[@sam_todd]

I'm getting back into the hobby, currently rebuilding my t maxx. Tekno wasn't even on my radar, now those are what I'm working towards next. thanks to you.

[@VinceShizzle]

I have to thank you for that suspension tuning knowledge you dropped there. I noticed it loose exiting corners on power. I'm glad you explained what you did and seeing that those changes made a drastic improvement when exiting corners on power. Thanks again dude. Kickass at PNB best of luck to you and or Evan.

[@stephaniebryant26]

Hey Mark I should come to the Hobby connection of Easley Greenville SC. They are having a race on march 12 at 12:00. There is a lot of places to eat, people are nice. There is a lot of great things about Easley

[@davidshipman4555]

I wish I had that amount of knowledge when it comes to tuning. Your level of knowledge and being able to tell Evan exactly how far to adjust the throttle needles and idle is amazing!

[@cortmeinhardt4463]

I'll lay odds Evan turns himself into a solid lil nitro racer

[@nathanschulte9009]

Seeing Mike rocking the pink and green takes me back to 2008 and the Manufactures cup when he raced the Traxxas Revo, that was such a great race! Good to see him still at it!

[@davidbegeotsr4025]

It's nice to see you running nitro with the boy that's that's good

[@Storyracing387]

Ahh the sound of angry bees 😂

[@rudysrc6652]

Dang Mark, it’s like a whole other game Dogg! Electric vs Nitro! Like 2 different hobbies almost! Thanks for showing us what’s up with the Nitro game man!! 🤙🏽

[@luisrosario1112]

Yeahh, it's really different 😁🔥

[@ryanwood348]

Nitro is definitely back! i just ordered an 8ight-T and sighing her up for racing in the spring. Can’t freekin wait!

[@RcOffroad9513]

My buddy runs the Xpert switch, in his serpent with light mod to it. Seems to love it! I got a new Serpent E-buggy on the way, can't wait! It will be my first build, of a new platform! I'll probably do an unboxing on my channel. Truck looks and sounds great man. Not a fan of the new body style, I'm gonna have to get one though. Front shocks always punch thru the front of my body, and make it hard to keep nice. Great video!

[@bobthomas9403]

I can't wait to run some laps with you in my NT!!! Congrats on getting the build done!!! Super excited for you and Evan!!!

[@scottbryant9687]

Hey Mark u should come to the hobby connection of Easley. They are having a race on March 12 at 12:00. Btw people down here are so nice.

[@ReadySetRC]

Great run guys! Tekno is looking good out there👍

[@bluegroovemodelsports9650]

Always fun to hear the revs and see the smoke

[@lukewestwood5778]

Hi Mark, another good video. Love the racing ones more. Good set up advice also!

[@chadchristians607]

Great video and thanks for the fuel Mark!

[@wolf16731]

Looking good. I've only got a single long practice session and one club race on my Tekno NT48 2.0. The only change I made so far was going to my favorite wing (Tekno High Downforce) and VRP 1.5mmx5 pistons in the shocks. Feels awesome for me. Glad to see you with a nitro on a track.

[@jahmenrcbuildingasone4254]

Talking snap while driving love it!! Very good running. When someone is better then you it makes you better 😊

[@2149mike]

I need to get that setup-station😍Thank you so much champ!🙌🏻🔥

[@cmtlights]

Soo stoked for the nitro series 🙌

[@bevinsracing]

Great running car I just got my hobao hyper sst .32 running today miss the nitro

[@maxxdavidson7795]

liked how you went over what anti squat does, very helpful.

[@dizzychizzy1]

Best video yet… fun track with great driving

[@stephenjones1270]

Been waiting to see more nitro

[@drwtrex]

That was awesome mark

[@mattfavor2940]

Tekno is the business bro!! I w still got a gen 1 nb48 that rips with my nb48 2.0 all day. U just cant stop them

[@midwestboss8808]

Dang I need to do some nitro racing , looked awesome and that truck is exactly what I would buy , 👍🔥

[@EJ-74]

Nice bump pass Mark 😁 Closed the door a few times also NIIICE 🔥 The Tekno is looking good out there bro. 🔥 That was a fun one on one battle. 🔥👍✌️

[@Elmostro21]

Wow very nice to see you with nitro I Love it.

[@Ronnaferd]

Looks like a blast! Lol at the smack talk on the driver's stand 😎

[@jcfish847]

Love the nitro content

[@XxMangoKushxX]

yess love the nitro content!!!

[@dsrc53]

Drivetrain isn’t even broken in and it’s already looking great sheeesh !!!

[@marcsangiuliano4273]

You burned that track up, especially after you made the adjustments to the rear end. Please show the footage of you and Evan when you guys race that truck, that’s gonna be something special to see! I can’t wait!

[@owensimmons_rjg]

Awesome! Hopefully see you at PNB! 🏆

[@glenncarlson3161]

My tekno et48.3 and my et48 2.0 are by far my favorite cars. I might get a nitro one if i can find a better place to bash. My backyard not big enough and since I'm in a wheelchair I need to get my driver's license so i can take my nitro out to a big field and stuff. I'm super jealous of your BEAUTIFUL paint jobs on your rigs baby

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

That's cool set up

[@MrMaPierce]

YES! more race content, please!

[@fishnrc294]

Nice driving. Nitrous RC’s make brushless motors look silly. Super quick very quickly. Cool you get to enjoy & have something in common with your son. That’s a win win situation.

[@chardison6026]

Nice tekno man so clean …. Nothing like a nitro

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

That sounds good really great information cool channel

[@JimmyKeane825]

Nice job Mark

[@Douger318]

looks like a blast. just got a sworkz 35-4 . 56 old just getting into it money pit lol

[@thegooseisloose03]

bald tires, and outdrives and center drives not being broken in yet, get a gallon on it, and it will start to generate grip. Looks great Mark.

[@JPRC_CRAZINESS]

Wow those changes made it way more planted.can’t wait to run my tekno.. of course not at the track though 😎👍🏻

[@Brw06YT]

Mark, i watched one video today and now im watching them all😂

[@Thedudeabides803]

About to buy this, love the video. Have a new mp10T I built this winter and wanna build this to have a buddy race me. Finishing my at home track with the Deere 450c bulldozer I bought last summer and I hope to be racing and sending out invites to local rc guys after spring. Enjoy the content.

[@MrDeathlus]

Love nitro my Fav 100%

[@craigjones2015]

Engine sounds sweet mark.... lol

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Really nice race track brother

[@rcdaejeonrc5878]

It's cool, I'm going to watch the video well ~~^^

[@delawarepro3539]

Great Content 🙌 🛻💨

[@GGrimm-Deadstone66]

You have a lot of great content! I was wondering if you would do a video or short series on what you would need or what it takes to get started in nitro rc? I've been thinking about getting a nitro, but a little unsure

[@endosrc]

aweeee yes

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Good evening great video nice car

[@gregmojher4912]

Hey Mark the build turned out so sick, quick question, what kind of wheels n tires were you running?

[@dylansowder6617]

This truck needs more video!

[@calebg7460]

Awesome I love it. Get a nb48 2.0 when you can. We’re not here to take part we’re here to take over. #teknotakeover

[@richardsak887]

Awesome. Been wondering what are those long handles called guys add to the fuel tank to make opening in the pits easier? Thanks

[@The_RC_Dude]

Not sure, taking a shot in the dark, something like ”fuel pulls” or “tank pulls”?

[@xx1uk3xx54]

Hey mark, I’m thinking about getting a crawler. What one would you think is best for a beginner, I’ve been thinking about the Traxxas trx4 sport but I’m not sure

[@scottbryant9687]

Question What tires should I run on my Traxxas slash on a off-road track?

[@philfernandez6306]

Mark, which size manifold/header are you running in the video? 75mm/85mm?

[@twinturbotony93]

Have you ever ran a Reds engine in your trucks? I have a modded Reds r5r (rbmods) in my nb48.3 and it's a beast.

[@mikepevine3389]

anyone know what the Guages are for adjusting camber and toe?

[@dougbreese613]

Just got my truck together get it out this weekend to shake it down

[@paulnghiem1533]

How do you like the futaba radio vs the sanwa?

[@guilhermeleandrodopradopra8396]

Mike for you which is the best kity truggy nitro pro?

[@johnmiller4553]

KOOL BEANS 😁. SMASHED !!!!!!!!!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@GreekBoy2112.]

Hello. I just finished building my tekno nt 48 2.0. Is it normal for the steering to engage the front diff when i turn the wheels all the way right to left, kind of binds until the diff frees up...

[@alien3296]

I’m surprised KZbin actually gave me a notification on this video because I never get them from you even tho o have notifs on

[@rcmtb1052]

I miss the sound of my nitro!

[@joelgormley915]

Hey Mark what starter box are you using?

[@bombpoprc2023]

I been wanting to race 1/10 carpet. I been looking at 4wd buggys, especially the tekno eb410.2. I wanted to race short course but no one is racing short course in my area. Right now I have a slash and rustler and I'm planning to put in a hobby wing brushless system in.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Enjoy the weekend

[@acefreecell6079]

Nice to see the setup station in use, can you use it with the Revo?

[@ron486]

I always tell people if you want to wrench and tune your RC constantly, buy nitro. You want to run it and just have fun with it, buy electric.

[@never-stock-rc2968]

Evan take everyone to gapplebees buddy!!

[@MrBumbles2]

Nothing fixes a rc better than a marbled cookie brownie. Lol same dinner I had last night

[@RCVictoryLane]

Try some sticker tires on your next run on track so you can see how the truck runs.

[@Douger318]

what kinda fuel lid puller is that

[@jebmooney4898]

My little brothers slash 2wd vxl rear skid keeps breaking what do I do do I upgrade it to the lcg or upgrade it aluminum

[@The_RC_Dude]

By “skid” do you mean the chassis, or the rear skid plate, like what you’d land on after a rear-heavy landing?

[@RADIOACTIVE2000]

Pure gangster if you are married and wrench on the kitchen bench.

[@rcaddict7638]

Damn really with I could get into racing there’s just nothing near me we used to have a track but the tore it up to re do it about a year ago and haven’t touched it since..

[@VincentS327]

your son drives really good

[@The_RC_Dude]

First! Good morning Mark!

[@wheelie642]

Nitro fuel is gravity fed. A full tank makes the engine run richer than a low tank of fuel. So in order to keep your engine from flame out or stalling on a tank low on fuel, a tip is to start off with a full tank running rich. So near the end of the race when the fuel is low the engine is running optimal and won’t lean out or stall.

[@ashermorales8276]

That’s partially right partially wrong. The engine does get leaner throughout the run but not because of the fuel being gravity fed. The main reason the engine tune changes over the run is because it gets hotter and it gets a bit leaner. The tank is pressurized by the exhaust pipe (hence the fuel tubing from the exhaust pipe to the top of the fuel tank) and that pushes fuel through the fuel line and into the carb. If the fuel system on these cars relied on gravity to feed fuel into the engine, the engine would run really inconsistent and lean since they don’t create a vacuum to suck in fuel and air like a 4 stroke.

[@wheelie642]

@@ashermorales8276 We will have to agree to disagree. I’m aware of the pressure from the exhaust. I don’t believe it eliminates the effect of the gravity issue 100%. Maybe you are right and I’m wrong, But I disagree based what seems to have worked for me. Two differing options would make for an interesting lab test don’t you think. Maybe we could end up on an episode of Myth Busters .. 🤓

[@ashermorales8276]

@@wheelie642 I can agree on the fact that the pressure doesn’t fully eliminate it. Different pipes have different amounts of back pressure so that can effect it too. A pipe with less back pressure isn’t gonna push a whole bunch fuel into the carb so you’ll have to run your engine richer so it doesn’t lean out once it’s hot. This decreases your run time. In the opposite scenario, a pipe with more back pressure will push more fuel into the carb so you can run your lean your engine. In return, you get better fuel mileage. I have a different channel called MRC Designs. I might make a video testing an old JP2 pipe vs a new Hipex pipe and see the performance differences and run time differences. I believe that the newer pipes produce more back pressure than the old ones

[@tugie29]

Tuning with the bald tires does it affect your tuning or is it better to tune with fresh tires like you would race with?

[@daveshank1921]

Tune to your race conditions. So yes tune with decent tires on it at the track you run at.

[@rcpete7055]

What is A Squat we don't all understand but enjoy watching anyways please explain more🤔 only briefly for the noobs 😁😁

[@DH-dt9zj]

Never adjust you idle with the idle screw use the low speed needle to control idle

[@Vaterraman]

Can tell you are a racer

[@New2Kendo]

You set ride height with an empty tank? Shouldn't the Truck/Buggy be race ready when you do setup. Sorry but the Tekno Truggy Body looks fugly, but that's my opinion
