You have the most relaxing voice I have ever heard

I fly nitro planes, but your tutorial contains excellent tips as there are only very slight design differences. Your communication skills are absolutely fist class. I don't think I heard a single 'err', well done and thank you.

By far the most informative, well explained tutorial I've seen on nitro tuning. I only wish he could tune my Alpha 28. It would be set for life.

You wouldn't be set for life as unfortunately nitro engines don't hold a tune very well ;)

Great video and really well explained, thanks for sharing Josh, much appreciated

Very handy information mate. Not that I've touch the low speed screw, i can rest assured which one it is now 😁 i have a rough idea but even more so now after your tutorial. Thanks buddy

Great video,Josh,I learned a lot from your early videos,a good reference point,and this is a worthwhile update.These engines can be extremely frustrating but persistence brings huge reward,I don't think nitro is for everybody but I hope they're around for a very long time yet,great satisfaction when you get it right with amazing sound,speed and smell.👌✌👍😊😁

I don't think they are going anywhere, but big R/C Companies such as HPI , traxxas etc, certainly seem to be focusing their time on electric models. HPI haven't brought out a new Nitro model for years!

JT12's R/C Videos Yes,I agree,it seems to fit in with the instant gratification style modern world,the only Ready To Run models you could get when I was a kid were the cheap and nasty toy style models,nitro cars were extremely expensive then,electric cars fit in with this modern world,plug it in and go with no effort,to me,it's bypassing a large part of what the hobby is about.

Very clear explaination, very well done.

I agree with A the G, except for a glaring omission in presentation - no subtitles.Thanks for the vid!

I have a metering screw on my Associated MGT 8.0, what does it do ?

Thanks for the series! My problem is that I made the mistake and messed up the factory settings needles in my force s15 engine and can't seem to find them anywhere. In the engine manual says that both needles should be 2 - 3 turns open from bottom but the engine won't start like that. Can't manage to get it running. The engine is brand new, couldn't do the break in procedure hence I could not start it. Can you help me with some advice?

My car just runs without the glow plug when I turn the low speed needle about 2,5 turns in. Isn’t this too much ? I mean it runs well so far but I don’t want to damage the engine due to too lean mixture.

You're welcome!

is that a hyper 7 or hyper SS?

The low speed needle or idle needle affects the entire range of the engine. The high speed needle does indeed control full open position but the idle/low makes a significant contribution to the high speed setting. The mid-range transition unfortunately is a compromise between the low and high rpm. It's often where the engine runs the poorest. Having some experience with nitro helicopters, certain engines have a third mid-range needle to obtain a better transition. Not seen in gasoline or smaller fixed engines.

What's the 4th brass screw on the carburetor thanks

Hi first of all thanks for your videos they have really helped me out over the years top man. Just wondering if you could help me out I've just bought a macstar .28 engine and it didn't come with any default needle instructions and the needles look way out just wondering if you know the factory defaults for this engine ?

Hi there! Glad they've helped This document gives you all the info you need about the Mac 28 www.cmldistribution.co.uk/diagrams/HoBao/Engines/HB_Engine_settings_MacStar_28.pdf

I have the gx15 engine it has no lsn which is a bit of a pain

I wish the default settings were as easy to get as others. I have just finished re-building of a vintage Hobao hyper 10 Touring car and i decided to by a brand new Hobao hyper 12 engine to make everything stock but my version came with a bog standard carb that only has the high speed needle and not a low speed needle so when i have tried to check the default settings from the manual that came with the engine it says open carb 6x 1/8th turns from closed which is only one and a half turns from closed but a much better detailed manual for the same engine is saying set the high speed needle three and a half turns? Also that manual has a different carb showing a high end and low ends needle whilst the version i have is different as explained above? So now i have two different recommended settings? Either i go with the manual that came with the engine (6x 1/8th turns from closed) or the better detailed manual from the hobao site saying three and a half turns from closed? I have managed to break the engine in with the default factory settings and ran 5 tanks through it on idle to be on the safe side but now i am trying to tune the engine it seems far to rich for three and a half turns out from closed but way to lean if i go for the 6x 1/8 turns? So now i am going to buy a better carb with both the high and low end needles in the hope that might solve my needle setting problems. Wish me luck lol

@TheRCBiker

If you've hit a curb it's probably knocked a driveshaft out , or maybe even stripped the spur gear or differential gears

What is the screw on the OTHER end of the carburetor? The one opposite from the low speed needle screw. My engine only has 1 needle screw of the side, and it's OPPOSITE of the throttle linkage.

@fatboyjetskishop8040

If you only have 3 screws, the one opposite the linkage is the low speed. It’s in the same place as the midrange screw on a 4 screw carb.

I can get it running and when I start to use it and open the throtle slow it is OK but when I smack it open it will not run

I got a old one I want to restore the needle on it though just keeps turning is it meat to turn endlessly or is it meant to stop when fully open?, it is a 2004 tamiya NDF-01 thunder , pull cord is broken and needs new fuel pipe and glow plug and not sure about this valve and hope the problem ends there as any spare parts for it seems costly

Hi.Do you know how to stabilize the Mid Range Needles crew because it comes out continuously?

@TheRCBiker

4 жыл бұрын

The default settings of the Mid range needle is usually flush to the edge of the carb body for most engines. It shouldn't really be adjusted. If it keeps coming out I assume there is an issue with the threads! You could try threadlocking it in?

Try unplugging the fuel line that is connected to the exhaust and blow (push air) on it with your mouth. This will create pressure on the fuel tank and force the fuel into the carb.

Next time just put your thumb over the end of the exhaust exit while pulling on your pull start and it will prime also. But also the blowing into the tank trick works great to

Lol I thought my low end needle was my idle needle, and I really messed things up

Good video but one error the idle needle is not a needle but a stop that controls both air and fuel.

Base set needle so when at fully open need 1mm away from base. Close fuel mixture till it stop dnt force it. Then turn out 2.5 to 3 turns. Set low speed with power off n u pressing on throttle linkage side tords carb hole. Turn screw till it has a small gap in throttle. One its starts u got adjust all rods. Just delt with this on an ofna
