I have this truggy and after throttle the car dies and then will start up fine again run okie good low end okie high end but as soon as I stop blipping the throttle it dies, the car idles well when first started too!!!! please help :)

[@gavinshort37]

I impulsively bought a HPI bullet ST 3.0 as my first RC car (straight to nitro) and I wanted to just say that your tutorials and tuning tips have came in very handy and are very easy to follow as a beginner. Currently all broke in and tuned at 5 tanks however I’ve kept my HSN slightly rich still until it’s had around 10 tanks through! What a fun hobby ( and addictive )

[@TheRCBiker]

Thanks Gavin, I'm glad they help :)

[@Josh-pb5eo]

Your right front tire has a flat spot, and I'm so glad I found your channel again, I used to watch years ago

[@TheRCBiker]

Probably from where it was sat in the box for a while, seems to be OK now :) Thanks for tuning in

[@matthewprior3762]

Its a trip watching you grow throughout the years and been a big help to new guys such as myself enjoy this hobby. Keep doing what your doing man! 😎

[@TheRCBiker]

Thanks, will do!

[@ripsnort8194]

Great vid man you are the Attenborough of rc

[@taiteelsey2129]

Seems a great way to break them in when getting new cars will definitely follow these break in videos

[@TheRCBiker]

Thanks, there's lots of different methods and they all achieve the same!!

[@delroyifill5445]

Another brilliant video I did the same and still didn’t go to crazy on it till I hit 10 tanks and mines been running very good even at 5 years old now 💯

[@TheRCBiker]

Thanks 👍

Just subscribed and this is a great video. I bought a Savage SS about 17years ago and never got it running properly. Think I knackered it by not breaking it in right. It idled fine and accelerated well but would then bog down. Had it looked at but no joy. Thinking it’s time for a new engine and start again!

[@isaacsbuilds4203]

Man I love nitros, I fixed up an old street one, and I can’t go half throttle because it’s to fast! I have to use it in some massive car parking lot, anyway nice vid, keep it up!

[@TheRCBiker]

Awesome stuff, thanks :)

[@aleksanderbakke1285]

Good video 👍 Have the same car and struggle a bit with tuning. I set the hsn well also when I set the lsn counterclockwise, ie less fuel so I get a temp of between 120 and 130 degrees. When idling, it goes down to 110 degrees. Runs at 25% What do you recommend me to do? You put lsn on the video more fuel on lsn? Then the car will be good but as soon as I am idling a bit and should acceleration it dies a bit and then it comes so maybe get a little too much fuel in the beginning? 🤔😁

[@All-rc804]

Hi just just orderd a hpi mt 3.0 and was wondering how long it takes to use a full tank at idle?

[@HaggardRC]

I wonder how many people follow it, I used to, until I learned more.

[@chrisstephens6194]

What do you mean fella?

[@TheRCBiker]

There's tonnes of different ways but they all achieve the same result, I hear many stories of people not even bothering with break in and they have no issues!

[@leepearson4400]

which recommend more this car or haboa hyper 7

[@bartoszabratanski3425]

I think I prefer your way of doing it !!

[@TheRCBiker]

Me too!

[@chrisdone687]

Can you not stop the wheels spinning on the radio ? Throttle trim mate ? Or is that part of tuning and to early to do it ,or because there isn't any throttle trim and the carb regulates the rpm on it only ?? ...

[@TheRCBiker]

Yes you can, but sometimes when these engines are new they won't run without the wheels spinning until they've had a few tanks through them. The wheels spinning isn't an issue as long as it's off the ground

[@chrisdone687]

3 shoe clutch would awesome or even a 4shoe clutch these only come with 2 shoe clutch you can see in the video it’s actually slipping abit

[@TheRCBiker]

Thanks for watching

[@mindfreak9674]

I just let mine run through a full tank then pretty much ran it after that, good so far.

[@TheRCBiker]

Nice work!

[@lloydpatmore138]

Hi, I am looking at one of these and the supplier recommends 16% fuel in a package which includes all the oils you need, is there any reason for this %age? Wondering if it’s for the break in procedure before moving to a higher %age? Thanks in advance

[@TheRCBiker]

Hi Lloyd, you want to be starting with the same percentage that you intend to use. 25% will be fine for break in and bashing. If it's just on a website you're seeing this kit I would suggest it's probably more just a general website package rather than recommended for your particular car.

[@lloydpatmore138]

TheRCBiker I went and done it! Superb bit of kit, some light tuning and it blows my brothers savage away, not even fully tuned yet, well impressed!

[@rogerbradbury7200]

Hi, loving the videos 👌 I'm looking at getting my first Nitro the Trophy 4.6 caught my eye and now I'm here. Do you consider it a good entry level machine? Or are there better ones in a similar price range? Wanted mainly to tinker with and bash round the local quarry with my son. Thank you again great videos 👍

[@TheRCBiker]

Yes it's a good car, very well built :)

[@rc_teo_nade_216]

Will you ever buy a Traxxas revo 3.3?

[@TheRCBiker]

Maybe!

[@indirectfever6357]

You should get a tello drone, and then you can program it to fly in a circle by itself so you can then shoot videos of the RC cars from the sky.

[@TheRCBiker]

I've got a Mavic that will do the same thing

[@brandenbreen2667]

Hi mate I was just tuning my low speed needle on my nitro car it has started to be very responsive when i applied little throttle where it drifts and does donuts too but when i do full throttle it's very sluggish reaching to full speed is it because the high speed needle is too rich or could be something else? Thank you

[@TheRCBiker]

Sounds like HSN yes :)

Hey rcbiker should I get a ftx vantage or a ftx carnage?

[@TheRCBiker]

I've not had the Vantage, is it a buggy? The carnage is a good car. They're both based on the same chassis so your decision would come down to whether you fancy a buggy or truck :)

[@nitrorcmaff468]

@@TheRCBiker I kind of fancy the buggy more than the truck. Reason why I asked you is because when I watched one of your old videos of you having a ftx carnage I knew you had more knowledge about the car anyway thanks for responding😀😄

No worries :)
