That under the body footage is awesome !!!!

Miss it the nitro smell in the morning. Last time I rode nitro was back in 2010 I think. Made a low res video of it. It was a Kyosho Alpha Pure 10 with an European Opel/Vauxhall body. Gave the car away to a kid from a church I went to back then. Great vid!

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.

[@hybrid32494]

Nothing is more iconic than the WRX STI body, and it's a perfect fit for this chassis. Sickening! More on this thing soon.

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!

I know ur not a center diff fan, but have you considered getting a losi muggy to restore and try? I have 4 of them. Pretty good truck.

[@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.

Nice pit stop 😛 haha. Can’t wait to see you give wr8 hell

[@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.
