Rajaa thanks for another great video but typically most bearings are damaged during the removal process because they are removed by pulling on the center race of the bearing which puts incredible lateral forces on the entire bearing this is why all bearing manufacturers or OEM's will always tell you to discard a pulled bearing.

[@rajaa111]

Thats great info brotha, I always take my bearings out with the heat method, normally I discard the bearings but this one I was able to save.

[@Shellbackrc]

Now i want to get an engine to tear down and rebuild thanks for the inspiration!

[@bigcrsdog]

Dope video rajaa. Learn lot from this video thanks Brotha

[@rajaa111]

Thanks brotha, I’m glad it could help 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@jdportwerks6795]

Motor looks good! I don’t have any experience with these FX motors but they do look promising and from your videos that I’ve seen it looks like they boogie also! I’m not sure if you were able to ever try a old Werks motor B5 is one of my favorite go to motors that I buy whenever I see used ones out there that still have somewhat of good compression and or not beat up but I’ll buy those relatively cheap and use them till there’s nothing left😁

[@Daniel-lu2xo]

Your Videos are so Good🔥🔥i Can watch it all day Long 😁

[@rajaa111]

Thanks brotha, I appreciate the love

[@mc83ssls1]

That’s how it’s done ✅ great info brotha thanks 🙏 i think I was looking at this same engine good to see it went to a you bro 😎👍🏾👍🏾💯

[@rajaa111]

Thanks brotha, it wasn't to bad just the rear bearing needed some love,

[@jdportwerks6795]

Steel wool on my dremel 120 grit and all that rust be gone🤟🏼 and while it’s rotating it helps the ball bearings rotate as well either sideways or back-and-forth spraying either fuel or alcohol or even marvel mystery.

My man, thanks

[@Lucaradda]

At 14:04 you can see, that there is a little spot on the crankpin. There is no dlc coating on this spot. At my fx engine, it is the same. Is that normal wear?

[@rajaa111]

Yes that’s wear from the con rod, it happens after awhile... it’s perfectly normal

[@Lucaradda]

Thank you

[@kwikNvaracing]

Appreciate the video. Basically going thru all your vids. Getting real close to pulling the trigger on a nitro buggy Question or your opinion. Is there a engine easier to work on or service than others? Or basically all the same? Thanks again.

How do you get the bearings out. My hpi 15ss is the same way.

[@cbrwix]

Good shit, you brought her back to life. 😁 That's awesome you got a great deal on the engine. I didnt know there was a race coming up. Are you getting notifications from RC Signup, or just checking out where they are? Let me know? Thanks bro!!! 🤛

[@rajaa111]

No you don't get any notifications from rcsignup, I just put them on my calendar, The next race is in Savannah, Ga called the colonel's winter classic, you can look it up on Facebook

[@cbrwix]

@@rajaa111 Yeah I saw it, but dam thats a 10 Hour drive for me from Pittsburgh, Your in Philly right? Kinda far as well for you isnt it?

[@rajaa111]

CBR Wix yeah it’s about the same for me, maybe 11 hours I think, the things you have to do to run!!!!

[@cbrwix]

@@rajaa111 I feel ya hell yea. I prolly wont make that one but you will see me come spring, lol for sure. I cant wait. Im so looking forward to hitting the track.

[@brionitro3515]

Great vid as usual. How do you know if a front bearing is bad? My nova 28-8 is having rich conditions even when it’s warms up meaning I’ll getting A ton of smoke and it sounds gurgley. It will run fine for a few then start to stutter. Sad thing is it’s a fairly new engine, just broken in.

[@rajaa111]

Usually when the front bearing is bad the engine will run lean, and will not idle or stay on, first check your air filter make sure you don't have excess amounts of oil on it, then check your glow plug it may be going bad, i would try a new glow plug just to be on the safe side, if that doesn't fix the problem I would take the carb apart and clean it.

[@brionitro3515]

rajaa111 I tried a new glow plug but has the same issue. I’ll check the carb but I can’t see it being that dirty because I run mostly on-road.

[@adamdyar9189]

What you use to pull your bearings?

[@rajaa111]

I use the heat method I have video's on how to take them out and re install them kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ_QnmSIrreIa7c

[@driver_18]

How did you take out the bearings? Is there a proper procedure??

[@rajaa111]

With a heat gun, watch my other video on removing the engine bearing kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ_QnmSIrreIa7c

[@driver_18]

rajaa111 awesome, thanks!

[@TheBeardedGrump]

I'll run it just send it my way. Lol looks like you got a great deal on that!

[@rajaa111]

You might hurt yourself...lol

[@TheBeardedGrump]

@@rajaa111 probably would lol

[@sendit2873]

man I am allergic to bees I look like a bitch swating and dancing around lmao love the vids man thank you for all the good knowledge

[@phillyrcreese4067]

💩 bees 🐝😂😂😂 very informative man I hate buying used nitro engines I only buy them if they’re no longer made nice vid 😎👍🏾👊🏾

[@omarrjones5730]

Nice track where is this

[@rajaa111]

This was the mushroom bowl in Kenneth square, pa... it’s closed down now which was a shame. This track was around for years

[@stuartarthur6280]

Damn bees and sh!t 🤣🤣... I feel your pain brother

[@gearheadaddict7183]

Great 👍🏻 info on engines bro. Keep the content rollin.. “F**King bees 🐝 and shit” lol 😂 ima also pick up an FX soon lmk where is best place to purchase a new one.... thanks.

[@rajaa111]

Thanks brotha, best place right now is rcamerica.com, Amain has the k501 which is a 5 port

[@gearheadaddict7183]

rajaa111 thanks man I appreciate your time knowledge, tips and tricks bro. You take it easy

[@treverlund1948]

Ok my guy, you gotta go to the dirt bike store or auto store, and pick up the k&n airfilter oil cleaner. It's in a black spray bottle, that is the best stuff iv ever used for carbon and to clean the inside of my engines, I promise you, that carbon will fall off, no scrubbing required. Give it a shot.

[@rajaa111]

Thanks brotha, I have to try it... I use to have some of that k&n air filter cleaner never thought to use it to clean carbon off!!! Nice tip brotha!!!!

[@adamforman9264]

Avid bearing company has good prices,you can get a bearing kit for your car&motor

[@LawrenceTimme]

Lol. Whoever built the track next to the pond lol. That water is a fly magnet

[@rajaa111]

[@allentraylor5659]

[@rajaa111]

[@rcquint1899]
