Be sure to turn the flywheel to bottom dead centre after each heat cycle, so it cools with the piston at the bottom. Also, get a nice bit of filter oil. Love the content as always Tomley, thanks for giving Nitro some love, we need all the help we can get. Power to you! Also make sure you can always see the blue smoke of unburnt oil, which is needed to lube the piston.

Nice. The sound and the smoke is what it's all about. Battery stuff is SO boring. Tinkering is part of the fun. Don't lean it out too much, it will overheat and destroy the engine. I have to drive over 30 miles to a place where I can run my off road buggy. You'd need a truckload of charged batteries to get much run time out of a battery powered one. With nitro you can run it for hours, no batteries, no chargers. Just have several filters with you. In the sand they get dirty fast.

Nice, it runs fine, and tuning is pretty decent. For “drifting” is good with the single speed, but in parking lots or track use for better speed and not ask constantly full rpm from the engine, the 2 speed conversion is a must have.

That engine on the FTX offroad vehicles starts so easy as long as it's primed, it's always worth checking the idle gap as that is usually set a little on the slow side. Actually it's better to keep the engine warm when running in but not over heating. Your idle is a little low which is why it's trying to cut out

I remember trying Nitro with an OFNA 1/8 buggy. Never got it started, the hobby shop couldn't get it running. They even put a brand new engine that was much nicer than the RTR and it wouldn't start. Finally after tinkering with it for about a week and the shop not having any luck, it was returned. I took that money and bought RC10T4 RTR. That experience was enough to turn me off from trying nitro again. With that said, I think it would be a ton of fun to try again. Surely, it was bad luck but to be honest, I never knew about the break in procedures and likely would've ruined the buggy, so perhaps it was for the best at the time.

Those cheap Force engines can sometimes be absolute gems. I have had both power systems and if you have the time and the place to run it, nitro is more rewarding, plus I like the fact that you do not have to buy more batteries if you want to go out and bash for hours, just bring some extra glow plugs and an extra C-battery or two. I will say however, nitro RACING is very difficult because you need a pit-guy and one that actually knows how to tune on the fly, electric is so much less drama on race day.

Tuning depends lot on the fuel you're using, if you're using fuel with a high oil content like 18 or 20% (optifuel) then you need to tune for more smoke than fuel that has around 10%. Type of oil is important too, synthetic doesn't give the same protection as castor oil. You want some castor oil in the fuel because it gives better high heat protection and leaves a slight varnish inside your engine which makes it live longer. If the fuel has no castor oil in it I think you should always run the engine richer than fuel with castor oil even if there's more oil in the fully synthetic fuel

Hey there Phil, never hold full throttle on a nitro, when you get to full throttle, back it off to half or so for a second or two then go up to full throttle for a wee second or two, then rinse and repeat and your engine will last for a long time, don’t forget to put after run oil in it when you’re finished driving it. Niiiiiiiiiiice video Phil, really enjoyed it.😊 Ps…..did I mention that I love nitros 😊

what are u talking about? There is absolutely nothing wrong about driving a nitro car like this with full throttle&rpm fully normally. even ten* second straight on a track does not kill engines like this. (ok ten seconds is lonh and not often you see that long straights on tracks but they dio exist. I mean go look proper competition races, no matter if its 1 or 2 speed gearbox, EVERYBODY will keep it pinned on the longest straight and it doesnt do any damage as long as your lubrication is working. co me on man..

You're frustrated because you're impatient. Follow the instructions. 99% of your issues will be solved. Way back in the day I ran a ton of cox .049 engines when I was a kid. Soon as you read the instructions ALL the problems were solved. Then I bought a kyosho nitro corvette. Couldn't get it started. Read the instructions, started on the third pull, and did everything right and it is still running great after 20 years. First thing is make sure your ignitor is charged, and secondly, get the freaking wheels off the ground. I see KT firing them up with a foot holding the car down and the wheels on the ground then wonder why it won't start. That's like wondering why you can't walk with your legs tied together. Next most important thing? Get the right fuel. Too much lube=it won't fire Not enough lube=it will burn up.

Little tip for first time engine startup, screw the glow plug on all the way but dont tighten it yet, prime the fuel to fill up the lines and carb, then back out the glow plug 1-2 turns before trying to start it. 0nce started tighten the glow plug on and your startups will be easier from then on. Compression on a new engine is usually high, as the rings havent seated in yet, so it struggles to startup. After first startup rings seats in with that initial tank idle run in. The air fuel ratio should be slightly rich so that you get that initial plume of smoke, but thins out. and for high speed you want to carry that same amount of smoke plume. Safer to runner it on the richer side than leaner side, as lean means less lubricant going in, and engine will runner hotter, and eventually warp the cylinder, seize rings or bearings.

Yes, all "fuel" engines should be run a little rich specially 2 strokes because the lube is in the fuel. More lube is better than less lube. PLUS the fuel is also used to cool the engine. Too lean and it will run too hot and while "heat is horsepower" too much heat is death.

From experience you NEVER touch the low speed from factory unless it's a very serious problem, you could spend hours if you get this even slightly wrong! Planes, Cars and Helis. Nitro rocks when it's in tune, if your going to commit spend £20 odd quid on a rotor start backplate and use a drill if you have one or buy a rotor starter. Pull starting is awful once it loses tune (and it will, a 10C temp change can be enough, especially for ease of starting)

The sound is the only good thing about that car🤣...use to have lots of nitro cars back then, but in my opinion guys go gas or electric, much more fun and less problems, but i understand guys with nitro

Had many problems getting it started like Not starting, puller getting SUPER stiff, air in fuel tubes, "Ready to run" Clearly not you need to buy other parts like filter oil, But besides that i got it running and just breaking it in and works great.

Sometimes I go out to the field of the helicopter club (more a bunch of friends) but most of them fly big nitro Helicopters, always go home with a bit of a headache because of the sound of the nitro engines. Also I can do 3 flights with my electric Helicopters in the tune they started theirs.. lol
