Welcome to Part 4 of this Thunder Tiger Tomahawk MX restoration. In this part I will assemble the engine back and attempt to start it up. As usual there is always something wrong when completing a Project like this with old parts and without spending any money on anything at all. That's the goal here, keeping it as original as possible and just making sure it works. And no matter what, this think will be starting. Lets Do this!!
Thanks for the shout out brother. That was funny! Man that engine looked brand new. You did a great job restoring it. I'm glad it fired up. Looking forward to seeing the problem and fix on that fuel issue. Take er' easy bro. Later.
whats up my dude!! Glad you liked that, don't know why I Said you were angry, Probably because I was angry at something at the time myself. working on part 5 video right now. This is gonna become a damn sitcom sooner or later, LOL>.
I love that you are educational and entertaining
hey!! thanks! Glad you're falling my progress with this old nitro car, in part 5 I guarantee we will all see some epic driving vids on this, Otherwise I might have to go drive an electric, I hope it does not come to that!!! lol.
That was a great video when you finish with that engine that was a great job that you did he looks so bright new I am glad that you had it started making it Running I can’t wait to make video
hey man!! thanks!! I've done some more work on the car since this video and the next one up will be amazing. Gonna see this thing go FAST!!! I also got it some foam tires to test out it's optimal handling characteristics.
Yes I know When you put the hard work including your RC is it paid off at the end like when you clean your engine out and she runs like she’s brand new that is pretty awesome and keep up the good work on your videos I can’t wait for your next one
Great video brother!!! I knew it would run!!! I feel so much more comfortable now I think I’m going to pick up a used one and try my hand at it. That’s about the only kind of engine I haven’t rebuilt is a little tiny nitro engine like that. I can’t wait to see what was causing the vacuum leak. Awesome watch brother!!!
Bringing nitro back, thank you brother.
hey bro!! Thats right, I am. Just wait for part 5 where I will get this thing running at it's top speeds. Gonna be amazing.
Thats some good work homebwoi 🤣🤣🤝🏾....cant wait to see part 5...honestly!
Great video thanks. You should not be hatting on the arrma 1/5 but I know you are a petrol head only but the new arrma is awesome in my opinion. The electronics on the new arrma is truly unique.
You had me at the latex glove.
ahaha, I love that!! Welcome to the Nitro Gang. Had to wear the glove not because of the oily nitro engine, but because I touched an ARRMA, don't want any Arrma to Hand transfer, ahahaha.
Cool Hybrid! I am in the middle of a nitro engine tear down myself.
hey man, Cool. Doing this sort of thing is like playing the LOTTO, except there is a much higher chance of succeeding, lol. Mine seems to have went well, other than one issue I had which led to a back pressure problem with the fuel tank.
Yeah the Xmaxx is awesome it’s a true monster truck. Just a bigger stampede and emaxx on a grander scale. The Kraton is basically a blown up E Revo but it looks amazing. I like the new Kraton 8S as much as the Xmaxx. I’ve never owned an Arrma but I’ve thought of owning one.
what up homie!!! I got to drive an X-maxx yesterday, it wasn't mine, But I got some Nice driving shots. It drives great, just like a huge T-maxx I'd say. It was 8S too. The only Arrmas I like are the cheaper 3S trucks they sell, those are a good value. Otherwise I don't like anything about 3S.
Excelente video bastante ilustrativo, disculpa que tipo de bujía usaste. Saludos
Thank you!.
Good Work!
nice pinch up top engine has low time!! goods stuff man you can also use klotz castor oil to put it back together just not for storige
Great vid man👍👊🤘
yo yo!! Thanks my dude. Part 5 is gonna be awesome, I will finally get this running at 100%, hopefully, ahahaa.
Another good one OG!
Excellent, makes me want to get one
Thunder Cats! Hoooo!
Feels good when they work again haha
hey man!! YEs, Exactly!! Thats why I prefer nitro or gas Rc's, it's just alot more satisfying. Even the few minutes it takes to warm up a nitro engine is fun for me, because each second you're praying it does not shut off, lol.
hey dude, do a nitro conversion on that arrma, make your own nitro arrma haha!
hey bro!! Good idea, I actually though about that. The only current road block will be the fact that Electric cars would require a brake servo and the transmission's gear pitch is totally different, I would have to get creative with making a nitro Clutch bell work on this. This is why most people convert nitros into electric, it's easy. Creative idea though, I'm sure people have done it, I'll research it.
hybrid32494 could you maybe like “retrofit” a nitros transmission like a revo trans or something, but i guess then you would need custom driveshafts.. seems like alot of work haha
Forte e come nuovo ciao 😀😀😀👍👍👍👌
Hi there I have a thunder tiger tomahawk that my wife bought me new in 2010, it's only been run twice, but when I recently started it it runs awfull everything is free no issues other than I put the carb settings back to factory and it runs OK ish but not great what carb settings did you use on yours, by the way I love your videos thanks in advance Dave👌
Another good video man ! Question so you don’t necessarily have to torque down any screws to spec ?
whats up man!! Honestly, I have never checked proper torque specs for anything on any RC. And it's fine. As long as it's tight enough to where it's not going to strip or be too loose, it's fine. My goal is to be neat, do an adequate job and constantly check the risky areas like engine screws and pull start screws, then monitor them after each run.
Cool thanks man 👌
hi could you please tell me the settings for both screws on Carburettor. how may turns out from fully in, IE 0 position
It’s Thunder Tiger Tommy 🐯
I like that one!! What sort of Hair should Tommy have is what matters?
hybrid32494 a blond mullet with a couple orange stripe highlights 😂
I’m working on a team associated rc8t champion edition kit brought for 100 uk pounds I put my novarossi 28.8 in it just waiting for few parts but in all honesty I’m loving I want the new team associated rc8t3.1 kit next
I really wish arrma would do a nitro been saying this for a while
I know right! They would make a pretty nice one and I'm sure it would sell. Yers ago they were associated with Team-Durango which make race winning nitros, so it's not a far stretch for them to try again.
I agree on the X-Maxx over the 1/5th scale Arrma Kraton 8s. I prefer Arrma over Traxxas personally but to me, the 8s Kraton leaves a lot to be desired as it is out of the box.
Im curios though, why do you like to use after run oil as an assembly lube? I'm not suggesting that you use engine assembly lube on a nitro, just like you don't use it on engine piston assembly however, don't you think 3 and one or even bearing lube would be better for assembly? After run oil just doesn't have the dry start lubricating properties I'd want to see, especially at top dead center.
Also, on these nitro engines, compression really is not the correct word. They don't create compression as much as they have resistance at the top of the piston stroke. The piston sleeve is tapered at the top it doesn't compress the fuel mixture like a 2 or 4 stroke as the piston only seals at the very top of the piston stroke. The resistance is not compression, it is friction. It's like a good fart. It's not about the back pressure, it is about how tight the sphincter is. ☺
Hey Hybrid remember when I said I got 4 cars for 200 bucks last week! The video of those cars is now on my channel and you may recognize the HPI nitro rs4 roller chassis that I got
Super like 👍
Nitro gang. Although I'm just a poser now I don't have a nitro lol
It's cool man, I know you've had nitros, You still in the Gang!! and anyone who has any GAS RC is automatically in the gang without even getting "jumped in". LOLL.
Can you show how to rebuild the clutch please
where is the previous parts? Cant find em?
hey bro, im adding a playlist link for you, there are a couple vids on this RC project in the playlist. I'm sure you will find the start to finish process quite interesting.ua-cam.com/video/LCwJ03k_8CY/v-deo.html
Hi just want to know. Do you know the base settings or around the base setting of a go. 21 carb?
hey buddy! Sorry, I don't. Your best bet is to google it. Generally you can go about 3.5 turns out on the High Speed and Keep the Low speed flush with the carb body, that is usually the stock settings on most carbs. The goal is to start the motor, then you can see if it's extremely lean or rich, and adjust from there. Honestly, knowing the stock settings is not important, knowing how to adjust after the first start is highly important.
@@hybrid32494 my uncle as well. A buggy racer said the exact same thing. Just got it fired up today with the base settings. And tuned it slightly from there. Runs like an absolute beast!!!. Your channel motivated me into getting back into nitro rc thank you!
good afternoon, what is this oil that you lubricated the shirt?
hey buddy! Are you referring to the little bottle of oil I'm using? That is basic hobby grade After-run oil, most people use it for engine storage when you don't run for a while to prevent corrosion. It's just called "after-run" oil, you could get it on amazon for like 6-7 bucks.
@@hybrid32494 thanks
wassup bro cool video i have the same rc and im having trouble finding the th/bk linkage set mines broke from the Ace rc s1903 if you could help me out will appreciate it thank you
You should get the arrma 8s and throw a rovan 30cc engine in it😂😂then it would be a good car lol
that is a 100% awesome idea. It's basically already set up for a gas engine, it's got the flat pan chassis and already has a center Dif setup just like any buggy. This might happen!!
Well dun Runin sweet as a egg roll lol
thats right!! All about that Egg Roll, lOL. YOU right!!!
Great vid man love nitro just picked up a 2wd nitro slash an 2 losi xxxnts. An i agree why didnt arma get into nitro. 👎👎
whoah man, you got some amazing rc there. I just ran my Lost XXX-Nt today, drove nice!! Because a nitro rig for Arrma would be asking too much, they prefer to just sell 3 version of a Kraton that all take different battery packs, ahahaha. That's easy, less marketing, ahah.
so is the nitro Slash the Slayer? I know there were 2WD nitro models also, not like the 4WD slayer.
@@hybrid32494 the Slayer has revo style arms but are the length of reg rustler arms an is nitro as well. Don't quote me though. Lol one losi is the Adam drake addition i think cus it say graphite on the arms an the other 2 dont an it has a dynamite 12 engine but they all have been sitting for awhile. Keep up the great vids man they are improving each time man 👍👊👊
First
T-maxx Tony Confirmed, using a Keyboard and not a speed meter. LOL.
Brushed arrma I love it most of my cars are brushed I love the control oh and MAKE A VIDEO OF IT don’t buy Traxxas they’re a HORRIBLE company
hey my friend!!! Just for you, I will make this ARRMA video. I agree, brushed motors are still awesome, they get the job done too. Back then this Arrma was really cheap, I think I paid like 90 bucks for it brand new.
hybrid32494 I don’t remember what it’s called ARRMA what
8s arrma 1/5 over priced not very fast probably your nitro and gas RC cars are faster and more rewarding to drive /gas and nitro RC forever 👍🇬🇧🏎️
whats up my dude!!! Yes, I don't see anything special about the fake overpriced 1/5 Arrma. In my opinion electrics should never cost more than 400 bucks.
