Badass video didn't say where you got it didn't say the size of jet pipe didn't say about how much it cost didn't say anything of what you did to it at all and how you got it to that build, thumbs down in a major major major major way what's the point of that what's the point of making that video if somebody's clicking on your gosh damn channel is because they wanted to know the size of jetpipe carburetor the deck where you got all your parts where they can get that build, it doesn't make any sense to make this video it makes zero sense man absolute garbage dude super irritating there's not one GoPed channel where they say where they got everything at and what size things are and where to order from an optionals despicable dude it's absolute garbage man!!!!
Is there any possible goddamn way that somebody can say where they got it from how much does it cost, and what's the best parts are there's not one goddamn channel that tells you the things that people want to mucking know it's the fucking ditch ass it's bitch ass $hit bro say where you got it from dog how much is it what parts can you buy to get the optimum performance out the gosh damn engine bro like how come nobody says anything of any of this stuff nobody does why I want to know why is it are we in a simulation is it NPC programming to have it to be where nobody knows where anybody got anything that of the bill that they have it makes zero sense to me if they were me I'd be like yo so this is what I did do it this is where I got it this around how much it cost these parts I got here's some optional parts this is the size of muffler this is the size of air intake carburetor yada yada yada how come nobody does that it's mucking odd to me dude🎉
Hey Ben, Kyosho shows using a restrictor plug in the carb for break in. Do you use that? I haven't seen one mentioned in any break in except their manual.
I need the deck
How good is this rc? How much did it cost? Where did you get it? Is this the same one on amazon?
No vids of the run afterwards??? 😢
love your collection
This 3 speed is from around 2000 it’s nothing new as is the chassis, it’s a mad force, transmission is no problem, I guess this is to just make a vid, you just wasting your time 😂
Amazing and well presented collection.To see this collection makes me almost feel normal 😅 So,I would sincerely love to see more of your iconic Traxxas Nitro Vee 🤗
Go trump
Thanks so much man! Mine is on the way and this is the first thing I'll be doing.
Видео не о чем, зря время потратил.
Just picked up one of these for the kiddo for Christmas. Thanks for the breaking series as this is my first nitro rc my self! Very informative! I’m excited as I wanted one of these when I was a kid lol, but never got one.
We’re to order
❤🎉😮😊ไฟไฟแอดพ์สาว
Do you do this style of break ins to all of your nitros? It's basically how I did mine years ago to my HPI savages .21 on up to the Ofna's .26/.28's.. I didn't know about the pinch zone at tdc which I will keep in mind. I have two new nitros to break in and will be sure to keep the piston at bdc while cooling.. Your awesome and deserve way more subscribers!
@m1pistonhead appreciate your videos on this truck! Any idea why I can’t hit the throttle on mine? If I go any more than maybe half throttle, it acts like it’s in neutral w/ super high RPM and no forward movement. I’d think it’s a shift issue, but per your video it sounds like 1st gear is always engaged? I just finished the break in so I can’t imagine I broke anything. Thanks again!
Finally, a man that knows how to break in an engine! I can attest to this method. I do it pretty much the same way. The only difference is, after the fourth tank, I raise the idol a bit more and periodically rev to about quarter to half throttle for short periods of time for a straight three tanks without ever letting the engine turn off. So after the four tanks of running and cooling, I run it with out letting it run out of fuel. That about it. The whole time running super fat. After that I hit the ground for adjustment and full throttle slowly. Never had a problem. This guy knows his stuff. Definitely listen up. P.S if it’s super tight, unscrew the glow plug to release pressure. Once started, tighten it back down, these things will run with the glow plug almost completely out.
great video-- thanks
nah man I had the same issue with the standard battery pack, upon pulling the servo apart the wires had been separated inside the servo
Just ordered one of these getting back into rc after 10 years. I use to love Nitro for bashing Rc10gt, traxxas jato and I use to race electrics at the local track . You bet I'm going to watch all your vids on the usa 1 nitro . And I subbed btw
I need to get one of these
I think I will buy 2 one to just keep on a shelf and one to bash hahaha . I love the look
The engine in this kit was it a rovan 29cc?
It was a rovan 29cc engine I think, I had one on my last goped and it was identical, and I’ve got another coming for my new build
There are many people who don't like motorcycles, like they hate hunters. You are literally posting videos of you breaking the law. So think about what these people are doing? They're gathering your videos as proof that the motorcyclist are driving down main roads without a license, going off trails and blazing their own. You are feeding them the ammunition to end cycling at rampart range. Spread the word and watch what you are posting.
At what point in this video is the law being broken?
Thanks for posting this. Needed this for the yellow springs lol.
Effin car guys…. The stuff you guys thinks helps break in a 2 cycle nitro engine is just a joke.
I wanna see more of that kyosho quad too cool ive always wanted one
When you put the bearings back on the shaft how do they need to be set can’t get this same truck to work won’t go into second or third ?
Awesome! We need more snow videos
Nitro 4 life 🏎💨
Yes! Nitro is the glory!
Nice monster truck Ben. You did a good job going over what you need to do with a new engine. It really kicks. Great job. 👍👍
I just purchased one yesterday. Will receive it sometime this upcoming week and plan to try your fix. Havent finished video yet, but after all this time, can you still confirm that these washers you added fully solve the issues? Do you remember exact sizes of washers/spacers you used?
That was really close at 10:58 ua-cam.com/video/ruYTmmQPTLM/v-deo.html
haha yes it was! We had a few close ones that day
thanks for the detail in this video What servo would you recommend to upgrade steering?
Thanks bud I been wanting to purchase this truck for a while but with all the transmission issues I’ve been on hold, thanks to this excellent video it gave me the confidence to go buy it today! Thanks again
Back when traxxas used to make real looking metal stamped chassi vehicles
This place looks amazing. Why is it not being advertised all over Colorado?
It is a truly great facility. Follow RC Club Of The Rockies and the Gobbler RC Race pages on facebook! There is talk of another race this February...
Nice collection Ben! Can you do a video on your HPI RS4 Nitro? A HPI RS4 Sport was my first hobby grade RC from years ago and still have it. Just recently got the HPI WR8 Nitro. Wouldn't mind seeing your whole collection actually. Also have the Kyosho USA1 Nitro like yours. Would be cool to see your go ped collection and detailed video of your flight trailer. Thanks and happy holidays!
very super . talk you later,mr,🤠
Forget all you see here it's not the transmission its the axles taking out the transmission, take your drive shaft off turn it by hand. It's so bad. Move washer shim never have any problems again.
Piece of junk. Reminds me of the sandmaster Mt that I once had. Even 10th scale nitro cars have metal clutch/gear transmissions. Kyosho really screwed everyone with this turd. They used the cheapest parts and materials on this one. Trans gears aren't supposed to be wear items. I bet it gets discontinued soon.
I sure hope you broke that engine in first before doing those high speed runs.
Kyosho brake-in on that engine is to use the brake-in ring and run 5 tanks with no full throttle. I have never done this brake-in. Was hoping you was going to do this. I'm 55 and I have had 100s of nitro engines and did every way of brake-in there is. I find using 20% nitro and using Traxxas way of braking in to be the best and fastest. It don't really matter what method of brake in you use as long as you heat cycle the engine on the first 2 or 3 tanks. For those that want to give me lip on how your way is best, I have nitro engines I have put 10 15 gallons of fuel through. I have a sirio .27 that has about 20 gallons of fuel through it. I have had engines that busted skirts after 5 6 gallons.
I just subscribed, this could be the most informative video I've seen on this truck for break in. I have a few of them . But, some reason this one seems different.
Are those the Kendra off roads on the blue GSR? How do you like them compared to the street tires for going on roads?
Yes those are Kenda 304's. I really like them both on and off road. They are a good 50/50 tire.
@@m1pistonhead awesome thanks! I think I'll swap my tires out this weekend. Getting close to the end of ped season where I live!
Nice KTM enduro in the background,
Hi Ben, thnx for this great video and step by step instructions! I just bought this great truck, didn't drive it yet and I was kind of surprised about this issue. You don't expect such major issues on a new model. However looking at the exploded view in my manual I see the 6x13x1 shim at the rear support is already installed. Did Kyosho watch your video and solved the problem you think? This shim was not there in your model initially right? In that case maybe I don't have to do anything? Thanks for your reply! Regards, Mark (the Netherlands)
Thanks Ben for the great content. I just ordered one and excited for this truck. Have you installed the 4 wheel steering yet and the LEDs for the lights? Thanks
Thanks Alex! I have not installed the 4ws yet.. not sure if I will or not. Light kit for sure tho!
