Use a heat gun or even a blow dryer to warm up engine before starting is probly the best tip I can give for easy startup.

Hi John, I don't think the crash is related to it not starting. have you tried putting some fuel directly in the glow plug hole to see if it fires up? Also check the glow plug is working, and, It may sound obvious - but make sure your igniter is charged up!

@lewisturner3204
@lewisturner3204 5 жыл бұрын
make sure you leave the buggie running for a minute or so to allow the engine to heat up, lift the wheels off the ground and gently give gas, if the wheels turn then the clutch should be fine, then put the buggie back on the floor, give it a gentle push and apply a small amount of throttle and try and maintain speed, it should then work, if it stalls it's probably not getting enough fuel so unscrew the screw a little nex5 to the engine to allow more fuel in.

very informative refresher tutorial , i miss using my nitro buggy. btw you over flooded the engine, but it did help lubricate the motor well before it actually started. i recommend fresh after run oil instead of nitro gas after removing glow plug then crank it a few times without glow plug igniter. then prime and add power to start the engine.

Great guide, really like your videos...BUT. One fatal mistake on this one. You adjusted idle gap from fully closed, with your throttle trim. When you get it started this way, the engine will stall when you apply the brakes. ALWAYS. Make sure idle gap is as specified 1-2mm when brake is applied, this way the servo is forcing it shut( but adjust with open throttle, or you may damage the carb). Again, love your guides, well spoken and eksplaned.

Depends entirely on the conditions. If you've been driving on dirt / sand then I'd certainly look at taking the engine apart and cleaning the parts. If it's been on tarmac then it wont be as bad, but personally I'd clean it either way.

Good afternoon. I write to you from Ukraine, a bad translation. I want to ask you a question. I have mercedes dtm 2008. He went and worked, but then something went wrong. The car is a bad start .. the engine is roaring, the bell is spinning, but the car does not go, jerks take, thought the clutch, bought a new one, similarly does not work. I noticed that the bell is rotating in another direction, I changed the bearings, did not help, I installed new bast shoes, it also did not help. - what could it be? My engine is set up correctly. it accelerates quickly, there are turns, but there is no catch in the clutch .. I changed them already 3, + rollers + bearings, no difference .. does not go. I need help..

The process of tuning nitro engines is the same regardless of which engine it is, you need to learn the signs of a rich/lean mixture and then tune it accordingly. If the carb is messed up then return the tuning needles back to their factory default settings and work from there

@TheRCBiker
@TheRCBiker 8 жыл бұрын
It essentially just restricts the air flow a little, if you remove it you'll find you might have better throttle response. They're only used for racing to take the edge off acceleration and making the engine/buggy a bit easier to handle! Not sure why they include it in this package as like you say it's not race legal anyway. Maybe it's because you can race this size buggy in other countries and it's a model that's sold in other countries too?! No idea to be honest!

JT12's R/C Videos yes,it is a slight mystery!😊😉,I thought all buggy racing was all maximum of 3.5 cc but I'm no expert!,I've started using WD40 or some equivalent as after run oil,I've found that the rubber seals in the carburettor/back plate etc quickly perish if the buggy is left for months with nothing done,apparently the high alcohol content of nitro fuel attacks rubber and provides no corrosion protection to the cylinder walls etc allowing rust to become an issue if not used for months.😊👍👌

I used 25% nitromethane. How bad can it be damaged from this mistake? Nothing has blown up but 1 doesn't start anymore... it wants to start sometimes and idle for 3 seconds at best and the other one can only idle....

I have seen inside engines that have sat for a year with no after run oil, and it wouldn't run st all no matter how hard I tried. So I took the engine apart and cleaned all of the sludge and stuff up and it ran again. If you can't get it to start at all I would advice tearing it apart and making sure every component inside that engine is super clean. But make sure you re oil your piston and connecting rod and bearings before you put it together

Hello man! Its incredible how easily it started compared to my truck. I have a Kyosho Giga Crusher with the GXR28 engine. But, the thing is that it just wont start. Last time i tried, i was pulling the cord for like 2 hours straight and it did not even fire up once. The glow plug is in fairly good condition and the igniter is always charged up. Do you think warming up the engine with a hairdryer before firing it up would help?

You should've used just normal nitro fuel instead of carburetor cleaner, carburetor cleaner will dissolve your gaskets.

Thanks what if the oil has been in the engine for about 7 years, as my rc car is at my friends house and he said the engine is flooded and I would require a new engine along with a pipe and exhaust and pull start, is this bullshit ?

Hmm. I have a kyosho hawaii pure ten and it had been sitting on a shelf for 7 years. The bearings where coroded. I just lubed the bearings with dw-40 till it would turn over. Filled it up some 25% nitro meth and it started like a dream and still runs like a dream. And yes, i know that it´s basicaly a mowing granade because of the bearings.

josh if you remove the orange venturi from the carburetor you will see a the 1mm opening gap, keep that in mind, incase you adjust the idle screw or increase throttle trims and when you start it, it may take off mate :) by the way there is rust at the bottom of my glow plug mate. also, what type of glow plug will need for my .15 engine?

What does it mean when you get like air pockets in fuel line that make car bog down then back to normal idle?
@Clickbaiters
@Clickbaiters 8 жыл бұрын
Daniel G Usually from an air leak. Some tiny bubbles here and there in the air line is inevitable but most of the time there should be none. Again, check for air leaks. Many culprits can cause air leaks like fuel lines, fuel tanks, carb pinch bolt coming loose, etc. Some will tell you to "seal your engine"......Don't do that, it's unnecessary and in general bad advice from morons. Noobies tend to destroy engines when they go to seal them. Engines don't come sealed from the factory for a reason, they don't need it. Best of luck and enjoy the process of learning so one day you'll help someone else.
