Just a heads up, I bought a brand new 2021 TXT 300 a few weeks ago, old stock so picked it up at a great price. Rode it once did, just over an hour, stored it in my garage with the handle bars hard right. Next day I pulled it out and started it up. Little did I know the throttle cable dislodged from the throttle on the handle bars and was resting on the edge, covered by the rubber boot so not visible to me. This effectively set the stop at about 10% throttle on. The engine started and just stared to rev its tits off. Not knowing what was happing , I twisted the throttle closed but didnt help, so pulled the kill switch on the handle bars and the engine didnt stop to my shock. About 10 seconds later the engine seized due to the piston heating up way faster than the cylinder. My dealer has now fixed it under warranty. Takeaway points from my experience The throttle cable is really short The throttle cable just floats at the connection with the throttle tube , I will be lock wiring that in place from now on. Do not rely on the kill switch to work on a 2 stroke, It must have been self igniting. Have a strategy in place so if this runaway engine happens to you , you know what to do in the 10 seconds you have before self destruct. Nigel New Zealand
@RC-Engineering7 ай бұрын
Ouch! That’s a harsh start with a new bike. 😢 Before I rode the bike, I went over it carefully. Removing the airbox, wheels, tank and more, I carefully went over electrics and cable routing. Everything was fine, but I’d heard about the throttle potentially being an issue at the throttle body. After carefully going over it, I didn’t find any issues. Also, since I was very young, I always snap the throttle before starting. It has to return effortlessly or I won’t attempt to start. Not sure why I developed this habit, but I’ve found a couple times through the years where I needed to investigate before starting.

Definitely change the oil!! if you just undo the top plug for the oil and look at the magnet you will see why you want to change it. I did mine after one ride (though you don't seem to ride much id get more hours on mine after one ride then yours has.). id change it quite often while the bike is new as you seem to get plenty of bits in the oil to start with. Im in the uk and my bike has only ever run on 99 octane ( though I think you rate it different then we do)

@RC-Engineering8 ай бұрын
The Noble radio (regular and Pro) is BOTH left and right. When you take it out of the case the wheel is pointed away in the center and you need to rotate it to the side you want. It's "stiff" to rotate so it doesn't move when using it. It also means that you can adjust the angle you want, being able to offset like other brands need plates to do. When you look under the screen, there is a protractor to show the angle you have it set at to easily set it back at that angle every time. Quite a simple and smart solution :)

Hi Phil, great to see you on KZread and thanks for testing this! My last test was with a Sanwa MTS in FH4 1way mode with SSR vs a Noble NB4, and I also found the Sanwa felt a bit more responsive and on high speed video it did react quicker to input, so the Sanwa is lower latency, but they are within 1ms so it's a very minor difference. Looks to be similar moving up generation newer to FH5 protocol on Sanwa vs a Noble Pro. They both got every so slightly more responsive and refined.
@RC-Engineering8 ай бұрын
Hi John, much appreciated! While latency is important, there is more to the feel of the controller. How the A-to-D and D-to-A converters handle the info stream is the major influence. Sanwa has typically been a leader in this (explains why many pro drivers that don't have a radio deal choose Sanwa). The purpose of the test was to see if I could detect a difference and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. Sanwa is still great but it's also good to see the Noble Pro is a real option, especially at the price of their receivers.

The ECU has maps it choses based on sensor readings. It also has trims of the parameters in a map, so it can best adapt. The map and trim is adjusted as you ride and not selected instantly meaning it will adapt slowly as you ride. With major changes like intake and exhaust, it will take a while for the ECU to best adapt and will be “caught up” with the mods.

That's ECU reprogramming. They are changing the maps to give better performance and target the mods they have made. The stock ECU is mapped around great fuel mileage, but performance often sacrifices fuel mileage. It's about balancing personal priorities.

That magnet had some much larger metal splinters on it. I was pleased to have both magnets clean even if the oil wasn’t desperately in need of change.
I also have a ‘23, traded off my ‘22 on it. I have absolutely no regrets in doing so. I’m subscribed to twowheelgeriatric and really enjoy his content. Your overview was very well done, looks like I’m adding another subscription.
Just a heads up, I bought a brand new 2021 TXT 300 a few weeks ago, old stock so picked it up at a great price. Rode it once did, just over an hour, stored it in my garage with the handle bars hard right. Next day I pulled it out and started it up. Little did I know the throttle cable dislodged from the throttle on the handle bars and was resting on the edge, covered by the rubber boot so not visible to me. This effectively set the stop at about 10% throttle on. The engine started and just stared to rev its tits off. Not knowing what was happing , I twisted the throttle closed but didnt help, so pulled the kill switch on the handle bars and the engine didnt stop to my shock. About 10 seconds later the engine seized due to the piston heating up way faster than the cylinder. My dealer has now fixed it under warranty. Takeaway points from my experience The throttle cable is really short The throttle cable just floats at the connection with the throttle tube , I will be lock wiring that in place from now on. Do not rely on the kill switch to work on a 2 stroke, It must have been self igniting. Have a strategy in place so if this runaway engine happens to you , you know what to do in the 10 seconds you have before self destruct. Nigel New Zealand
Ouch! That’s a harsh start with a new bike. 😢 Before I rode the bike, I went over it carefully. Removing the airbox, wheels, tank and more, I carefully went over electrics and cable routing. Everything was fine, but I’d heard about the throttle potentially being an issue at the throttle body. After carefully going over it, I didn’t find any issues. Also, since I was very young, I always snap the throttle before starting. It has to return effortlessly or I won’t attempt to start. Not sure why I developed this habit, but I’ve found a couple times through the years where I needed to investigate before starting.
Definitely change the oil!! if you just undo the top plug for the oil and look at the magnet you will see why you want to change it. I did mine after one ride (though you don't seem to ride much id get more hours on mine after one ride then yours has.). id change it quite often while the bike is new as you seem to get plenty of bits in the oil to start with. Im in the uk and my bike has only ever run on 99 octane ( though I think you rate it different then we do)
Nice vid. I’d change the oil only to get any potential debris out as it’s a new engine. For the sake of the cost of a bit of oil definitely worth it.
Thanks! I’ll change oil before next outing 🙂
Does the 2023 model have the gearbox click/crunch when shifting from 4th gear to 5th?
I haven’t noticed! Mind you, I’ve only been practicing low speed and maybe had it in 5th 2-3 times. What I have noticed is that shifting is a deliberate effort compared to my other bikes, but I put that down more to the shifting geometry with lever shape an of course how far it is from the footpeg.
ive got a 24 model and yes it does still crunch if you don't let right off between 4th and 5th.
I'm guessing it has to do with switching out of 4th with it's multiple-engaged gears to a significant jump in ratio to 5th. One of the disadvantages of the 4+2 configuration?
@@RC-Engineering I don’t really see it as a massive disadvantage. It’s a trials bike. 1 to 4 are the only gears you would use in a section. (It’s one massive bog if you’ve got up to 4th 🤣😂). Then 5th and 6th are only used on long runs between sections. And once you get the knack of rolling right off the throttle going from 4th to 5th it doesn’t always crunch either. Just most of the time. 🤣😂
I have a 23 300 TXT and I recently switched from 93 non-ethanol fuel to 50/50 mix of 110 race gas and 89 non-ethanol to get overall gas mix to just under 100 octane. Am using with premix at 100:1. Huge improvement in the way the engine runs, much crisper, doesn’t stall as easily and kick starts more easily! 2 other club members here in NC with same bike have done the same and are equally pleased. 👍
ive been trying to find videos on the decha tube for a while. i did mine maybe 5 months ago. i also run the K&N air filter and the K&N oil filter with royal purple 10w40maxcycle. i also have a cheap amazon exhaust but i want the yoshimura rs-9t in the future as my amazon exhaust is already rattling. what are you thinking of your setup? not many people modify the stock airbox and some get an oil cooler to support the fairings with big bore setups.
oh and i use the tst worx industries ram airbox cover. overpriced piece of plastic but it looks very nice and factory.
I’m really pleased with my setup. The intake mods with the Decha tube and modified cover seem to be an improvement. Combined with the high mount Tyga exhaust, I’ve seen a significant gain in overall performance.
@@RC-Engineering dont forget the ecu flash, the motors come running lean from the factory due to emissions which is why airbox was so choked off. The ecu will not be able to see the new amount of air and less restriction due to the lack of wideband sensor (02) and with same fuel trim and more air youll run hotter than stock!!!
CTSR ? I race there haha , such a cool RC complex
you have to check out the Radiomaster MT12!
Excellent new bike overview and interesting points you make. Do more vids soon. Cheers
Great choice, non of your sherco/scorpa nonsense
lol, thanks. I might have considered the new Sherco/Scorpa, but it would never be at the price I got the GG for. The more I learn about it, the more I’m loving this TXT!
Why did you choose to go decha tube instead of the full airbox delete options like chimera or mmtnbox?
For weatherproofness. I intend on riding year round and need the bike to be ok in rain. Plus I ride on dusty road at times and need that protection too. So far no water issues and even in heavy dust the air cleaner doesn’t see much. Happy with this setup!
I hated the way the clutch line snapped as well. I just used a zip tie to move it away, but now I'll do the permanent fix with the Dremel. Looking forward to seeing some trials videos!
I have just stepped into RC specifically Associate RC10B6.4D 1/10 2WD which runs at our local track. As a beginner with a descent budget what would be a couple of recommendations ?
I have the same bike and it is a blast! You'll love it, trials is the best!
Enjoy!
Great choice Phil! Wishing you lots of happy riding. Welcome to trials
Thanks Josh! See you out there :)
Do they have one where the wheel can rotated for left hand operation- right hand/finger on stick/trigger?
The Noble radio (regular and Pro) is BOTH left and right. When you take it out of the case the wheel is pointed away in the center and you need to rotate it to the side you want. It's "stiff" to rotate so it doesn't move when using it. It also means that you can adjust the angle you want, being able to offset like other brands need plates to do. When you look under the screen, there is a protractor to show the angle you have it set at to easily set it back at that angle every time. Quite a simple and smart solution :)
I have the tyga exhaust, tst air box upgrade and a tune. Same color and year as yours, I also have the tst tail eliminator kit and smoked integrated turn signals.
Hi Phil, great to see you on KZread and thanks for testing this! My last test was with a Sanwa MTS in FH4 1way mode with SSR vs a Noble NB4, and I also found the Sanwa felt a bit more responsive and on high speed video it did react quicker to input, so the Sanwa is lower latency, but they are within 1ms so it's a very minor difference. Looks to be similar moving up generation newer to FH5 protocol on Sanwa vs a Noble Pro. They both got every so slightly more responsive and refined.
Hi John, much appreciated! While latency is important, there is more to the feel of the controller. How the A-to-D and D-to-A converters handle the info stream is the major influence. Sanwa has typically been a leader in this (explains why many pro drivers that don't have a radio deal choose Sanwa). The purpose of the test was to see if I could detect a difference and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. Sanwa is still great but it's also good to see the Noble Pro is a real option, especially at the price of their receivers.
What do you mean by “let the mapping catch up”?
Great quality video by the way!
The ECU has maps it choses based on sensor readings. It also has trims of the parameters in a map, so it can best adapt. The map and trim is adjusted as you ride and not selected instantly meaning it will adapt slowly as you ride. With major changes like intake and exhaust, it will take a while for the ECU to best adapt and will be “caught up” with the mods.
Ok I see. I’ve heard of people tuning it using the ecu. So is that just because they want instant adjustments?
That's ECU reprogramming. They are changing the maps to give better performance and target the mods they have made. The stock ECU is mapped around great fuel mileage, but performance often sacrifices fuel mileage. It's about balancing personal priorities.
