already done, as is always the case on immediately opening! I came from nitro on my hyper st (still half brushless converted, just can't sort the drive train from wrecking the gears. Until i got into the smaller scale thanks to this chanel; (still have a sprint 2) I don't miss the glowplug saga, pulling the rip cord and it coming off in your hand. It was fun at the time but too messy and expensive. and carrying a huge bag around. Nitro back then (10-12 years ago) was 20 quid a contianer! Saying that electric come October is probably gonna be the same! Start it rich so you can see the exhaust clearly then lean it off a bit so just a bit shows as it exits the exhaust. Was a good rule of thumb for me anyway. (yours looked a little rich, but can't fault it's "go"!

The tuning is fine. The issue it has is the clutch is too loose and engages too fast causing it to the bog. Sort the clutch by tightening the springs and it will launch out the hole like an animal.

Any more nitro's you are on the lookout after ? I myself wouldn't mind getting hold of the original kyosho mad force or the twin force (og electric solid axle truck.) Or the thunder tiger EK4, wheelies for days out of both of these when tuned right. Mad force is a bit more fragile then the ek4 being a solid axle monster truck but still, love the look of Kyosho's 1:8th scale monster trucks too this day. Specially the new brushless usa-1 is a really nice looking truck.

She’s definitely running quite rich. You can slowly turn the fuel mixture screw in till it sounds more smooth, like it sounds in the higher rev range, all throughout the rev range. It’ll also get rid of that bog down low and really wake it up.

Definitely the best RC on the Channel if the best RC is the 1 that makes you smile the most 😉 awesome find and what a sweet looking and sounding truck so good it’s got me wanting to get my Thunder Tiger Sledgehammer S50 out the shed after sitting there 2 yrs since I bought it and only having 1 tank through it on a stand 🤦🏼‍♂️ it needed tuning when I bought it at the time I dint know it needed a Tanks putting through it before you can tune them. After the 1 Tank I had inadvertently smoked out the kitchen as it was all blowing in through the door so the misses put a stop to my tinkering at that point, I really need to get it out clean it and have another go at it before the weather changes again. Great vid Phil 👍

@muskokamike127 Жыл бұрын

one thing about nitro: air cooled....don't rip it doing donuts etc you can over heat it. It's always good to do some not full throttle straight runs to get air flowing over the cooling fins. They're pretty durable but you CAN over heat them. Oh yeah, it's better to be too rich than too lean.....too lean means not enough cooling or lube from the fuel and you can burn out the engine. You'll go faster but for a shorter amount of time. It's better to err on the side of caution and run it a tad rich.

Man that thing's a beast!! I've never been into nitro stuff, but I really love that truck! Many years ago the club I raced at did a "demo" race day at the Exeter Race Course shortly before it was taken over by The Jockey Club. We laid out a nice big track for suitable for 1/8th and 1/10th on a mown grass area. And once we started racing I found that my Team Associated RC10T2, a brushed stadium truck just 2 years younger than the TR-15T, could keep up with the 1/8th buggies when I ran 7 cell battery packs! It's pretty similar too with it's dead flat handling and massive fun to drive!

@alexhofstee466 Жыл бұрын

As others mentioned it runs a little rich. It 'burbles' a bit when going on the throttle, thats how you can hear it's a bit too rich. When you press the throttle acceleration should be instant and it should sound clear/crisp, the typical methanol engine sound. But it's safer to be a bit on the rich side than run it too lean. That will ruin it fast. And when you won't use it for a while, let it run out of fuel at idle and put some after run oil in the intake and pull the starter a few times. Methanol/nitro is hygroscopic and will attract moisture which will make the bearings in the engine rust.

I love a good retro, generally I modernise mine (without molesting) so I can keep all the original stuff mint. Ie I would personally pull the engine out and fill with oil (to preserve) and fit something else. Radio is a must, and any rare bits remove. Again keep the original shell and maybe bang a repro on it to bash. But hey that’s me! Lovely truck, gonna hunt the bay now!!!!!

@SwampersRC Жыл бұрын

Sounded like it's a little over geared. A bigger spur or a smaller pinion (on the clutch bell) will let the engine rev higher. It also sounds like it's not quite "on song". Rich carburation keeps the engine well lubricated, but a leaner mix will get you more power. Lean it out gradually and you'll see and hear a big difference. Also make sure you can still see some smoke from the exhaust to be sure it's still properly lubricated. You should get some mini pin rears and ribbed fronts and take it offroad!

@FarmerFpv Жыл бұрын

So awesome! I thought you were going to faint from excitement, lol. My first nitro was an RC 10 GT black pan. I bought it off of RC Groups. Then I got an old Kyosho USA1 Twin nitro engine conversion. I still have them, and they still run! They don't make them how they used to.
