Welcome to the channel, my name is Justin and I’m here to share my Rc experience from south Florida with all of you.
Ok so we got her restored and fired up in part 1. Now it’s time to tune this baby up and get her track ready for this weekend!!
We need to be screaming to hang with the brushless gang......Let’s do this!!

    The settings of these gasoline rc are a bit long to do but once you find the right setting it's the best, good job !!

    The mirage was the first of the eb4 buggy platform .. I still got 2 of them here and a buggy for spares ... factory settings are all screws flush in their housings and throttle gap just under 1mm for idle

    Excellent. I would not mess with idle and low speed needle. Leave 1mm gap open from turning Idle needle. Just adjusting for speed on high speed needle. You like to go fast! LOL

    Nitro seems sooooo cool. Would you recommend getting one? T-maxx's are like 120-200 near me and I have knowledge of tuning motors and RCs. The only issue I have is maintenance costs

    @@brysonkuhn3290 Hi if you like tinkering around with a real motor they are very fun to run and the sound they make is just awesome. The downside now a days due to brushless and lipo batteries the nitro fuel got expensive because it's not as popular as it used to be, I found VP fuels 20% basher blend on amazon for a quart it was under $15.00 shipped which is a good price compared to most other qurt nitro blends and VP supposed to be really good stuff. I used to get a gallon back in the day for $20.00 bucks!

    I think my hearing is starting to go, sounded the same to me 😁🏜🙏guess you have to have a little mechanic in you to tell the difference. Either way you got the best end of the deal a great vintage hard to get car for a trailer you can build anytime. Are you trying to get a toe modeling job lately. Oh I hear it now smoother 🏜🙏😁holy smokes you got a winner, oh cookie is bad ass. Mine would be under the bed

    That's cool dude, The Thunder Tiger runs like a real performance car or old school muscle car, it pops and buzzes, surprised flames didn't shoot out of the exhaust like a real race car 😀. I have an Audi S5 that runs like crap until it warms up and the valves open up then it sings and gets you to 60mph in about 4 seconds.
