[@ZingZingNZ]

Inside a year, I've learnt how to start a nitro, to buying adam drake engines and can break them in and now 4 gallons in and doing my own rods. Lost some engines on the way. But in a year I'm now confident with what I'm doing more and more it's coming naturally

@9:28 preheating the nitro motor is new for me. Thanks for showing it!

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! how you doin! I see you're a new subscriber to the channel, I'm glad to have you here. And yes, it makes the first start much easier, in fact on very high end motors you almost cannot start them due to their crazy high compression. It's not 100% needed on a motor like this, but can't hurt.

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude! how you doing! I remember the old WR8 model with the funny looking fiesta body, never really liked the old one, but this one just blows every other rally style car away.

How do you like this car compared to the jato

[@hybrid32494]

hey man, let me answer you, this is a good question. To be honest ,they are totally different. This HPI is VERY Scale and has a nice little deep sound to the pipe, it's much slower than the Jato too. The jato is great for long top speed runs, this one is good for everything else.

[@rcshowoff5427]

Super Awesome nitro!! Onboard camera was great..

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude! Whats up! Thanks man, people seem to love that clip, I've already recorded some faster on-board runs with this car. Gonna be Sickening! thanks man!.

[@stevengross597]

hey maybe u can answer this question, i tore mine apart and loctite just went thru it, noticed the lsn didnt look right, checked manual says flush like normal. i checked mine it was 3 turns out past flush. set it to flush on break in wouldnt start. set it back 3 turns out fired right up and idles perfect. did i get factory defect or is manual not right?

[@hybrid32494]

Hey dude how you doing it sounds like you could have misunderstood what they meant by flush, I noticed they always talk about the low speed needle being flush but it actually looks completely different on various manufacturers motors. I usually don’t even bother with what the factory setting is once you get it running you simply just tune from there.

[@adamj3606]

Good stuff! This wr8 is great....so glad I got it. Hope to see some inboard views of it racing other cars at the track. 👍

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! You're on the right track, cause guess what, there is already a video I recorded just today where I drove alongside an ARRMA. It really wasn't a race cause that was a sickening fast arrma, not really fair for this style of nitro ,you know. But it will look great!!

Hey my dude! Thanks for your support, and yes, I always mention the fail-safe check for any new nitro model. In fact about 50% of the time the fail-safe isn't even set or its in the wrong direction which would result is a crazy runaway. More on this soon man, thanks!

[@lipoz-n-nitroz4012]

Great video! May I ask what went wrong with your Dynamite glow ignitor? I have the same one so I want to know what I can expect down the line. Also, from time to time, Tower puts that glow ignitor on sale. I've had several 'built in' battery ignitors fail, that's why I always carry a 'D' cell powered one as a backup. No one seems to be able to make a reliable one.

[@hybrid32494]

Im glad you noticed the Dynamite Glow Driver issue. Well I actually forgot the one I normally use why my friend, lol. But I will tell you that I have a second one which failed and so did my buddy's. We both have the same issue, the LED on top is green but the plug is not getting power. I have since been looking at all my old drivers and will soon make a video on them all. So far the top rated one is the McDaniel meter one. Sold on Ebay.

[@lipoz-n-nitroz4012]

@@hybrid32494 This will make for an EXCELLENT video. Glow plug igniters are an essential part of our nitro gear. I used to run one with an external lipo but internally there was a design flaw so it failed. I would love to diagnose one of those Dynamite igniters to see what failed internally but I'll have to wait until mine fails. I had one of those McDaniel glows but it was under the Tower Hobbies brand when Hobbico owned them. Yes, it worked fine until the battery failed unfortunately. Now that I'm more experienced in life, I would simply replace the failed battery but you would need a 'battery welder' which you can now buy cheaply unlike years ago. My backup is a Dynamite D cell powered igniter that has a meter but I think any decent C or D powered igniter will make a good backup. Nothing sucks more than having an igniter fail after driving 20 minutes to your bash spot with no backup whatsoever.
