I learned 100% more about RC cars in the last few hours than I did in 60 years.👍

I love that you guys are having a blast doing your hobby and showing people how to make their machines the best. Your machine is running super smooth and you are the best in your trade. I’m sure people are looking up to you.

This is the best quick tune vid I have seen thus far... I tuned my werks engines in both my hot bodies d8t &my losi 8ight 2.0....this vid has both my cars running top notch thanks Cody!!!!!!

Thanks Cody and Paul. I will put this into practice with my Losi 8 and Hyper 7

We need more of this now ASAP Let's get it going

i attempted to run and tune my first nitro on my own with prety limited success , so i youtubed for vidios to help ,i watched many vidios till i found this 1 and after watching i went out and straight up tuned it up like a dream within a few miniutes , now i hav a inferno and inferno st and madforce nitros ,kyosho!! thanks guys.

sweet cant wait to see this thing in action during a race good luck to Cody at the races hope i can watch one in person someday.

Excellent tutorial. Very simply laid out.

thank you for the video made it so easy to tune my nitro buggy. My first tune took me 30 min. :D

thanks for the reply I'm sure you are pretty busy hope yall are having some good races.

Hi cody and paul ive just got my new kyosho mp9 tki3 and i love it.

Car sounds awesome dude well done!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup Paul and Cody rock, Paul knows his needles and engines that's for sure.. Learnt a lot from them overall, I've just moved to reds racing team tuned engines as did "they" ... Awesome vid..

WOW that thing's a beast!... Nice track too, I dig the big jump.

great breakdown

The Reds carb is composite, but the entire internal assembly is aluminum, including the low speed seat and slide bore is all one piece. I am duly impressed with the quality and consistency of the Reds carb.

yes.. it's good. We only use it for the first few tanks to get the initial polish on the piston sleeve, then it's up to you if you want to use it..

the stuff around the fuel tubing is heat shrink tube.. we use that in order to keep the fuel line from cutting if someone lands on top of you (affectionately known as waffle stomp). If your filter is leaking, you need to use two pairs of pliers and cinch that dude down. The stuff on the needle housing is silicone sealant.

Great guide !....thanks very much

Thanks for the info. Having trouble starting up my losi nitro truck. Might be the glow igniter. It''s a cheap one and doesn't seem to hold its charge

Ok yeah i will tighten it more thank you for helping me out. Im into this sport two years now and still learning everything i can man i bet ive watched this vid 25 times now i just love the way that thing is tuned is that the 3 port or 5?

Excellent video

Good clear and to the point. I agree with your video. I am a mechanic that deals with carbs all the time and this is just the same as a full size carb. These ppl that don't agree need to stick to efi fuel systems

Thanks guys! its good to take it from the Pros...

Brushless has it place as well as nitro, gotta have both :) Nitro =sound, smell and better feeling of a 'proper model' Electric= quiet, clean, convenient and relatively hassle free

Unfortunately u r far sir.. if same country , surely I will meet you and help me to tune up..... happy to watch ur video.... wish from batam.

Great guidance -thanks!

that particular pipe was the Orion 2058.. it works well for that engine, and it's EFRA legal for use in Europe or International competition. The bigger horsepower pipe is 2013.

Awesome AWESOME video man. I have an Orion crf engine. Can I use os plugs ? I can not find orion plugs

Great tips...many thanks!

Kyosho has some nice entry level cars.. it's the Inferno Neo line, and they also have a truggy that's decent, the Neo ST.

Good tuning guide. I think a lot of people get hung up on numbers and whether it's temperature or counting turns out on the lsn or hsn or having a .7mm idle gap, etc.... forget all that and tune for performance and use your ears and eyes to tell you if you're on the right track... which is essentially what they are doing here.

Hey guys, I just got in the nitro Inferno, I was wondering where I can get an electric starter for it? I noticed that you have one on yours. Great videos keep up this awesome hobby!! guys thanks

yeah I saw where he switched pretty sweet looking engine! i gotta ask how do you like the composite carbs because ive always had great results on the full aluminum body carbs or does reds have a full alum carb?

Nice vid man, I've always thought those engines look like a piece of art (never got to see one in person yet though) have a few questions about it. How's tuning it, how's it hold a tune, and will it fit on a Revo with slight modification or does Team Orion make a engine for the Revo?

I used to only read beer magazine, but now I drink beer and read Velocity RC Magazine.

Awesome cool vid!! I love this rc😎👍 I liked and subbed your channel ★☆ From🇯🇵

Great information.

cool info paul! good vid!

Braaap. Do a vid on the r5t my next beast

THE ULTIMATE SECRET FROM WINNER RACER!! In all the videos I've watched about carburetor adjustments for nitro rc engines not a single one talks about the secret I'm about to reveal to you that makes the difference between first, second and third on the podium. The low speed must be adjusted richer than normal but the motor must still turn well between 1/4 opening and 3/4 because the needle in the center of the slide controls from idle to 3/4. From 3/4 to full trottle you can put the slide needle in your pocket and it wouldn't change the mix. The result is that when the engine is running full throttle and you release the triger quickly the engine wants air and fuel but the slide is closed so a lot of gas (and oil) goes into the engine and cools it down and lubricates it better. Think about this.. How many seconds do you keep full trottle in a race...2 or 3 seconds.. then you can adjust the high speed needle leaner than normal and gain rpm and horsepower and by releasing the trigger very quickly for a fraction of a second like before entering a curve it cools much more and the temperature of the engine will not have time to rise above 250 degrees and you have maximum power.

keep going doing a nice job

Awsome help good looking out

I have seen and herd the werks b6 pro engines matched with either 2013 for a smoother power band or 2058 for a bit more on top end power werks pipe I currently run the os .21 xz-b speed spec 2 but really not that big of a jump from the os xz-b max blue head from what ive ran. You will get great torque and rpm out of all the engines i mentioned.

hey paul old post i know but one of the best if not THE best nitro engine tuning videos out there still!!! I was just wondering what the shock piston/oil/ bladder settup yall are running in this video because this is a very similar style track I run and I'm driving myself bonkers on to trying different oils and pistons Im currently running front 1.3 8 hole kyosho pistons with associated 42.5 oil and rear 1.4 angle 8 hole pistons with 32.5 wt associated oil.

I think this is 5 port, but can't be sure. It's been awhile since we did this and we run completely different engines now. Cody uses Reds Racing engines, designed and built by Mario Rossi..

The starter box was made by a Japanese company called S-Point. We are still trying to get them imported. They are carbon laminated fiberglass, and very light for traveling.

fanks for the help people av got it running now bludy good engine would recommend

well there went that piston and sleeve cx

how many laps at high speed and at low speed you on this engine ? has the same engine myself

Thanks for the tips, that car has way more jam than mine and a good driver doesn't hurt, lol. Cheers

​​​​​​​Do you know if there are any other manufacturers cvds' or driveshafts that fit the MP9? I am looking for other Manufacturers cvd kits or driveshafts from other manufacturers that fit the MP9 wheel axles. Thank you

@vrcmag Hello! What is the song used in this video? Thank you!

I am just starting back out in the RC car side of things a had one when I was in school but it’s been a good couple of years since when the engine is run in how long can you typically run them fore before letting it cool down

fanks pall thats wat a dun but fanks for the help mate cheers a got the engine going runs well

thanks guys

What is that around your fuel tubing to keep tight and i noticed some seal around your main needle housing if you dont mind me asking because im getting bubbles before and after the filter thanks.

i read that you should put a filter on the exaust side becasue it keep cool air going into the tank and help car run better.. is that true?

basically you adjust the screws to get the best performance but at a optimal and stable temperature jfc.

Guys you forgot to mention the right glow plug selection for right condition of weather which is an HUGE impact for reliability against cut out's on the track!

tearing it up that is a fast buggy

Amazing...👍👍👍

You guys inspired my interest in tuning, car sounds swwwweeeet. Have a look @ my vids and let me know what you think of my Hyper SS nitro buggy I am still tuning and breaking in

Are bigger engines easier to tune than smaller engines? I had a 1/18th nitro truggy with an LRP Z1.2S (if that means anything to anyone. Basically tiny!). I tuned it pretty well in the end, but I found it very finicky to get "just right". It made me wonder if the more common size engines are easier to live with?

How can you tell what year your vehicles are? I know they are between 2000 -2006 I'm not sure what make they are either. I inherited them.

What would u two recomend for a beginner 4 wheel drive buggy

Hi im new in rc nitro car hoby.i just bought habao hyper 7 tq2 and is a real pain in the ass to start.I saw on internrt starter boxes and i would like to know do you need to replace the pull start system with soomethig or i just leaved there.(i have COPS start system)

what are those shock absorbers like the screw ones cuz i have the ball one. and i wanna get the screw one but i dont know what it is called

Nice vid. Hi lm looking to buy a new kyosho mp9 tk13 never own one before. Are kyosho buggy any good any help or tips please.

hi dudes thanks and congrats to ur work. keep rocking... pls clarify me how to tune my nitro buggy to high speed,im using novarossi pro engine with 4.5cc,scale:1/8 buggy.

Kyosho has a big focus on R&D and quality control, that's why the cost is a little higher. Everything is made in Japan for the MP9, and you can feel that quality after you own the car for a little while. The materials and QC is second to none.

If you are looking for some wreckless engines to put in a buggy then you can go with. novarossi keep off .21 7 port, orion .21 crf 5 port factory tuned, werks b5 pro, alpha a852 lutz(accidentally put it in the other post should have been the 830 dragon), these are just a few .21 engines there are also a bunch or bigger displacement but if you are going to go racing one of these are the prefered engines. if you are willing though i would totally recommend the os speed .21 it is a bit expensive

Which exhaust pipe are you fellas using?

Can't wait hit ill I get mine 2morrow I ordered 1 day ago the same one for 650$ omg

yo you should do another one

What's the song at the end?!?

Does it sound like it's rich? Leave the ignitor on while you get it going.

I took my ansmann out for a run on some dirt today,and when i break it cuts out and its not running right but with everything i know on a rc car thats one thing i dont know how to do (tuning)....

Yo what did you put on your gas tank on your RC car?

loosen the glow plug and if that doesnt work well tell me

not to mention the mp9 design has not changed a whole lot from car to car because its platform is just so stable and so proven.

nitro james its a team orion, team edition crf .21 with a 2058 mid-high pipe there is also a team edition of that engine that has a few nic nacs here and there that increase power and fuel milage (although physically speaking you can not make an engine more efficient)

thanks Shane ;)

I've got some questions to ask I've got the same engine as yours?

Nice !

try to heat your engine up if this is a new engine we are talking about here then your engine sleeve needs to be "broken in" just run your engine slightly rich at around 200f for a gallon or 2 and you should be fine. just make sure you warm up your engine. if this is a problem and it still gets stuck loosen and i say only loosen the glowplug a bit just so you can relieve the engine from some of the compression.

What starter box did u used???

This video is sick

what is the band and song used in this video?

I used to read Word Up magazine, but know I only read Velocity RC Magazine.

4:25 flame from stinger :))

hi a just bot a novarossi 4t buggy and am having problems starting it the piston keeps jamming and at top dead center almost like its ceasing up av ride every fin av bean told still not a bull to turn it over any fine you could suggest fanks would be gratefull ..............James

i need a starter box..easy start im tired pulling..

hey, I got a TMAXX 2.5 and I got a perfect tune on it, lots of smoke on top, no bogging, no lack of performance, smoke on bottom end, nice idle, but the temps are just way outa control...the Top needle is at about 5 turns from the bottom and the bottom needle is flush with the housing and slightly more rich, car RUNS great, but the temps are always around 250-280...I dont know what Im doing wrong, when I richen it to bring them down, the engine bogs down and garbles fuel and stalls alot, cant even idle without stalling, so if I put it back to factory, its too lean, so I richen back to my settings and the bad temps come back...

Perfect advice buddy get rpm right on top first then adjust bottom end then idol adjustment last .

I bought a used Ofna lx with k4.6 engine. The buggy couldn't run on grass at all, it lacked power. On pavement runs fine. I dont know whats wrong😭

depends on how much you wanna spend. if you have the money a os speed or a novarossi keep off .21 7 port would be good. if you wanna get orion get the orion factory tuned .21 5 port. there are a couple others out there but the nova or the speed would be my choice

cool video. thnx

The buggy is a little more because it is expensive to make a higher quality buggy with better materials, all made in Japan. If you buy a different car and try to bring it up to the level of this kit, you will spend more money. (not to mention the shocks are the best in the industry)

can anyone tell me how to identify my Ofna model ? it has a purple motor and green wheels and a white wing.
