Scrap Nitro RC Engine Will It Run? Thunder Tiger .28 Pro!

[@Troysrc]

17:36 Great video looked forward to seeing it run. By the way It's not compression that's making it tight to pull it's the piston pinching on the top of the sleeve so after running for a while it should settle.

[@Chris-HC]

Nice fix buddy, Nothing better than fixing up old junk. Those sodding pull starts are a pain. Almost had a new engine heater go up on me yesterday. A new SkyRC 12v.

[@HaggardRC]

Can’t get the stuff these days quality has gone out the window

[@oojimmyflip]

Mines 25 years old and still runs beautiful, Ive put a rotstart on it cos the compression is so high, it loves the heat to, defo give it a blast they are powerful engines even in a 1/8th scale car Ive still got the instruction manual for my Thunder Tiger ST1 with a .28 pro engine and the factory settings are low speed 6 and a 1/2 turns out / High speed 2 and 3/4 turns out and throttle position 5mm, just in case you want them but knowing you you wont need them.

[@johnwardle9667]

Can you still get liners and pistons for these engines? I can't seem to find any and I might need a set. Trying to revive a water damaged engine and the bearings are crusty as anything..

[@BenshobbyStuff]

loosen the plug to start that engine mate think it needed shimms :)

[@speckledjim_]

My sister does a similar thing, I lend her something and she holds on to it so long that when I ask for it back she thinks it's hers. I've started to make a note so I can show her - look I lent it to you on this date :)

[@HaggardRC]

The bloke I lent my puller to stopped talking to me a few years ago after he stole 100L of diesel from me. I’ve tried phoning him to get my puller back but he won’t answer.

[@speckledjim_]

@@HaggardRC sorry about that man, sometimes we have to learn the hard way

[@HaggardRC]

It’s just life, these things happen 😎🤪

[@Bandito071]

I bought a thunder tiger st1 about 20yrs ago. It has a .28 pro in it and it still runs as good today as it ever did. Great little engine ! If you do find a good pullstart for it id love to know, ive been bump starting mine for months at this point ....

[@HaggardRC]

Haha, I’m sure there are some out there

[@andrewgates9518]

I picked up a t.t 28 pro dual start... f#*king thing wont go in any of my rigs tho, dual lenth a issue as well as crank lenth

[@garyloades5188]

Servo savers are cool..but supersers are hot😂

[@HaggardRC]

😂😂

[@s.o.sSavage]

Well done mate you managed it! I think you enjoyed that! The price of the parts? Everything is so expensive now, and people even want sill money for stuff😂 thanks for the vid dude!

[@MR.B.1620]

This video makes me curious as to what all is interchangeable with these? I'm gathering some parts, bits and pieces and am curious

[@HaggardRC]

I know Losi made their own version

[@MR.B.1620]

I picked up a Redcat earthquake that has no starter pin. There's a plate but no pin. Redcat is out of stock. Do you have a suggestion on what might work or am I just bullocks Out lol. ​@@HaggardRC

[@beandean356]

Then the music comes on and it sounds so good on my stereo system that im embarrassed to tell you how much it cost.

[@HaggardRC]

I’m not sure if that’s good or bad lol

[@BenshobbyStuff]

yeah im the same sound system cost more than i care to admit lol

[@beandean356]

@@HaggardRC No you have good taste in music it just come on and sounded sweet and it reminds me why i spent that crazy money on a hifi system.

[@beandean356]

@@BenshobbyStuff Yeah that quality sound that most people dont get when using smart phones and standard pc speakers.

[@BenshobbyStuff]

yeah the music haggard played sounded awesome. logitec z906 im using mate, i was almost blown away lol@@beandean356

[@barrycartwright8400]

will a fly wheel fit from from a pro 18 engine i have one in pieces you can have it if you like

[@HaggardRC]

To be honest I don’t know if it’ll fit 😅

[@rwt8851]

@@HaggardRC Yea cause you don't know anything.

[@HaggardRC]

That’s right 😆

[@purpledonatello]

Still dont understand why the previous owner had to dismantle the engine leaving parts scatter all over the place? How can you lose the heat sink???????

[@HaggardRC]

I don’t really know what the deal is with it… he sent it with a car I bought from him lol.

[@eduardololi1770]

Hello guys can anyone help me? I just bought one. It starts very accelerated but it stop's working. Anyone knows default settings? Or a point to adjust it?

[@TerrySmithh]

Hi just a quick question can a 21 corb fits on a 25 engine my kyosho seems to cut out when I break

[@HaggardRC]

Just set the linkages properly mate.

[@MR.B.1620]

Hair band has a complete different meaning in the states 😅😂

[@HaggardRC]

[@stevehilligoss4982]

[@stevehilligoss4982]

I have a bad factory carb.I put a Dynamite big red .28 carb on it. We shale see. Woooo. Love the therapy vid mate. Take care.💯💥👍👊🏻

[@tedspurgeon6658]

Did u put in head shims?probably why the compression so high! Good video

[@HaggardRC]

Absolutely not, I didn’t have any.

[@tedspurgeon6658]

@HaggardRC it mite be ok I ran mine with out the shims went through glow plugs

[@HaggardRC]

@tedspurgeon6658 I’m sure it’ll be fine, if it’s not I’ll buy some shims… 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@CrazyDad226]

I have some head sims if you need Haggard! Wooo Maximum compression please!! You rock mate😊

[@HaggardRC]

Always need max compression dude

[@BenshobbyStuff]

RC scrapyard sells comlete sh*te mate stay away from there. all the stuff is aliexpress stuff marked up at premium price.. i had metal spur gear from there and it melted like cheese within 5 minutes of use yet the plastic one i still have because it run fine on that for months of daily use... complete rip off of a place and told me it was my fault!!! lmao...

[@alexgarrod9093]

Nice one bud

[@HaggardRC]

It’s the engine you sent with that car! :)

[@sammiller8497]

Did you check the bearings in that engine ,i know you know what you are doing , when i rebuild used engines the first thing i do is change the bearings , maybe a headshim ?

[@HaggardRC]

As I said in the video, they seem alright but not ideal… if they fail they fail 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@bowi73]

nice video like it ,the high compression it's because you have no head shims on it forgot them 😉😉

[@HaggardRC]

Who needs shims they're for wimps lol

[@alexgarrod9093]

Sweet bud

[@jackberry1919]

Ive got a pro 21R for sale if your interested?🙂

[@alexgarrod9093]

Oh ok dude
