Tuning the Thunder Tiger Mirage Vspec Nitro Buggy for Race Day!!!!

[@satorrotas]

The settings of these gasoline rc are a bit long to do but once you find the right setting it's the best, good job !!

[@soflorclife6970]

Agreed my my friend, and she’s almost ready to hurt some feelings on the race track 😎🤙🏼 thanks for watching brother 🤜🏻🤛🏼

Looking sick dude cant wait to see you race i got into 1/8 buggy racing and i will never turn back 👊

[@soflorclife6970]

Thanks dude, I can’t wait to see what she’s got out there! I love this buggy

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Those nitro cras are a pain lol good work 👍

[@soflorclife6970]

But they are soooooo fun and smell soooooo good 🤪👍🏼

[@jdpaslRC]

Excellent. I would not mess with idle and low speed needle. Leave 1mm gap open from turning Idle needle. Just adjusting for speed on high speed needle. You like to go fast! LOL

[@soflorclife6970]

Thanks for the tips Jd and glad you enjoyed brother! 👊🏼😁👍🏼 yes I like go fast things haha

[@RCModSquad]

She’s sounding good towards the end. 😃👍🏻

[@soflorclife6970]

Thanks! Yeah I think she’s just about ready for the track 👍🏼

[@barryh8922]

nice

[@soflorclife6970]

Thanks man

[@norcalrc]

Damn I didn’t know you were going racing

[@soflorclife6970]

Well not professional, they won’t like my driving style hahaha but I go every other Sunday to race at the dirt tracks for fun there’s always someone out there 🤙🏼

[@EugeneRCDrezgalovo48rus]

Very good 👍🔥🔥🔥

[@soflorclife6970]

Thanks brother 👊🏼😁👍🏼

[@ShenRC]

Looking good bud! I have to say a quick pull in and flip of the gas cap and a quick fill sure beats waiting almost a hour for a battery to charge! Long live nitro!!

[@brysonkuhn3290]

Nitro seems sooooo cool. Would you recommend getting one? T-maxx's are like 120-200 near me and I have knowledge of tuning motors and RCs. The only issue I have is maintenance costs

[@ShenRC]

@@brysonkuhn3290 Hi if you like tinkering around with a real motor they are very fun to run and the sound they make is just awesome. The downside now a days due to brushless and lipo batteries the nitro fuel got expensive because it's not as popular as it used to be, I found VP fuels 20% basher blend on amazon for a quart it was under $15.00 shipped which is a good price compared to most other qurt nitro blends and VP supposed to be really good stuff. I used to get a gallon back in the day for $20.00 bucks!

[@soflorclife6970]

Heck yeah Steve! I think k I’ll always have a spot on my shelf for a nitro or two haha 👊🏼😁👍🏼

[@soflorclife6970]

Bryson a TMAXX for 120-200 is a good deal and they are classics 👊🏼😎👍🏼

[@brysonkuhn3290]

@@ShenRC yeah lipo w/ brushless is easier and cheaper to run for similar speed. I've never driven a nitro but it's seems like its more of the feeling you get driving it rather than actual performance stats

[@islandrc-duke1972]

sounds awesome,nice tune up

[@soflorclife6970]

Thanks brother!

[@panzadeviborarc9613]

[@soflorclife6970]

You know it bro 👊🏼😁👍🏼💯

[@Rust_valley_adventures]

The mirage was the first of the eb4 buggy platform .. I still got 2 of them here and a buggy for spares ... factory settings are all screws flush in their housings and throttle gap just under 1mm for idle

[@ShaliAnn]

It sounds great ! Superb share Justin 👍🏽. Have an awesome day.

[@soflorclife6970]

Thank you and you as well my friend!

[@3TRCGarage]

That's cool dude, The Thunder Tiger runs like a real performance car or old school muscle car, it pops and buzzes, surprised flames didn't shoot out of the exhaust like a real race car 😀. I have an Audi S5 that runs like crap until it warms up and the valves open up then it sings and gets you to 60mph in about 4 seconds.

[@soflorclife6970]

Thanks big bro, haha maybe at night time we may be able to see something. Haha that cool bro she sounds like a real screamer! 🏎💨

[@bobaque70]

Nice brother

[@soflorclife6970]

Thank you my brother 🤜🏻🤛🏼

[@mypassionrc-studioxd40lous66]

I think my hearing is starting to go, sounded the same to me 😁🏜🙏guess you have to have a little mechanic in you to tell the difference. Either way you got the best end of the deal a great vintage hard to get car for a trailer you can build anytime. Are you trying to get a toe modeling job lately. Oh I hear it now smoother 🏜🙏😁holy smokes you got a winner, oh cookie is bad ass. Mine would be under the bed

[@soflorclife6970]

Yeah man I was stoked to get this plus an excavator (cheap one) plus some cash.... but that trailer was about the biggest I’ve ever done. 😅👍🏼 hahaha I knew I should’ve locked out those toe shots 😂 yeah cookie kicks butt

[@CoachD386]

Sounds good fam 💪🏾💯

[@soflorclife6970]

Much appreciated big bro 💯👊🏼

[@joelfrend4994]

Really enjoyed the 2 videos on this buggy! I just picked one up today. Any idea what body might fit the Mirage? I can't find original one. Thanks!

[@drewcirino8130]

I also just picked one up also looking for body so if ya figure it out lmk

[@thescalemodelcarguychannel8681]

Bad Ass!!

[@soflorclife6970]

[@evanduncan25]

My great uncle wants to give me his but it has a blown up motor. I’m not sure if there are still parts I can get or where to find them.

[@luispimentel8113]

[@Rust_valley_adventures]

[@soflorclife6970]

Thank you for the info I’ll fix that 🤝
