of you, who knows,may have won the race.

[@phezmann4732]

Good job guys. Brett, nice work. Yeah CJ was killin it..

[@calvinbass1839]

Looks fun. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.

Awesome Video Series. Thanks Bret and Amain. 👍😎

[@jimbolaya65]

Really nice presentation! I’m recently new to RC (way over here in Pennsylvania)and have been looking at and learning tons from many different sources. Amain is quickly becoming one of my favorite places . Thanks for the great videos 😎😎

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Awesome, welcome aboard! Let me know if you need anything. -Brett

[@robertruiz9466]

Excellent video as always A. mAIN. at 15 years old I thought this was the best sound ever of hearing A nitro now at 50. years old it's the most annoying sound ever however all you young racers keep competing and doing great things for the Hobby it's very rewarding and a positive environment to be in find your calling in the hobby it offers so many dynamics

[@brianwright2008]

Great videos! Really enjoyed this series, keep up the good work!

[@BASE5NYC]

Great video...that thing is quick on that straight. Nice car. 🤙🏼

[@paulallen-01]

That was very impressive for an rtr!! It was running a little rich, definitely could have leaned out the low needle a bit more and definitely the high speed

[@raulvelez6125]

Great video!! Big Amain fan didn't know you guys had a channel! Subscribed!

[@AMain_Hobbies]

NICE! Always wanted one of those. -Brett

[@EriMCardenasRC]

That kid knows alot 👌

[@jesseortega8598]

Awesome Video Brett. Love the Buggy!

[@zeno6111753]

Again, I really loved this series of videos. And I would really, really like to see some kind of RTR class out there. Also, not putting no shame on you Brett, you did awsome, I would like to see some of Kyoshos drivers showing up with one of these cars (setup to their liking of course) to some of the minor events.

[@VestedUTuber]

Some tracks (ones with enough buggies) split their 1/8th scale nitro buggy class into two - sportsman and open. Sportsman generally puts a price limit on your engine. ...unfortunately, though, that results in the class being dominated by SH Engines (previously Dynamite Platinum) equipped cars since those things are probably the biggest bang for your buck you can get in a .21, and you still end up with RTRs going up against top-end racing kits and rollers. My 8ight 2.0 is sportsman legal, but it can hang with the top end E-buggies. Of course, driving skill matters a lot as well.

[@VestedUTuber]

I just thought about something - nitro's actually become cheaper for club racing than electric power. Top-end brushless setups actually cost more than decent nitro setups at this point and there's really no difference in the cost of the chassis at this point (in some cases the entry level is cheaper for nitro), and the difference in performance between a low-end and high-end setup due to timing boost and other features on expensive high-end ESCs is a much larger factor than the difference between a low-end and high-end nitro engine. Seems like a good time to revive 1/10th scale nitro truck.

[@riverotterluresericdenson9216]

thats what i have noticed trying to get into racing. i think im going to order this. i love nitro anyways.

[@vivos71]

I noticed this when my brother wanted to get into racing. Not only is it around $150 cheaper to get a nitro buggy, it's also about the same price as what you need to do to a 17.5 1/10 buggy to run competitively. A Kyosho MP9 readyset is not as much slower than an MP10 kit than a Team Associated RTR buggy is from a RC10B6.3, not to mention 1/8 nitro gives you a lot more track time.

[@acewarren14]

Planning to buy MP9 Kyosho. Thanks for the video, i enjoyed watching. Keep it up Bro.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Awesome, you're going to love it. Have fun and let us know if you have any questions. -Brett

[@2t_mxrider]

Brett, awesome video! More stuff like this please

[@cup_and_cone]

"I don't think we can make 7 minutes"... Heavy blue smoke pouring out every straight, lol.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Haha. But anyone who buys this RTR, or anything similar, should not lean the engine to the max. You need some smoke coming out of the pipe. For the new nitro racer, it's usually a "set it and forget." And to be fair, we tuned the engine in 100°F weather, and on race day it was considerably cooler, and we had no pit guy or time to mess with the engine. We're not pro racers or pro tuners, and Gord Tessmann missed his flight. -Brett

[@Wicuscriz]

@@AMain_Hobbies "and Gord Tessmann missed his flight" LOL

[@sebtarta]

Rather have a nice plume of smoke than non what so ever. Yes you could hear the engine running slightly rich, but it kept with the big name engines.

[@New2Kendo]

@@sebtarta depends on allot of factors, I dont tune using a temp gun or by smoke, only on sound and performance

[@TestECull]

@@New2Kendo I tune by performance and smoke. If it isn't smoking it's too lean, if it isn't performing it's too rich. The happy medium is where the performance is great but it still smokes under load.

[@TTMOTO888]

Love your videos brett, I hope you keep making them.

[@flamed6971]

Finally they raced my favorite buggy I'd been finding some kyosho mp9 race battle

[@FringeMinority]

Great series, good job! Thanks

[@jt5261]

Love it, great video. 😃👍😃 Makes me want to get into 1/8 buggy racing. It looks like the key to a good race is consistency and driving smooth. It’s shame you got a bump roll. Shame there aren’t as many tracks in the uk. The model scene seems smaller over here

[@dirtshart]

I've been wanting to do a similar build with the Kyosho RB6.6 RTR. Great video series was interesting to watch.

[@_S_K_Y_SaMuRa1_]

Great series mate, you held your own and did fantastic. Hats off to you bro

[@charlesbonkley]

Indeed a great track, for sure. He said aluminum SERVO, not aluminum servo horn, but you did the right thing in vid #4 and commented in vid #5.

[@filude305]

I have a old neo inferno up grade all around servos , engine, big bore aluminum shock , pipe elimination of eclip all around and more , and rides very competitive tracks out in Florida. Its not what kit you got but how deep involved you get into become the best out on your local track

[@rezapratama2457]

Ah, really missed this hobby.

[@JasonBlack66]

I race some serious gear now, but I still miss my KE25 that engine rocked. and OMg what a facility. wish we had that in Australia :/

[@ErikARCT]

Awesome Video!!!

[@otm646]

You want an plastic steering servo horn. That's the fusible link, otherwise you risk damaging the servo. Horns are cheap to to replace and faster than swapping a servo. In normal use (not crashing) the plastic horn will never fail unless previously damaged.

[@adamhenderson3095]

Great vid combo bro

[@longboardguy]

Love this nitro series and nitro content. I just got a HPI Hellfire ss. An old truggy but it was a steal so had too. Plan on running it around for fun nothing to crazy as I don’t want to break anything. But I got to get a Kyosho Buggy for next year this is a cool series

Seems like that car can be made pretty darn competitive for not too much investment. It seemed pretty fast out of corners and jumps. With a good tune it seems power isn't an issue.
