[Nitro car tips I wish I knew before owning my first nitro car] (1.) Especially on a new car, unscrew the glow plug from the car and test to see if it glows a bright orange. My car wouldn't start and I had no idea that the one the came with the car was hardly heating up. They don't cost too much so it doesn't hurt to check and have a spare. (2.) Prime the fuel through the tubes so some of it is reaching the engine, thus letting it start. (3.) Make sure the idle setting on the remote is not preventing the car from starting or is set too high, it will eigther struggle to start if at all or take off on you after it starts. Usually, a 1mm gap is enough. the car should hardly creep forward by default. (4.) Look up what percentage fuel mixture is recommended for your engine and only use a nitro RC car fuel (5.) Refer to the default tuning in the car's manual to find a starting point for tuning the engine for your location (6.) If the car is not starting, the pulling gets tougher, and fuel is spitting out the exhaust, you likely flooded the engine. Not a big deal, just stop and unscrew the glow plug, tip the car on its side, cover the hole with a paper towel, and pull the cord a few times to clear excess fuel from the car and you can try again perhaps with a leaner adjustment (less fuel more air). (7.) Keep an eye on the batteries in the remote so you don't lose connection mid drive due to loss of battery life. Rechargeable batteries are nice to have so you don't have to keep buying tons of AA batteries (8.) Spraying Windex on the cars wire antennae can help with feeding it into the small plastic tube that sticks into the car. (9.) Be patient and break the car in properly on a tank or two of fuel to help lubricate the engine and break in the moving parts. It will help with the longevity of the car.

I’m a local mechanic here and honestly, truly unbiased, I would go for the electric myself. There simple and most people that are actually using rcs are just getting into the hobby( lets be honest here.) for me, their much more reliable. Now I’ve had multiple nitros and gassers and to this day I still prefer electric. They tend to be fast enough, and their cheaper to operate( again, most people are just getting into the hobby.) most people who don’t work on engines will get tired of having them give out because they aren’t doing proper maintenance. Overall, I’m a mechanic and I get no better feeling driving a nitro or gas than I do an electric. Maybe it’s because I’m used to working big diesels and nitro engines aren’t loud whatsoever. There my take, from a mechanics standpoint.

My first two vehicles, which I still have, are nitro. I've been out of this for 13 years and am waiting for my electric Xray T4. I went nitro to start because I always had cheapo electric rcs and wanted something different with a heart and soul. I'm in the process of getting my Savage and Nitro RS4 2 back in prime running condition. If you grew up with tablets and would enjoy life as an avatar then electric is for you. If you enjoy putting things together and understanding your cars then nitro is 100% more satisfying.

@freddieparrydrums

Hey how did it to

I have had a bunch of R/C vehicles going back to the 1980's. I've always preferred nitro, but electric was much easier for most of that time. Still is, but nitro has come so far in that time that it's essentially a wash. Nitro is much louder, which is a consideration. Also, if you want to race, nitro can only be run outdoors while electrics can be used indoor and out. Many tracks have indoor off-road (carpet or dirt) courses as well so electrics get to take advantage of both while nitro is restricted to outdoors. My favorite thing about nitro (other than the sound and smell) is that you can run them as long as you have fuel. Electrics just don't run long on batteries and unless you buy a pile of those, your time is limited. Batteries also degrade over time requiring replacing. Nitro is just more up front. Up front costs are higher (although again, batteries add up for electrics) and there is more 'stuff' required. Break in and tuning are front loaded efforts. But once you do those things, it's pretty much fire and forget. I think for the total beginner electric is more accessible but if you are bitten by the R/C bug, you will end up eyeballing nitro sooner rather than later.

$25+ a gallon for fuel compared to $30~$50+ for a battery that will last you YEARS! Not to mention Nitro engines will last you about 20 gallons of fuel tops before needing to be rebuilt or replaced which will run you $150+ easy. Brushed motors are like $15+ to replace and will last for years if maintained and Burshless motors will last even longer if maintained.

Great comparison and explanation

You forgot to mention air filters and oil for the air filters plus if you're not running or ready to run you need a starter box and a battery for that Also eventually drive shafts we're out and their opinions and brake pads. nitro is a lot more expensive to run and maintain.

I grew up in the 90's when nitro was in its prime, I'll always love nitro. I am actually getting into all the old tamiya kits that I never got a chance to play with when I was a kid too, motors my childhood friends paid $300 for are now $40 lol. And then there's brushless.

Straight to the point and very helpful bro. Thanks for the video.

I recently got my first taste of nitro yesterday. A friend had an old nitro car sitting in the back of his garage, and we got it down and managed to fire it up, but the old AM radio was not working whatsoever. But it was SOOOOOOO rewarding to hear it fire up for the first time. Leaving his driveway with fuel and dirt on my hands was the best thing. But the best part is we live way out in the sticks, so noise isn’t any problem!

For the newer RC fans: watch out for short-course trucks because if you drive on anything loose or wet, it will end up in the shell because of the tire position.

Thank you I have an electric car right now and I’m looking at getting into nitro, this video was very helpful! Thank you very much

I love the mechanical aspect of nitro cars. Driving a nitro car, getting used to it and then fitting a tiny turbo charger to it and watching it go is so much fun.

I have been running Tamiya electric kits my whole life and they have been lots of fun, even though they aren't the fastest or best in the business. Recently got my first nitro RC (Bullet 3.0) and it has given me a new outlook on the hobby. Re Igniting that childhood joy of taking a RC out on an open field and just going crazy. In my opinion to start off Electric is probably a better choice, but if you have the patience to tune, run and maintain a nitro its worth every drop of fuel! Also great video!

Lots of interesting comments here. I do both nitro and electric. Yes you need to be a more involved with a nitro vehicle but to me that's part of the fun. Each has there fun factor and it's up to the individual to decide what is fun for them. Have a blast and keep on RCing!

Great job on explaining the difference, I'm not so sure about the top dead center being of importance, but yep, that about sums it up.

@AB-80X

5 жыл бұрын

You're not sure? I take it you haven't seen the damage it can cause. What you need to understand is that the components in the engine does not cool at the same rate, and due to the fact that they are made from different alloys, they also expand and contract at different rates. The issue is not when everything is cold, the issue is while it cools. NEVER leave your piston in the pinch.

I've ran nitro for years switch to brushless and just didn't like it was missing all the fun factor sold it all now back to nitro kits

With modern electric motors, I have no desire to go back to nitro. Used to love my Ofna 9.5 buggy, but it just collects dust now.

Now I don’t have any problems with the electric trucks and have more fun. Great video and I think what ever way people go rc’s are great fun.

If anybody reads this you can put on board audio (OBA) in a electric to make it have an engine sound, you can turn it on or off, high volume or low volume.

learn to fix them then , its a HUGE part of the hobby

I bought a T-maxx classic as my first RC. It's got Traxxas EZ start on it. Electric starter and glow plug igniter all in one pack. Comes with the radio and is really easy to tune. Next one I buy is going to be a Tekno RC SCT410 short course truck. I am going to go electric for sound and smell basically. If I want to run my nitro truck I have to take it somewhere. With electric it's no worries.

Both nitro and electric have their place, I love them both, started with nitro and took the time to learn how to tune and troubleshoot problems. Most folks get a nitro, try it and think oh this is so hard, it's really not if you learn what you're doing. I just love to see people hate on nitro, these are clearly the people that just refuse to learn so they just hate.

My first rc was an ofna hyper 7 and i switch to electric, like 10 years ago. Nitro - Sound Electric - everything else

I started with a Traxxas rustler xl5 and urpraded the mortor with a castle mamba x and I now work with nitro and electric both a ton of fun

Electric cars just need to be plugged in, and they're ready to go, every single time, compared to nitro which can be picky (sometimes they'll start first pull, while other times you'll be sitting there for 10 minutes yanking on the pull starter with no luck.)

I’m fairly new to this hobby I started off with electric and like a week or two after I got a nitro and I gotta say nitro is very very fun I’m still getting used to tuning it but it’s makes the experience so much fun yeah electric is fun too but nothing beats nitro imo the sound, smell, and tinkering and plus you get more run time which was one of my main reasons for getting a nitro but nitros comes with a lot of responsibilities too

My first car was a nitro buggy, and the price of fuel and the noise ended up driving me towards electric. A $40 lipo pack will give you way more runtime than a $40 gallon of fuel. Also, if you ever want to get into racing, there's about 5 electric classes for every nitro class at most tracks, so keep that in mind.

By having the engine tuned properly. If it you run it to rich more fuel goes through. And causes it to be flooded with more fuel. Causing a puddle of fuel. Under the front engine

Sorry if this is too late, but brushless is much more quicker and lasts much longer than a brushed motor mainly because brushed motors produce more heat and are in constant physical contact with the magnets inside. If you're having problems, you could always go to a local hobby shop and ask them for recommendations. I went for a Traxxas Maxx, and in my opinion, it's a very fun car. It goes fast and does really well off road. I'd just say before you bite the bullet, explore different brands like Arrma, Losi, Kyosho, or Traxxas and choose a car based on what your goals are. You wouldn't buy a rock crawler to race on a track, right?

I had a Kyosho Raider 2WD when I was 12 or 13 (almost 30 years algo), and I enjoyed it a lot even although It wasn't fast at all. Then I got an Inferno DX (basic versión of the first generation of a famous Kyosho car), which is still in a box in a storage room in my parent's hause. It was a beast as compared to the electric car, but I think I wasn't able to use more than 2 litres of fuel in years. Every time I wanted to ride it, something broke and there wasn't any hobby store in less than 60km (you know that online stores didn't exist in 90's). So, at the end I parked the car and I forgot this hobby. Some months ago, in my 40 birthday, I wanted to ressurect my hobby, but starting from RC model airplanes. I got an electric plane, and I was surprised of how powerful the electric motors are. Now I am seeing that electric RC cars are also 10 times faster (and batteries have 10 times more capacity) than my old Raider. I think that one of the birthday gifts for my son will be a 1:10 RC car... 😆

Electric is easyer to deal with and probably faster but maybe cost more if you want good stuff.

Ironically a nitro car uses more batteries than an electric car. Which do I prefer? I like both for different reasons. An electric car is typically more reliable, require less maintenance and have more consistent performance, but if you're a tinkerer you might actually enjoy the extra tuning and maintenance with a nitro car and nitro cars do have a certain charm to them IMO. Another big advantage to electric being less noisy though is that you can drive them basically anywhere and at all times in the day.

Its like do you want a Nissan leaf or a Toyota supta

I drive both and I love both. The torque and speed of modern electrics is without equal, but there's something about a fuel burning engine that an electric motor just can't match. The sound, the smoke, the smell, it's all part of it, but on those occasions where I just want to nip outside and have a quick bash round my garden or in the avenue where I live, it's electric all the way. Clean, quiet and easy as pie.

What about top speed and acceleration? Which one

im saving my money for a nitro :P

Every new rtr nitro Will need to be broken in and usually it takes 2-3 tanks to do so.

The maintenance on a street gas ( EXXON ) car is more or less that a nitro car ?

In the long-run street gas is probably a little less expensive for general maintenance. With nitro, you'll probably go through clutches and glow plugs quicker.

If ur a beginner start with an electric kit once ur used to the basics then step up to nitro. Plus with nitro make sure youve got a place to run it where the noise isnt going to be a problem

I want a cheap easy car to start that I can build up as I go! Is this somebting that can be had in RC cars! My cousins in Michigan had a lot of buggy’s and monster trucks they was always swapping parts! But some of them was electric they had both but I liked the slower bigger nitro cars myself! Just seemed more like a real vehicle!

My first nitro is the Kyosho Inferno Neo 2.0

Cool rig

why has nobody make a muffler for nitro? would help dampen the noise like in motorcycle

I started out with a traxxas slash 2wd. Had that, bashed it, broke it, fixed it, yadda yadda yadda. Then i got my first nitro after messing with my slash for 3 years, a traxxas Tmaxx 2.5. After running that monster, its definatly really fun i love tuning a fixing things and i do find myself fixing it more that driving it and its the complete opposite with electric. I love both and cant choose one over the other, but do suggest you start out with an electric for yer first car -my collection now: E maxx brushless, Tmaxx 2.5, 2wd slash (modded), and a 2.5 rustler

What about getting into some really nice 1/8 hobby grade rc kits? You should build yourself an Xray, Mugen, TA or Tekno buggy or truggy kit. Once you've done that, you'll find yourself submerged in the hobby on a completely different level.

I have a 2.5 tmaxx A fully upgraded stampede 2wd And a Arrma Kraton v2 The tmaxx was cool in 04, but brushless just stomps nitro into the ground. Minimal maintenance and instant torque even at 60+ mph

Were i can buy rc Porsche drift and how much is the price. Tnks godbless

I decided to get both. I remember we had the Nitro Cox dune buggy, no radio, just start it set the wheels and watch it run around the yard bashing into everything until it flipped and stalled out or ran out of fuel. Yes, a nitro does require more abilities than electric but I also think nitro helps a younger person prepair for the future, when he will have to learn how to maintain his own real vehicle someday. How many future mechanics cut their teeth on a Cox nitro buggy, or nitro street racer? Plenty. From there, they got into the briggs and strattion 5 horse engine, then the real thing. All stepping stones in real life, and it all probably started out with a little screaming, smoking nitro engine, dad got them for a birthday.
