Small Tweaks for Success: Nitro MP9 RTR to 1/8 Race Buggy - Part 3

[@Truth_Spoken]

Arguably, the greatest series you’ve done.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Arguably, the best comment we've ever received. -Brett

[@tlfbshti364]

Regardless of topic, Amain and Brett produce some of the BEST rc content out there!!!

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Thank you Dr Brown. That makes me happy in the same way as new tires... well almost. -Brett

[@krenkosenforcer]

I really wish Brett would forget to end the video more often! That was great

Probably the best non-professional speaker I’ve seen on KZbin. Amazing talent. I don’t even have an RC car and watched all four videos on this. Lol

[@eriku7205]

2022 and still best episode..I don’t why 🤔

[@RCWatson]

Dude the end of that had me in stitches!!

[@ilikerealflight]

So im not the only who can spend hours endlessly playing with an rc's suspension and yet accomplish nothin at the end??

[@FringeMinority]

Hilarious and awesomely entertaining! Keep up the good work, Brett! Ohhhh... forgot to mention, educational as well 😁

[@dangrows_za4798]

Brent this is brilliant! love love love this video. and yeah there were some serious characters in the SL video lol! bro you taught be about the heat resistant tape (mind blown) and a fresh off the block noob whos spent 6 months doing research before starting my purchase path, this serious is GOLD! Hope that back plate arrives soon, thanks for this series yall started this is exactly what someone like me needed!!!!!!!!!

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Thanks Daniel! Let me know if you need any help, have questions, or just need some recommendations. -Brett

[@RL-RL]

Excellent progress. The extra fuel line is a great choice. When running at home and you flip over, it's nice not to run out of fuel and just flip it over and carry on.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Very true. Really disappointing when you run to your car and it dies just as you get there. -Brett

[@GrotrianSeiler]

This was such a great series. I hope you consider doing it again. Love the MP9.

[@jdsstegman]

A trick I learned from a older guy is to take about 1/4 and inch of fuel tubing and put it over the fuel line. It will squeeze down on the fuel line and make it tighter than those fuel line clamps. And way cheaper.

[@jbrc1322]

Just getting back into the nitro gang, so this series is super helpful. Brett- your comedy is highly under rated.

[@kablah777]

The ending damn near killed me!!!! Brap! Brap Drop, Brap! Drop. Freaking priceless!!!!!

[@garrettfeury3505]

Wish amain would show some more videos of the nitro buggy ripping and racing. Love nitro always and forever!

[@richardcarr6493]

l m glad you make these videos for everyone .Gives us a proper heads on what to expect , because there s many of us who had to learn the hard way :)

[@nitrogas5719]

Don’t worry about it Brett, I also licked my tires when I got them, you can really taste the traction lol

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Exactly! They taste like traction. -Brett

[@alajeunesse254]

Loving this series! And as much fun as it is to watch it really is helpful, thanks!

Thank you. Really appreciate the comment. -Brett

[@xb10hazardx]

Even though I am a Heli guy I really enjoy watching your videos you do a great job!

[@zeno6111753]

A great video series guys! And damn... there IS something about opening a new set of tires. Its like rubber crack :P

[@AMain_Hobbies]

YES! Arguably, new tires are the key to happiness. -Brett

[@andyhamilton2202]

Hahaha nice video guys. Got some tips and had some laughs. Worth the watch. 👌 #BraaaapBraap

[@brandonbentley8532]

For the fuel line clips just cut some quarter inch bits of full line and slip the over the fuel line ends with some needle nosed pliers to act as hose clamps. Weighs less and are free.

[@michaeldorich4485]

Excellent series.

[@GrumpyOldManRC]

Back when I flew planes, we used something we called a klunk on the end of the fuel line in the tank. This most times had a small weighted filter built to a heavier brass piece that ensured that the fuel line always remained down in the fuel no matter which way the plane was oriented. RC nitro cars should have these also so if the car was upside down, the engine would still get fuel no matter what. Even an old cripple like me would have time to get to the upside down car before it could possibly run out of fuel. Brett was huffing too much of whatever that was he shot through the fuel tubing. He'll be fine.😮👌😁

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Haha. Most nitro buggies these days have a clunk, I just don't think this one does. -Brett

[@GrumpyOldManRC]

Well, that's just unacceptable and must be redone. I hardly ever watch any store/manufacturer's videos as they are to full of propaganda, but I do watch all of your videos, not AMain's. 😎😁

[@mzondi1970]

Just now getting into RC. I did it in the 80s but it's World different now. I ordered a Kyosho buggy like this from you but the electric version. Always wanted a Nitro too scared I would never get it running correctly. Maybe my next one will be Nitro

[@doctajuice]

They seem intimidating at first but once you get into it everything is pretty simple. Especially if you like the tuning and tinkering side of the hobby nitro is awesome

[@cococockatoo9896]

I love this series, Great Work !

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Thank you Sir. -Brett

[@blakecarrier4231]

[@lfodh1]

Can the fuel filter in this video clean, re oiled and re used?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Some filters can be taken apart and cleaned, some cannot. But in this video, I don't believe we used a fuel filter. -Brett

[@lfodh1]

@@AMain_Hobbies I'm sorry I meant the air filter in the video. It was a long day for me.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

@@lfodh1 Hey, that's ok Mike. But yes you can clean the air filters with warm water and soap. Then let it completely dry, and apply air filter oil to the clean foam. -Brett

[@dylanchadderton1]

what is that carpet track next to the offroad 1/8th scale dirt track? Is that for 1/10th off road or 1/8th?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

1/10 carpet. For the 2wd and 4wd buggies, or whatever else people bring. The jumps are foam that just sit there, so they can be removed with two guys to drive some on-road if wanted. -Brett

[@jacobhungerford4206]

[@shmave20]

Best ending ever

[@callummcneill2774]

[@vzmoto2476]

You should put some fuel tubing on the shocks so it doesnt bottom out

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Interesting. Not a bad idea. -Brett

[@the-change-777]

What too do if throttle servos keep shorting out I trimmed throttle too max and this is my secound one

[@sebtarta]

All that hard work to add a "heat shield" to the tank, lets run the main fuel line and have it sit right over the exhaust. You might want to rethink that fuel line.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

True. Space is very limited so it was challenging to find an arrangement that worked. We may change it in the future; we'll give it a try and see how it works out. Thanks. -Brett

[@nashwarrick]

I want you guys to know y’all sold me a MP9 readyset after watching this video series.Just hope I can find I track here in North Ga..........I know I will spend I lot more making it what it needs to be but that ok I need something to do Thanks Amain........

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Great Nash! It's such a great platform, I don't think you'll be disappointed. And as long as you have loctite in all the necessary nooks and crannies, she'll battle for you until the end. Let me know if you have any questions or issues come up! -Brett

[@keithrx3c]

Will the stock servo's be good enough or will they be upgraded too, and will there be an engine upgrade as well?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

As time goes on, we'll want more competition-grade servos and engine. But for right now, they seem ok. Stay tuned. -Brett

[@namn123]

Awsome video!!!!!

[@metalmansean6040]

isnt the fuel tank from kyosho designed to give fuel to the motor when it flips over

[@LuisLPRCs]

Very Nice! 😎😎

[@skagerstrom]

Hahah :D Not that intersted in nitro cars but these videos are just so funny :p

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Thanks for watching Roger! -Brett

[@alfiebailey6165]

Kinda smells like horse powaaaa, wanted you to say that so much( flash from the past( think you where reviewing the protec samurai engine)) ill settle for traction though, it is more fitting i suppose. Awesome series 👍👍

[@seadeval7885]

But the exhaust tube dosent carry fuel it just pushes fuel so what's the point of making that tube longer it would only benefit from makeing the intake fuel line longer

[@AMain_Hobbies]

We changed the exhaust tubing at the same time so all the fuel tubing would match. And it also gives us piece of mind the tubing is fresh and new. -Brett

[@Aladinscave]

Correct me if I'm wrong but that feul line looked like it was right next to the exhaust? Will that not heat up to much?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

It does heat up but nothing will burn or melt. With the way the exhaust pipe orients the wire, there are few options to change the fuel line routing, so it's pretty common to run the line like this. -Brett

[@NeoIsrafil]

That last section is what happens when you huff the nitro...lol

[@ZombieGamingMetalhead]

Got a question about fuel. Does nitro fuel go bad as it sits?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Great question! Nitro fuel can sit for a few years and be ok for use, but it really depends on how it is stored. Fuel likes to be stored in cool, dark and dry places, with minimal temperature fluctuations. Exposure to air can make it go bad as well. We recommend using quarts of fuel, not gallons, because you use them faster and open/close them fewer times. If the fuel looks discolored, don't use it. And try not to store them on a concrete slab, like the garage floor; concrete stores moisture which can effect he floor. -Brett

[@ZombieGamingMetalhead]

@@AMain_Hobbies thanks for the info. Does the color change or anything when it's old

[@AMain_Hobbies]

It shouldn't. The fuel wants to absorb moisture so ensure the cap is tight and it's stored in a dry place. If the fuel starts to be really watery, or gummy, it's bad. -Brett

[@shaunkoger4550]

I don’t not like RTR’s it like someone had all the fun building it and you get what’s left over lol

[@craigmac1516]

sky rc makes the same switch with led and lipo light for like 12 bucks on ebay...

[@Nickwillfixit]

I just loop the fuell line in a loop feed to the fuel cap

[@waltwalt9632]

I have adjustable shocks like that on my buggy how do you adjust them evenly

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Typically you use calipers to measure the distance from the spring twister nut to the top shock cap and ensure distance is the same. From there, you can mark a line in the twister nut (with a little paint, or a dremel) so you know when you've turned it a full revolution around, and do the same amount of twists on each side. Having a line in the nut really helps out if you're track side and want to make little adjustments quickly. -Brett

[@jakechase3576]

What are the diff oil weights out of the box

[@AMain_Hobbies]

The diffs don't come tuned or anything, I think it's just grease inside, or 5k'ish fluid (around that). -Brett

[@kikiautorcman787B]

You look like Lars Ulrich (Metallica) but you are more interesting... 😁🏎️🏁🤓

[@darrinpennington]

Do these nitro cars not utilize a "clunk" in the fuel tank?

It's great for everything nitro related. The only down side is it's 1/8 size is a little larger than your standard 1/10 vehicles, but it's an amazing vehicle. -Brett

[@ajacks8007]

AMain Hobbies thank you for the reply! I’m going to buy one tomorrow for me and my 13 year old. I’ve owned a few nitros in years past and they were indeed 1/10 scale, my son will love the bigger vehicle now that he’s older! Thanks again Brett!

[@captainronify]

Is it supposed to chassis slap so hard on landing?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Well... ideally no, but it happens a lot with these 1/8 buggies and truggies. The use of an aluminum chassis helps counter the abuse. Most U.S.A. 1/8 tracks are "motocross" style, with very large jumps, so chassis slaps are common. -Brett

[@novideosnovideos544]

Did you run with or without a venturi? If so, which one did you use?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

I believe there was a venturi in there, but don't remember which one. It's whatever venturi the engine came with, we never changed it. -Brett
