Thank you John :) Isn't it 3AM over there?!

Yep. It was after 3am

;)

Glad to help

Thank you for tuning in ! :)

Thanks! Yes I agree. Shame they couldn't stretch to a steel spur gear on this one though, stripped itself after a few jumps!

TheRCBiker ohh damn...upgrade maybe

Thanks 👍

Agreed! :)

I haven't actually done a tuning video of this one as I've done loads of tuning vids before, it's all the same process :) Have fun !

Awesome, good to hear

Sure does! :)

Thank you I am using a Rode Microphone with a Dead cat, it was just a very windy day which obviously proved too much for it!

Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks for the kind comment glad you enjoy them ! Kyosho Inferno vs Hyper 7 you mean? :)

TheRCBiker sorry the hyper SS 👍🏼

Would like to know the performance of both cars and which one out of the two you would prefer then that would be the buggy I’ll purchase. Thanks again 🚗

I couldn't really compare this with the Hyper SS Truggy as they're different platforms, Buggies are more agile and quicker than truggies. Truggies have bigger wheels & larger ground clearance so you can go a bit further off road with them. The Kyosho is a great car, it just needs a steel spur gear. I had to upgrade mine straight away as the plastic one stripped :) I think you get more for your money with Hobao.

TheRCBiker yes I see your point. Thanks again for the info. They are both nice RC cars I will look into it a bit more. will you be doing another video on both cars for performance of your choice

Thanks for the visit

Coming soon. Did you see the video I uploaded last night of the little edit ? :)

Just a sticky mount and an extension thingy! Wasn't overly successful :(

Thanks! Do you mean the Reely rex x?

Thank you, glad it helped. Flush with housing for LSN usually works for most engines yes. On mine I'd say it's about half a turn out from flush :)

@@TheRCBiker Great video--very helpful! Did you use the supplied Kyosho break-in disk?

Hi Jamie, I wasn't planning to because I've done so many tuning vids in the past :) And the process is all the same!

TheRCBiker ok roughly how many turns past flush it’s the best place

There's no such thing as a best place, fuel type, glow plug, outdoor temperature just to name a few are factors that influence optimum setting I could have three identical engines but they may all require a different setting Watch my videos and tune it according to how it's running

TheRCBiker ok thanks

Thanks for watching Richard

Hi Jojo, it sounds like it's running rich. Fouling plugs and spitting fuel are both normal during break in, but if you're getting through plugs like that you might need to lean it out a bit. Probably on the HSN.

What do you mean half lean ?

Hello, what is 4w? It'll be tuned properly when it's running at good temperature and "sounds" good. You can also go by the amount of smoke being emitted from the exhaust. If you watch some of my bashing videos you'll see some engines that are tuned reasonably well

No, no need to do that

@@TheRCBiker So the needle is only needed to adjust if I don't see a trail of blue smoke from the exhaust on my first tank?

Yes you can

Difficult to say but if you look after them they'll last years!! In terms of fuel amount it's pretty hard to say. 8 gallons is about 35 litres which is about 7 bottles of Nitro. That is quite a lot of fuel for such a small engine! But it will take you surprisingly a long time to work through 8 gallons!

Any 6v Hump Pack will be fine :)

It'll either be a dodgy glow plug or too rich Low speed needle setting

@@TheRCBiker ok thanks

Just remove it and wash it in Nitro!

@@TheRCBiker Thank you! So I don't have to use any kind of air filter oil?

I've not had the MP9. But the Neo 3.0 was good, although I'd look into getting a Hyper 7 instead as IMO you get more for your money.

Haha, I would stay away on match days! I can talk about more in depth but just cautious of making the video too long with too much waffle!

the car wont start either.

Hi there When you say exhaust is flooded... what do you mean? Sounds like the carb is set extremely rich thus sending too much fuel through to the engine. Or, fuel is travelling down the back pressure line to the exhaust. Do you have the fuel lines connected up correctly?

I was able to turn my car on it’s side and pour tons of nitro out of the exhaust. My fuel lines are set up properly.

TheRCBiker replaced the fuel and it started up nicely 😉

If you haven't touched the Low speed and the engine is running OK then do not touch it... The factory settings are only "safe" settings, they rarely are the best settings for the engine. HSN not sure on defaults but flush it to edges and do 1 turn in, and then just tune for performance

Thank you very very much for your reply. Thank you for your videos. You are excellent.

no worries :) make sure you're subscribed, more content coming!

Yes

What's the budget? :)

TheRCBiker around 200 -300 something around there

Nice, you can't go wrong with a Hyper 7! www.modelsport.co.uk/hobao-hyper-7-tq2-rtr-buggy-with-hyper-21-turbo-engine-2-4ghz-radio-black/rc-car-products/403868

TheRCBiker Thank you 🙏 and keep up the good videos

Kyosho I've never been a massive fan of Traxxas

Yes :)

Thanks

my settings won't work for you Return your carb to factory settings and then tune for performance according to my videos

Good man!

In my honest opinion it is very OTT but of course is up to you :) We all achieve the same result in the end. These ABC type engines actually need very little break in, hence why some manufacturers (traxxas included) have you driving the car on the first tank!

@@TheRCBiker well coming from an engineering background, most companies nowadays tell the customer what they want to hear, hence running in tends to disappear as a process, even on new cars. Agree, manufacturing technology has progressed etc but at the end of the day, engines, machines in general are still not made of cryptonite. Personally, I tend to take extra care and over-service stuff. The only trouble I've ever had with nitro engines is with ones I've bought second hand. To me, the running in period is the most important part that will ultimately determine how easy the engine will be to start in the future and how long it will last. But I accept everyone is different

@@dimi911 I agree.. you certainly can't go wrong by doing more tanks than what they say. I do always stress that 5 tanks is the minimum and it's still very "new" after that. I do find myself running it rich and avoiding long stretches of full throttle for at least another 3 tanks after :)

Did it go running off?

@@TheRCBiker nope luckly

@@TheRCBiker im gonna make a video on it :)

@@adamlitho6448 Very lucky!

I'm just working my way through the different manufacturers processes ;) It's these kind of videos that bring new people to the channel!

@@TheRCBiker true

Yes you're not the first person to tell me that! :)

You lucky sonofa..... 😁 actually engine break in is a must. Cost me an engine once before. A very good lesson for me

@@rayman1738 I was considering buying a cheap rc car and not breaking it in to see what happened :)

I don't have any cars for sale.

@@TheRCBiker ok boss

5 tanks has worked fine for the 100+ engines I've broken in... On the contrary some people say they've never broken in their engine and never had an issue!

@@TheRCBiker probably because you just bash and dont race. So you dont have your engine under a lot of strain for 45 minutes up to an hour.

Thanks for tuning in :)

I have a question i have a tmaxx i haven't use it in a long time but when i try to start it up it wont start when i do get it started up it has a hesitation or and a delay in movement

What should i do to get it started up again

I wouldn't say "complete myth" is entirely accurate I've broken in hundreds of engines various different ways and never had any adverse affects
