Losi DBXL 32cc First Start & Finishing the Installation ( break in time )

[@spike--]

55° in Wisconsin today👍. Had a rain to wash away the salt. 2 pak limitless run. Love it with the 18/50 gearing. Thanks again Earl.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Thanks 🙏

[@jonvoogd511]

Break in can be a pain I wish I saw this last year 😪 this video would have saved me a couple of trips to my local hobby shop 🙃. You know your stuff definitely. Waiting for the next video brother!💯💥

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Appreciate that 💨🙏

[@SebastianLong]

2:50 What i did to install that bolt was cut about an inch of an allen key (forget what size it is, think it was 5mm) and just use a small wrench on it. Many exhausts are set up like that for the big stuff. Including my Victory pipe. There should be a spring pulling the pipe snuggly into the rubber grommet coming off the header. The third screw under the high and low speed needle is idle control. The throttle should be fully closed when starting and adjusting the fuel ratio.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Can’t close the idle screw when it’s not tuned right when starting or you’ll be pulling the string rope all day & as it heats up the tune changes so adding throttle allows it to run long enough to get things set up properly without having to struggle so much in my eyes 👍👍

[@RON4RC]

Looking forward to you running this Earl looks and sounds awesome... That bolt on the exhaust would have tortured me I feel your pain man..... What a fantastic swap over....it looked very impressive. 😁

[@dirty_c5573]

Definitely put a spring on the pipe, once it heat cycles it will be loose and rattle apart. I would get rid of the bolts and put studs in the head.

[@jbproofbeaman76]

You will love that new pipe

[@pitbullrcltd6252]

And another awesome production from Yoda’s RC speed shop… sounds like a winner Earl…… can’t wait to see the inaugural first run with the new power plant …..💯👍🏻

I had the same problem with one of my mufflers not on this motor but I ended up using nuts and lock washer and works great I love your set up it’s awesome

Love it it sounds good 😍 can’t wait to see it rip🔥!!!

[@soundmindtv2911]

Sounds tough!! It would be torture letting it sit and idle so long, lol. I know it’s gotta be done, but it’s like a kid trying to sleep the night before Christmas! 😂

Sounds she rips. Can't wait to see her run 💪💯

I hope so 💨💨

[@NitroFreak]

good vid earl yes you need a spring for that exhaust on your bolts we normaly cut an allen wreanch down to fit its common very bad design sounds like u got it figured out nice job

[@cyclonerc1625]

That looked like a pain in the kester. Thank God for vise grips. man that sounds good. Looking awesome Earl. 👍💯🔥👊✌

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Thanks 🙏 header was a pain for sure 🤪

[@Ryan-gf3jf]

Great Vid! For the pipe i have the brovan side pipe from bartolone same problem. I just got a allen wrench and cut it to size makes it alot easier!

[@never-stock-rc2968]

Where is your exhaust spring Earl?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Couldn’t tell you wasn’t in the kit

[@westtxgreg]

Ready to see it rip now. Is the spur gear bent l? Seemed a bit wonky when you were checking the brakes. Did that pipe come with springs to hold the two halves tight together?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes it’s bent 😱

[@michaelvankirk3576]

Great video Earl 💯👍🛠️

[@jbproofbeaman76]

I would put more filter protection on I have heared the K&N filter will let fine dirt in your motor

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes unless you oil them like the K&N instructions say to do most ppl leave them dry as they clogg easy that way but definitely needs outter wear in heavy dirt runs 👍👍

[@davidpanto9346]

Sounds great, real aggressive.

[@bucksrcs1583]

Love it buddy I knw u'll have fun with that. Thanks for sharing 💯

[@jbproofbeaman76]

The header is better with a stud kit that way you have nuts makes it easier to tighten up the header

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes it would have been easier

[@Storm0212]

I replaced the hex bolts on mine to bolts with heads that I can tighten with a wrench. I have no idea what they were thinking designing it like that so you can’t get a hex wrench to work on it.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Right add a stud or change the bolt but don’t ship it like this we all have a way to get it to work but at this price it should work 👍💯

[@dajaduke1936]

Earl can you find out about that spring. I was told it came with the pipe by Amain. I want to purchase the new model but need to know what to order. Thanks DAJA

[@earlmoorhead5555]

I’m trying to find out have to wait till there open

[@chucksmith155]

What are you using for a temp gun the one you have is a lot smaller that the one I use but I think it’s a lot older than yours thanks

Nice earl

[@jimmygeorge3582]

EARL…. check your air cleaner,,,,I thought I saw it spin around when you first started to start it,,,,🇺🇸👈🚘

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes sir cleaner is never tight if you tighten it it gets crushed down silly design

[@nofreerides7033]

Yeah you could have bought the new one but more satisfaction in the build itself 👍👍👍

Yes then I’ll end up with 4 of the same platforms seems like I’m out of room already definitely love builds better 💯💯

This is what losi gets when they decided not to hire a professional such as yourself!!! What a crappy design, especially if someone is a rookie, and doesn't have any experience!! Thanks for helping a lot of people!!

Get an elen key and cut it down to size and you'll be done with all that hassle I had the same issue

[@reapersrcperformance8835]

I deal with lots of 5th scale cars hope that helps

[@reapersrcperformance8835]

Not only that but your going to have to upgrade your motor mount ones you start playing with it cause there out of plastic and they wear pretty fast

[@rcguygarage]

😜😂🤣😛

[@NAVYABHAN]

You are beginning to make me see that it might be better to spend the extra cash to get a part that actually fits the 1st time. I am new, but $275.00 seems like a lot until I see what you are experiencing.

[@HBFTimmahh]

you dont tune a 2 stroke by smoke out of the pipe. You tune a 2 stroke by plug color. You want a medium tan/caramel color. any lighter in color like a beige is too lean. any darker than caramel is too rich. If you try to break in a 2 stroke like a nitro, you'll fuck up the rings and shorten the life and weaken the power band of the 2 stroke. Need to Seat that Ring. that is what break in on a gasser consists of. That requires RPMS, A GOOD BIT OF them. well past 1/2 throttle. Just don't run it WOT for the first tank and well tuned getting into the 2nd tank you can hold WOT for whatever. but in the 1st tank, a gasser NEEDS to be brought Up to WOT and just not held there. Need to create that case pressure. In the time it took me to type this, I can tell its been idling for too long.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Can’t read a plug idling tho 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@HBFTimmahh]

@@earlmoorhead5555 First run you just tune for a good idle rpm, and not too rich on the L so it doesn't fall on its face. Tune the high needle to it gets up in rpms fast and not too rich. not too lean. will only take about 3-5 minutes to get color developing on the plug to start reading colors. Had a 26cc Reed Case ESP motor built for my Hooters Baja back in 2010ish, and had it running tuned up and making laps by the end of the 1st tank. 2nd tank was just letting it rip, leaving it just a bit rich. Had about 1000 into that motor. We stuck in on the Dyno at the end of the 2nd tank and was getting 6.8ish HP and 4.3ish ft lbs of torque at 14,800 rpms. Top rpm was just over 19,000. Don't be afraid to put some hammers on that motor and build up case pressure. It will thank you for it my man. Just no LONG TERM WOTs in the 1st tank. got up to WOT, just don't pin it and hold it there.
