I find great joy in watching you nitrofy these little rc's! Good to have you back at it brother!

[@allaspectsrc4178]

Watching u tranform electric cars to nitro warms my heart bro ..awesome work

Don’t let the new kids tell you nitro is dead! KBN!

@@Rckid28 I'm 54 years old sorry but electric is so much fun versus troublesome gas power. And the fuel to expensive.

[@Lawless-RC]

Love it . Want it . Nitro gang lives

[@mitsuman5555]

You are a wizard.

[@a2rc]

Looks like a fun conversion project 💯 I was wondering why the idle was so high but, it makes sense now, since you are running a small SH7 flywheel setup. Higher rpm maybe needed to keep it from stalling. That’s probably why your head temp was higher as well Fuel line friction “brake” is interesting idea. Wonder if it would hold up long term? Thanks for the interesting vid🩷

[@mininitrorc]

@@a2rc I've done fuel line friction on most of my swaps. It's easy-ish since none of these transmissions were built with a brake disk of any kind in mind, but the clutch bell is always engaged with the transmission. I have yet to see any serious wear on the fuel line brake in any of my builds, but that's the cool part, even if it wears out it's just fuel line tubing. $3 buy some more 🤷

[@Mini-z1994]

@@mininitrorc Would the chassis allow you to put on hex wideners ? that would help with stability I'd imagine, maybe toss some monster truck wheels on there as well for the fun of it & see how it does in the grass.

[@mininitrorc]

@@Mini-z1994 I think I would sooner just swap the trx-4MT chassis and have all of that.

[@Malevolent502]

So cool! Make nitro great again!

[@w59jkwasd]

That's awesome. I wonder if a little more weight like a lead fishing weight in the front would help counterbalance the weight of the engine in the back a little better..? I'm no expert, though. You've inspired me to do something with one of the two spare sportwerks .05 engines that I've had sitting on a shelf for a while. I'm thinkin' somethin' along the lines of a 1/18 or 1/16 Batmobile. Lol I love DC or Marvel anything, a nitro Batmobile would be badass. Anyways, cool build man!

[@mininitrorc]

@@w59jkwasd yeah, maybe, but I think the bigger issue is it's pretty top-heavy with the hard plastic body and Nitro motor. I never claimed these swaps were good performers, I just like doing them. Thanks for watching!

[@w59jkwasd]

@mininitrorc absolutely. Oh, yeah. I'm just thinking out loud. I noticed the top heaviness as well. I have like an OCD nerd thing and would be sitting there tinkering on it too. Lol

[@playanddisplay3636]

This is so cool.

[@Blake-fz7ed]

That sounds very lean. Do you have a hose for the exhaust to scavenge fuel correctly?

[@mininitrorc]

@@Blake-fz7ed scavenge fuel? No, but I do have a line supplying exhaust pressure to the fuel tank

[@Blake-fz7ed]

@mininitrorc what I meant. I saw no oil smoke at all try richening it a tad hsn

[@mininitrorc]

@@Blake-fz7ed oh it's rich I promise.

[@shadowbird]

You never know .. I have never seen anyone run a nitro indoors.

[@DadsRCGaragePNW]

Was just thinking the same thing. I would be a tad pissed if I was the manager or owner. Some customers (older crowd) have lung problems and that could flair it up. Not like it’s propane powered lol

[@mininitrorc]

@@DadsRCGaragePNW It's a hobby store, we test and tune nitro and gas in here all the time. The good thing is it's fairly large, open, and with a huge entrance to a huge mall, so fumes disperse quickly. Honestly I'm about the only one who does complain about it burning my eyes lol.

[@caseys_cozy_garage]

Wow this is so cool

[@trimshady5180]

Why not gear it down more? It’s like 3x as fast as it needs to be for any driving

[@mininitrorc]

@@Mckhus I tried. This is as low as I could get it with the transmission and "spur" gear restrictions. I might be able to mess with the diffs but that wouldn't change much.

[@Bellechassenitromaniac]

[@HOBBYRACING]

Nitro is wanderful but not quite actually fitting the crawlers but excellent work though worth to try.

[@EriMCardenasRC]

Traxxas will see this video and do a “New Nitro TRX4M”

[@mininitrorc]

@@EriMCardenasRC doubtful, they didn't even reply to my messages when I made a nitro 1/16 slash.... but we can dream.

[@TestECull]

And people say nitro can't crawl 🤣😆 The biggest issue I have crawling my Mad Crusher GP is it's enormous compared to a typical crawler and just can't fit in the gates.

[@zackjay71]

Idle down a touch

[@mininitrorc]

@@zackjay71 high idle doesn't bother me. I'd rather idle high than low.

[@evanmeneilley3228]

Lower the idle down by richening the low speed needle please. It’s running lean

[@mininitrorc]

This engine only has a high speed needle. I've richened it pretty aggressively.

[@mininitrorc]

Eh, not really. Small flywheel, needs a lot of starter speed and the carb has no LSN so it is easy to flood

[@jeffallsbrook3999]

Nitro will never make a comeback. Electric is too good now and way faster. Way less trouble.

[@mininitrorc]

@@jeffallsbrook3999 I agree, which might sound weird coming from a channel about nitro. But nitro sure is cool, and that's all I'm here for

[@fstnd]

imagine a fifth scale going through very tall grass, then your crawler. Obviously just the 5th scale will make it, but you still run a crawler for the same reason as others run nitro: fun👍

[@jeffallsbrook3999]

I have a few Nitro cars and a few electric cars. But I never get the Nitro cars out 'cause they're too much trouble. Same with my helicopters . My gas heli just sit there. All I fly now is my electric helicopters. The sound of gas is cool but to much work when you don't have lot of time on your hands.

[@Bennyboy1212-f4e]

Electric has no character, just like real cars. EVs are just white goods, no-one lusts after one, boys don't have posters with Teslas on. I run nitro and totally agree it's more hassle, more expensive, slower and more annoying. But the noise!
