RC RACE WARS: Thunder Tiger ST4 vs HPI Trophy Truggy 4.6 Nitro

[@Gavs_rc_hobbies]

Your mates truggy is rich as all hell, 1/4 - 1/2 a turn on the main needle and it will liven up.

[@warmfreeze]

nah that motor sounded kinda trashed...you could hear it losing power after it started to heat up..

[@traxxasrc10]

warmfreeze not only that later on it sounded lean near the end and the idle sounded really low.

[@warmfreeze]

tyler jones nah it sounds lean but its from it heating and expanding and losing pinch and compression thus losing power. just a worn out motor..you can tell this because when he first starts it it looks and sounds rich as hell and then as he runs it a few laps it starts to sound like its leaning out and loosing compression the more he goes..i have the same engine in one of my other cars and its in about the same condition ...has plenty of compression when i first start it but after about half a tank itl stall and wont restart and has 0 compression even though its running slopping rich..

[@keithbates7705]

xrayracer1 That's so true

[@mazpr2025]

warmfreeze Everybody else is saying its running rich all across the field from beginning to end of bashing. You are saying its running lean. Its running rich, from looking at the video ALL THE TIME.

BEST RC RACE WARS YET!, keep them coming! ;)

[@aussiercaddictions2676]

Thats awesome Vas Having nitro verses electric was awesome and quite evenly matched suprised. Thanks man for all that ya do and you have got to do that again some other time and maybe more people will be even better. Thanks again Vas

[@AlansRC_World]

I think that was a very close/good race between the two!! Bad I think your driving is better which is why you're won all three races but it was fun to watch!! Nice job!!!

[@flightmonkey4225]

Fun Vid. People really enjoying our great Hobby. 😎

[@JAWS1376]

love these race wars! also think it's cool that you trust your friends to drive your cars! and the other way around! come on I'm sure you have more cars you could put to the test!

[@EVERYDAYRC]

Nice Vas! Very enjoyable. Good comparison.

[@Firewlkre]

Xclnt! Kept me on the edge of my seat and got my radio trigger twitchin,thx guys keep it up!

[@696mattie]

If the HPI was turned an hour turn clockwise on the LSN it would have better acceleration on the bottom end, also its running supper, super,rich! Nice Video

[@boardemt]

That nitro will give you a run for your money with the right tune and tires!

[@RCmaxxUK]

Great vid mate. The nitro did seem a bit rich maybe, and as a result a little sluggish... Looked like u were holding back on the st4's throttle a little to me. ;) no contest really. I like both nitro and e, a more interesting race would be with a better nitro... The hpi trophy is mediocre from what I hear. My mugen mbx6 nitro would give your typhon a run for its money for example but that's because it's got a proper race motor in it! E and nitro / pros n cons. Great to have the option of both in the garage ideally! ;) keep em coming Vasco! 👍👍

[@ericdamexican]

Vas more of these! This is great!!!

[@drewelbestia]

I really enjoyed this video , great video

[@AussieRCPlayground]

+drewelbestia Thank you, glad you liked it. :)

[@paulmcnamara16]

I love to see any nitro Vs electric vids. Nice one buddy

[@Sloppyjoe96]

what is the best truggy for bashing? i really want to swap out my slash for a truggy lol

[@GeneralHobbies]

who knows the terrain best. good show

[@lisabargeron910]

that was awesome man you are a natural badass the man from the land of Down Under keep up all your hard work man and all your fun you have one of the coolest channels ever man when it comes to rc

[@Saczilla2]

Great vid vas keep up the good work like watching all your vids

[@bryanthompson7289]

That nitro performs so much better than what yall are seeing, crazy rich

[@jhunbaidavao8487]

Nice one....

[@PaddyPatrone]

HPI needs some engine adjustment

[@25reggiebushfan]

Cool video. I use to like nitro but I got away from it. I can't wait until summer here must be nice weather there lol

[@xboxice2005]

Vas I think you’re just a better driver 👌😎

[@FrankygoestoHobbywood]

A nice racing series..! :-)

[@sammydendoncker3980]

Do you have e review vid of the thunder tiger monster truck?

[@chinky1412]

Nice vid fella but we all new the st4 would win, battery against nitro no competition, now a flux trophy truggy with badlands tyers would be a race I'd love to see.

[@onlyifusayplz5407]

Just a nitro question.. Why don't these companies put a start button on the transmitter, which enables a starter motor just like on full scale vehicles? Like EZ-start, but remote controlled.

[@MatthewFant]

Probably because honestly nitro has lost popularity. I love nitro and gas, and always will, but the majority of people prefer electric to gas. That is an outstanding idea however, and my dad has that style of system in one of his large scale gas powered rc planes.

[@ericdamexican]

I own a Losi tenT and it has a ROSS system on it. It's a remote starting system. It's pretty awesome. But it uses a 1000mah lipo on board for it and the reciever, so it adds a good amount of weight.. But works well. It's like a remote ez start.

[@MatthewFant]

Nice!

[@warmfreeze]

mostly due to weight..the EZ start module weighs about 2 lbs with the battery..as well as the electric starter adds extra weight...personally i can't stand them..i've seen so many people eat up their engine because they had debris stuck in there and since you don't have a "feel" for what the engine is doing as if you had a pull start..you will just tear it up.

[@greendemon70]

Where is this?

[@SHAYEN-cd5qw]

COOL !

[@MatthewFant]

I'd definitely bring a truggy to that fight, although truth be told, i'm better at bashing then lapping.

[@Rangotherabbit]

Keep the good work i hope to catch up with you one day.

[@KevinMillard68]

cool vid

[@CJLeTeff]

You are clearly the better driver, so it's not a true comparison, though it was interesting.

[@shawnalejandro2143]

You all prolly dont care but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost the login password. I would love any tips you can offer me.

[@dantekaiser7097]

@Shawn Alejandro instablaster =)

[@shawnalejandro2143]

@Dante Kaiser thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and im trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@shawnalejandro2143]

@Dante Kaiser It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my ass!

[@dantekaiser7097]

@Shawn Alejandro No problem :)

[@radneverp]

Your race wars vids are fun to watch. Maybe changing up the track a little might go a little easier on your competitors. Wish I could run my car there, but I'm literally on the other side of the planet. Your other vids are Really making want to ad a Typhon to my stable.

[@terryshrives8322]

I agree, the hpi is just too rich. Needed serious tuning

[@maddin-n4s]

nice

[@ehsansalem8697]

Very entertaining to watch, don't know why exactly but had a smile on my face through out the whole video, loved it. Would it be possible to mark out a track with cones or something ? On a side note, just ordered a CYS servo from asiatees based on your recommendation, was wondering how's it holding up with you (I think you used it in the Proline 2WD SCT). Again, great video. Cheers.

[@derutuber]

cones = good idea

[@almighty151986]

I've owned that 4.6 HPI Nitro engine and I don't think is sounded like it was tuned particularly well.

[@dazspurs9899]

I agree mine seems to go better maybe he also wasn’t using the best fuel

[@GazCle]

Good battle there Enjoyed that. It seems Vasco knows the track the best as he won all the races ;O) Nitro sounded Ok on HSN maybe go 1/8 turn in clockwise to Lean the mixture. But the LSN is the problem it's too rich why you got no acceleration and it stalls. It should be almost wheelieing off the line when Tuned (After break in) .. Turn the LSN in clockwise bout 1/8 of a turn and check acceleration it should improve keep doing that till you notice a drop in performance then go back 1/8 of a turn to last setting that should be perfect then but re test HSN to check for smoke trail after setting LSN... Same applies to tuning the HSN .. I find this flow chart very useful Bookmark it ! Also a sealing guide and run in instructions / methods ;O) RCYAL8R __``o=o¬ __ RC Car Club www.rcnitrotalk.com/forum/threads/nitro-tuning-tips-and-tuning-flow-chart.60832/#flowchart

[@syedjawadahmed2853]

doesnt seem hpi is driven by any expert..

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Haha. Who said we were expert drivers? This was just a bit of fun, mate, don't take it so seriously. 😎

[@syedjawadahmed2853]

ok ..sory if u mind it friend

[@mtctookie25]

Nice but i think you might be a slightly better driver then your friend bro. ;)

[@Scoobydcs]

nitro does my head in for tuning

[@kingbrutus1804]

HPI nitro need some better racing tires for that track smh getting his ass kick

[@paige2732]

Try to race the electric trophy truggy. They come 4s.

[@Thebankfisher]

Hpi is running lean on the low end and Rich on the top .. if I was driving it would eat that electric up

[@zackcobb7959]

race tuned the nitro would win I can hear it has a terrible time and needs a better clutch and spur gear

[@rcforlife553]

your friend should lean out the low end and same with the higj end needle its very rich

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Associated Camp Well, it doesn't matter now... He eneded up getting the throttle servo stuck on full, the car took off on him and got completely smashed. R.I.P. Trophy Truggy.

[@rcforlife553]

oh man that sucks.

[@luigynkaren062011]

I'm sure the hpi could of won with better tires, and the hsn was rich as hell.

[@roumelimanos]

So it was all about the driver

[@BASSstarlet]

More nitro models please!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

BASSstarlet Yup, just need to find more friends with nitro cars. haha.

[@BASSstarlet]

Aussie RC Playground Thats true.A couple weeks ago, i phoned to a shop asking info about a Kyosho nitro model, and i was shocked when they told me that Kyosho is going to abaddon nitro!WTF?

[@teamfutabaspeedfresh8339]

the idle is too low, need to lean it out a little more.

[@Rebecca_The_Dragon]

I think Vaz is just a better driver

[@emmanuelleonruiz8697]

electric is 4 girls

[@AussieRCPlayground]

+Emmanuel Leon ruiz You are exactly what's wrong with this great hobby. That sort of attitude is not only unwelcome here, but it is a very narrow minded and bigoted one. Just because someone doesn't favour the same type of RC as you, doesn't mean you have the right to discriminate against them. There's different strokes for different folks. If you don't respect others, how do you expect others to respect you?

[@emmanuelleonruiz8697]

Just my comment ..but everyone is welcome in electric and nitro....i have nitro my fellas have nitro we joke around ..electric 4girl but thats not mind ...is true rite..so just a comment ..nathing alse...joking around ...

[@xboxice2005]

Guess I’m a girl 🤪

[@newtonfoster7581]

steveoy100 nitro is not the only side that requires tuning. Suspension, gearing, proper tires, all require tuning with nitro & electric, unless you just have someone tell you what to do when most serious R/C HOBBYIST take the time to dial their R/C's in on their own

[@Scuroater]

not fair! tires on the hpi suck.

[@keithkeef6635]

Electrics just better and more simple and cheaper. Its electric boogie oogie oogie

[@dazspurs9899]

Trouble is electric sounds like a child’s toys while nitro looks and sounds like a proper car

[@PFinkoloTL87]

@@dazspurs9899 right on, Daz. Still both have their appeal. I only have brushless, but I'm getting a nitro because it seems awesome :D

[@torianblair3362]

All the proof is need to know ELECTRIC IS FASTER THEN NITRO... an louder an bit much out of my style of pull out an play

[@rosieposie1294]

[@sheikhhassan848]

nitro is running too rich..

[@AussieRCPlayground]

+Sheikh Hassan Car was new at the time and was still being run in. But all that doesn't matter now because a few weeks after this video was shot the throttle servo got stuck on full throttle and the car smashed into a parked car at full speed and died. There was barely anything left of it - completely destroyed.

[@sheikhhassan848]

+Aussie RC Playground battries probably ran out causing the throttle to stuck....any way real nice vidoes...keep it up!!!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

+Sheikh Hassan Actually, it wasn't the batteries... My friend (who owned the car) was changing the throttle servo and decided to test it to see how it was running. He ran the car for a minute or two, but he forgot to put the screw on the servo horn and the horn came of, leaving the throttle stuck on full (unfortunate timing). In a panic, he lost control of the car and it slammed into a parked car or fence or something... He told me there wasn't anything left of it that would warrant a rebuild, so he salvaged what he could and just threw the rest of it out. Thanks for the support.

[@andreadelucchirallygame69g55]

Il nitro è spompato. Meglio un 21
