Please upload a new video soon.....this is comedy gold for the RC community...

Thanks Haggard mate well life in the old dog yet!’for all The problems you said the engine had she actually ran quite nicely! Looking forward to the 21 video 🤞🤞🤞😂

I would check to see if the big end bush has spun in the con rod closing off the oil passage to the big end, check it to see that the oil hole in the conrod still lines up with the hole in the big end bush.

Heat cycles are key for running in a fresh built engine or newly bought! Run upto temp then cool dwn then upto temp an repeat like haggard sais everything needs to expand when heating up an contract when cooling down 👍

Been a subscriber for a good few years now mate and you have had enough nitro engines to know what your doing I would send the engine back and see what they say

I understand everything you're talking about. You pay for something expensive and your goal is to take proper care of it. And as far as keeping things tidy. That never lasts long.

I break my motors in the same way. Few tanks at idle on the box to start off with. The one thing I always do is keep a heat gun aimed at the motor for the entire tank. Living in the UK the air temp is way cooler than all these US racers breaking in an engine in the middle of Arizona 😂 I’ve broken in a Novarossi P5 before and that thing was rich! Had to raise the idle tilt the buggy on its side and keep the heat gun on it. Ran like a beast afterwards. Did the same with my Picco P3 but that came a lot leaner from the factory. Heat gun and a hose pipe to keep the noise down. Seems ok so far.

Harggard RC tank you for video today will be see more of your video 💯👍 harggard friend USA 🇺🇸🇬🇧💯

Wow. I can not believe i did not get any notifications on this video. Late but Crazy Dad is watching now. 👍Always before. Hit play. Therapy time. Stay positive. Nice video. Thank you for the update. 💯💥👍👊🏻

Very rich low RPM running does put pressure on the bottom end and might cause wear. Strange it has so much wear after only 4 tanks though.

It sounded fine when you ran it so fingers crossed It will be fine but I totally understand your frustration Especially with something expensive like you said and you would want a beautiful engine to be pristine I get that 💯

Hey love you’re vids, you getting me bk into nitro again lol had em yrs ago, Electric quick though but it’s the sound and smell..I can’t get out yet got injury (on throttle finger🤔) . I’ve been looking . Turbo ones out lol different glow plug though I think. Anyway sorry to go on 0:26 😢😅wouldn’t mind Kyosho

Hi there love the videos im in the uk in southampton realy want to get back in to the nitro cars and truck. I use to have a rex x it was a lot of fun but due to having a back problem its hard for me to do a lot a part from watching your vieos so keep going and if you have any old nitro cars or trucks i would to buy one. PS keep up the good work and stay safe Nat-Sav79

Engine still sounds ok Pal, Take a look at the Dewalt/Milwaukee 18 V Electric Heat Gun w/4 Nozzle Hot Air Gun Cordless. A million times better than those sodding heat jackets for the workshop. Just run them on the lowest setting, 20 to 25 quid with a battery and charger 👊

i hope that long hose on the exhaust didnt create some sort of hydro pressure event..blame it on the old man

You didn t use your heat gun...making fun of the guys that use heat guns, maybe your crank bearings.....good luck, keep up the great vids

yeah man get what you saying ,its a piece of high end equipment expensive 3x times the price of a normal nitro engine maybe more . to bad you see lots of people running in there engines with hose on the exhaust . but that big end (conrod) is worn like a old engine not good how must is a new conrod ? mabe better get one to safe the rest of the engine ? nice video like the talk 👍😉

tank 5 give it some revs atleast 1/4 to 1/2 get it hot no wonder the bottom end was cold

I feel like you should be able to just buy a new connecting rod and replace it. I have replaced many worn rods for nitro aeroplane engines and had great success. Im confident that you can fix your rod bushing with no problem. The amount of wear on that rod will only get worse. Not sure if it will let go and break the crankcase but it certainly won't fix itself or get better.

With Reds I even think, when you do treat the engine properly there is some guarantee (I mean when there is a manufacturing flaw) Yeah, I know that. It also breaks my heart when you break something when you took care of it. P.s. For exhaust springs there are special „hook tools“ But thanks for the vid. Was nice listening👍

Hello bud. I enjoy your videos and your attitude to the hobby. I would be happy to re pinch the O.S engine for you if you are willing to post it to me.

Ps friday 7pm here in nz 22 degrees Celsius 😅😅

You should do a live stream

Now then Rusty old chap ;) Hmmmm can't see that length of hose causing back pressure to be honest, then engine was on tick over and you were not reving it. It could be a whole myriad of things, manufacturing defect for example. That bearing definitely should not be like that after so little use, you'd expect that after many hours of use. Fingers crossed you get many many hours of enjoyment out of the car & engine mate.

What’s up brother! How’s the weather over In Your parts?

I'm looking for an MP9 Kit. Not a ready to Run. But a kit. I love building my own car's. I was recommended a Red or Nova engine for my project.

Hallo. You should move to the countryside. Then you can rev and run to your heart's content.,😁

Can’t you contact reds I’m sure they’ll sort it for you as this happened to me and I contacted them and they sent me a new engine. Always love your videos buddy keep up the great content

quick question, how full are you supposed to fill your tank up?

Hello 👋

You’re a poet, and you don’t know it 😂😂

mann that's bloddy shocked me I have a b5 and its awesome but there is a lot of play on the pin 😢

Not going to lie, that made me sick to my stomach when that engine locked up on you and it was brand new.

Correct name is gash king 😂😂😂

Pps love your crap 😅😅

Wont touch Nova, seen too many issues down our local track, only been out a couple of years and on its 4th generation. My gen2 B5 is a paper weight, sitting in my bag, i cant even bring myself to sell it on its that bad. Just save a bit more and get an OS.

You should call them and see if they’ll send a new one or something man that’s super sad and disappointing

You are supporting this brand, good for them, but from what I have seen (I had a B5R), they have nothing to do with Novarossi, not the same quality, not the same machining and many issues, how supposed former Novarossi employees can make so many mistakes!? If they use the "Nova" name, this is not a new brand coming from nowhere and we cannot accept any beginners issues. Plus Novarossi is coming back, the real Novarossi and they said that they have nothing to do with these Nova engines people. Not hating on you, love your content! You and I pay for our stuff, my main content is engine reviews, trust me, there are much better options for the price and even cheaper!

Rather than spending money on nitro stuff, why don't you buy a decent camera? That way you won't struggle to film.👍

Man it looks cold in your man cave and you are still wearing shorts 😅😅

No 1.....who runs an engine in for 5 tanks on tickover, with zero throttle input and a tube on the exhaust creating excess back pressure....This is why it seized....Lack of crankcase pressure! No 2....the bottom end bush has worn excessively because you forced the piston loose with a hammer and punch with the engine in a vice....You are a certified mental case.....

One minute you say you built the engine up, and the next you say you bought it.....i think you are lying to your subscribers.....
