It's been two years so I figured I would check in. I did follow through and I can say without a doubt that this video definitely improved my performance at the track. I rarely, if ever, flame out in a race and the car just works. The brakes are never trying to overstep the engine or vice versa. The engine always reliably comes back to idle and the brakes don't stall it. Thank you for this video!!

A rather long video, but extremely helpful. A lot of other videos I've seen on the topic seem to "gloss over" the specifics. Being able to see the change in comparison to good/lean/rich is super helpful. I've not purchased a nitro before, but this certainly is helping me get the confidence I need to make the leap into nitro. Can't thank you enough!

Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into this video. I got my first nitro 14 years ago as a kid, didn't really understand it. Ran it into several car tires and destroyed it. During the pandemic, I found it in my parents basement when I was visiting and decided to rebuild it. I am having to learn everything and this video is finally helping me understand tuning like never before. This is my second time watching this currently, so thanks mate!

Thanks for taking the time to share the knowledge. Nitro rc cars are almost rare in 2023. I walk into local hobby shops with my vintage traxxas or even my ofna racing buggy and they look at me like Im crazy. They dont even have any nitro for sale. They try to push electric on me. They have little to NO knowledge of nitro. Wont even look up parts for me half the time. Whats funny is as soon as I fire one up. Everyone in the store comes running. They always want to see them run. Was tuning my traxxas earlier this week I had an entire construction crew of guys hooting and hollering. I let them drive it around a bit and they looked like kids at xmas.

Thank you JQ, When I got Into this hobby 12 years ago I went with electric buggy’s because when I would go to the tracks, nitro vehicles were always having trouble starting, running and finishing. After a couple hours and 4-5 battery packs later when I’m leaving, I’d see the nitro guys still trying to tune and run their vehicles...SMH. Your detailed explanation is something I get and understand, I now have a better understanding and will look at trying out a nitro buggy... again Thank you!!

For measuring the idle gap: The shank end (the part that goes in the drill chuck) of a precision drill bit or what are called 'pin gauges' would be an easier tool to use. They are round and fit in that space more easily. The pin gauges would most likely be more expensive, and are precision measuring tools machinists use for gauging similar situations. The precision drill bits come in small sets and cane be found at many places dealing with hobbies and crafts. Just measure the shank end of the bit with you calipers ( most of the time the shank is slightly smaller than the labeled drill bit size )

I have been in this hobby since 1998. I have raced in the Kyosho World Championship, yet this video aded more to my experience significantly. I have watched this video probably about 5 times start to finish, that is how interesting, well edited, fun and knowledgable it is. I wanted to experiment, so i took one of my onroad 1/8 vehicles that i have had for a while and having fun with it for a while. I had tuned the vehicle prior using my experience and without measuring the idle gap until i got it tuned. I purchased the Gap feelers and trimmed them, reset my HSN and LSN and IDLE screw to factory settings (or as described in the manual) i highlighted the 1.0MM, 0.7MM and 0.5MM on my carb with a marker. Low and behold, i had my vehicle perfectly tuned in no time and at 0.5MM carb idle gap. No double idle, perfect low idling, fast response and above all and most of all no guessing. Super amazing video. Thank you!

This is DAMN good advanced Nitro tuning advice. 👌 It took me years of playing with Nitro R/C engines to learn how to tune like this. This video will save you all those years of learning, and pack it all into an hours worth of your time. WELL worth the watch if you want to learn to tune like a pro... Cheers for the time you invested into this excellent video! 👊 🍻

@cbh148 3 жыл бұрын

This is outstanding. Nitro clicked for me the moment I learned to set the idle gap (0.7mm for the Novarossi Bonito I ran at the time) and essentially leave it there, then adjust idle speed with the low speed needle. It’s like simplifying a math equation from 2nd order to 1st by elimination of a variable. It’s always baffled me that I never saw a video instructing this method, and only like 1 or 2 forum posts out there (in a sea of thousands) that describe this method. 99% of people want to change idle speed with the throttle stop screw as if this is a normal carb, like on a dirt bike or lawnmower.
