I have a Traxxas nitro slash, it’s completely stock, and I haven’t needed to do any upgrades. It’s amazing as it is. It took me a few month to figure out hot to tune it, but once I figured it out it was super easy, and super fun to drive!

When you said something about the rear axels in the mad force it brought the good/semi bad memories of driving my old kysho dst and crashing it and alwaya loosing or breaking the front axles man i love that car but unfortumatly parts for it are really hard to come by nowadays

Looks awesome...the springs look really strange, huge coil spacing!

The whole start procedure completely reminded me instantly why i sold all my nitro crap.

Love the vids kevin, ran nitro for years, switched in 2009 to electro, biggest tip for nitro: grab a torch and heat the cilinderhead for 10sec, then wait 1min and it will start first pull.. cilinder and piston are conical, they dont have pistonrings, preheating wil make the perfect gap between piston and cilinder.

Thanks Kevin for getting into some Nitro’s I can’t wait for more ! I hope they make a comeback!!

Pro tip, back the turbo or glow plug out half or full turn, apply igniter pull till it either runs or almost runs. Re tighten by hand with igniter then finish with tool. After this compression will be much kinder on starting and starting parts 👍

Hey kev, them engines can be a nightmare, bit half tank lean issue that plagued the savage, not as bad though. Worth noting that the needle you expect to be the LSN is in fact a mid speed needle. The lsn is actually on the side the servo attaches too.

I bought a traxxas tmaxx 1.5 off of eBay, got it to run after finding out how to tune the engine, I don’t know what I prefer, electric rc cars are a lot easier to maintain and use, nitros can be a bit of a hassle but are more fun, gotta love the smell of nitro fuel and the noise.

Cool video kev it's cool to see you guys out having a good time with some nitros

Yes yes yes love seeing brand new nitro on the show

Kev ! I am from Germany. Glad to see u back in Nitro :D

Nitros great, just takes a little time to learn the setting of carbs, a little patients and time definitely helps

It's a beautiful truck, the design obviously reminds me of the legendary HPI Savage series which is probably my all time favourite.

Yup, you can hear it running lean at idle and during part throttle. If idle is out of control, try richening the low speed needle.

I love Nitro I just want to see you enjoy it and not end up hating it again! Once you actually learn it all it’s extremely simple and all nitros will be the same to you! It will be like electric is now for you!!! Super simple! One day it will just click with carb tuning a light bulb will go off and you will really enjoy it!!! It takes research, respect, and practice like everything else!! I love that you’re coming back to it please keep it that way an learn how to make it easier on yourself so I can watch your badass videos!!! Thanks!!!! 🙏🏻

I have one of thease it's awsome I converted my one to electric 6s I'm playing on getting their electric v2 version the pull start is shit iv gone through 3 of them I bought a roto start kit for the hyper 7 and modified the drive shaft and love it much more fun starting it

haven't ran nitro since 2005, will never go back. I had a Duratrax Raze 1/8 Scale NITRO Buggy, Hpi firestorm, Team associated Rc10gt and a Nitro Warhead EVO Monster Truck 27. Brushless came out and the nitro got sold, converted the firestorm to brushless though.

Love the merch Kevin, you need a tumbly wumbly shirt too!

Great vid. I'm toying with the idea of getting into RC and can't decide nitro or battery. Also want to build from scratch so I can learn about RC. New sub ;)

the runaway rc car from stenf looks like the WLtoys a979b

Any plans to get a Tekno MT410? Great video! Love a good nitro vid!

Pinch test will really help you dial in the low speed needle! Remember must be warm, it’s best to have a temp gun, and the engine should die within 2-3 seconds of pinching the fuel line.

Same problem I have with my nitro, traxxas 4tec, bought it like almost 20 years ago. Has a pro .15 engine. It goes 50 mph max, but it's not shifting. What I notice is that it does go the top speed but it starts out kinda slow, like if it is stuck in 2nd gear. Been messing around with it but still no luck. Will keep trying.

I’ll help ya tune it , let me know the next time your down that retail park and I’ll bring the LST2 down. Considering buying a Arrma Infraction when they’re released.

I have a few hobao vehicles. None of the nitros. Glad you made this so I can see one in action

At the track right now, my bud is still trying to start his rc, and this is my 17 turn. I'll be on my second battery by the time he turns on an tunes his rc for this cold morning. Lol

The look of this car is Really a look of the savage just the gearbox way of the engine is mounted

That's a cool new truck, they are loud and awesome.

So you really gotta know what you are doing when you get into these seems like. Side note: My Dad used to race dual engine go-karts in the 70s at Riverside and Ontario raceways and they had big stainless side tanks and ran Nitro, 145 mph, loved the smell. I was just a little guy, 5 yrs. old? Anyway, ☮️ 😆 Thx for sharing Kev! Enjoy!

Hi, I have a question if I could ask for links to aluminum parts that you have in Strada TC

Kev, I say that motor is running way too rich. Recommend Stemp to do the tuning next vid. also liked the vid

Kev, the hobao is still running too rich, adjusting HSN will increase acceleration and top speed, but you may need to adjust gear shift point in the gear box Stempy, on the jackhammer, your idle speed is too high, and your LSN needs adjusting,8th of a turn one way or the other, the current bad setting on your LSN could be the reason you have to have it idle so high

kevin there's a spider where I live that can get to 6in long and runs 10mph it's called a sun spider

Ayyyyy he’s back with the nitros

hey kev, your vids inspired me to get my first brushless rc and I got a redcat racing blackout sct pro. could u do a rewiew on it. I want to see what u think

Tuning is really pretty simple. You need to study up an watch some videos on it or something.

@lucasstill8539

5 жыл бұрын

Oh, and by the way, the Revo actually starts LOL :) But all in all, looks like a fun RC car. Loving the vids as usual, Kev}

As a rule of thumb, if it ain't smoking it's too lean n that high needle needs to b opened up a bit. When you give it throttle and it does that choking/bogging thing like it did at 11:19 and at 12:09 it means that low speed needle needs to be backed out a bit, but only tune the low speed needle once the high speed needle has been set n has a nice trail of smoke, without that smoke you will just fry the engine

All of those issues are EXACTLY why I left nitro. I went back once with the awesome Thunder Tiger S59 Sledgehammer, but within 2 weeks, I missed brushless and sold it

tvp chassis looks like a savage lol that's a massive cylinder head

I warm my engines with a hair dry b4 starting and they start so much easier

Stemps radio for the 1:16th scale nitro stadium truck seems like it's on it's way out, it should not do that if he turns the radio around or shake it lightly that's for sure... Also should be a way so you can set the direction the servo is supposed too pull on the failsafe i believe. otherwise he might be able too just turn the servo around in the car & reverse the channel on the radio then the fail safe should pull the brake instead.

This should help you. Fully tighten the fuel needle. After that try 2 and half turns to open position and if its not running as good keep opening until its at flash. Never mess with the low speed and idle.

Nitro is awesome when they work properly but electric now days are pretty dope too tho and so much easier click and go

Great vid man keep up with the nitro stuff

hey kev awesome vid as always

HS 3.5 out from closed LS 2.5 out from closed, worth a try dude.. tell stemp to leave the glow ignitor on for a few seconds after start as the nitro will just cool the plug to fast and cause it to stall, you want thay plug to warm up nice, thats why they cut out at first when you apply throttle, Im probably telling you how to suck eggs lol..

All my toys are nitro, it’s all I run. My HPI Savage is my go to basher! If you ever wanna sell yours let me know! I’ll gladly take it off yer hands

Hobao sounded bad at idle richen ur lsn. On the other hand very nice car I have the hyper ss cage nitro and it's been amazing since I got it, no issues out of the box, easy to strip down and wrench on, easy to start and tune and it runs like a champ, mine came with savox servos out of the box. Hobao nitros are great I love them, best out there for a beginner car I reckon👍🏻
