I've seen far too many people get their new engines 'tuned' over the box by some expert. And when it comes to running laps, the engine is either too lean/rich so these same people will say brand XYZ is notoriously bad at getting a proper tune. Dont get me wrong. I have been following Adam's break-in method for years on my Novarossi /OS and I got it tuned to my liking. Doesnt flame out or overheat, just constant power. Now if only I can download his driving skills as well 😅

Awesome video, thanks for all your information and other resources. Just a weekend warrior racer here that loves the sound, smell, and characteristics of an actual internal combustion engine in my RC. Your KZfaq and website has helped a lot, even in tuning my nitro bashers

I believe thats a main reason some people give up on nitro engines because of some failire at the clutch or wrong glowplug or not sealed right etc, etc or engine bearings important the big bearing inside the engine and a lot of other things especially the carb.

Clutch issues and rear bearing issues get misdiagnosed as a bad tune so often. I’m guilty of it too.

@@cbh148 me self i had a old lrp z28 spec 3 was runnning great forget to change the engine bearing inside after 10 litres of running and at some day the engine was running great it revs really high temp was around 135 celsius but and then the engine stops and yeah the result big engine bearing inside was just dfemolished. ME SELF IM DOING SOMETIMES A NEWBIE MISTAKES LIKE THAT BUT IM STILL LEARNING AND LOVE NITRO RC THE SMELL THE SOUND E VERYTHING (((((( sorry for my english i know its not the best)))

Yes, with nitro there are a lot of variables and lots to maintain. Engine and clutch maintenance is key.

Do you have preference/knowlegde in head shimming when it comes to large elevation changes between tracks?

Yes, I have a video for that as well. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJZ1es18vpy3aGw.htmlsi=ii6trTnan-70JJdg

So tuning the engine running on a parking lot is better than tuning it on the box..... is this correct?
@AdamDrake 2 ай бұрын
Correct
@philfernandez6306 2 ай бұрын
@@AdamDrake okay ... wow. I usually arrive late at a race and don't have time to run at the track and tune my engine. So I can just go out of the property (racetrack) and tune the engine (running it around) at the parking lot rather than tuning on a box in my pit area. thanks man

Adam, when I experience a flameout when my engine is up to temperature (brand new engine), then I can't get it to restart. I can see that fuel is trying to enter the carb, but seems like heat is keeping it from entering the case and the car does not want to start until it cools off. I am having this issue with one car and it seems like car-related but I can't believe that this is a car-related issue. What am I doing wrong?
@kyronrc 2 ай бұрын
can be glow plug or wrong compression ration for the nitro percentage you are using. You can adjust that with head shims.
@marcowerner8739 2 ай бұрын
@@kyronrc I threw a brand new glow plug in and it was still doing this and added another shim because I was running 30% fuel but that seemed to have made it worse.
@kyronrc 2 ай бұрын
@@marcowerner8739 hmm... in this case test lowering the ratio, i have an engine thats just like that. Using almost no shims makes it run better.
@bradenjones8025 2 ай бұрын
Could be bad clutch bell bearings or an issue with the clutch shoes not disengaging. Could also be a bad setting on the mid screw ( fuel mixture screw )
@bradenjones8025 2 ай бұрын
Go back to box stock settings on all screws and lean back out from there. This has done the trick for me more than once.
