If your Engine hasn't been started for several months, starting it can be a hassle. They usually won't start as easily as if they'd been started recently. This tutorial covers some steps in getting it set up and ready for use again. If you've got any questions feel free to drop me a message below!

Use a heat gun or even a blow dryer to warm up engine before starting is probly the best tip I can give for easy startup.
Yes that's fine if you're at home with electricity :)
Lol, yes it only works if you have access to electricity ,or battery powered heat gun though I have never seen a battery powered heat gun.
I do the same, and it is the best way of getting your engine started.
@@Al_Man9oori genius
No need for electricity.12v head heater will do. Again. I agree better to pre heat the engine. You already know why
I’m about to restart a Revo after YEARS in storage. This video was a great refresher on running nitros. Thanks for your work!
Glad it was helpful! Please subscribe for regular RC content
Thank you!
This simple, yet complex enough to understand a Nitro engine video is very helpful.
and a lot of searching has only gotten me more confused. so I appreciate you explaining well, the base necessities involving pre-starts etc.
More fun now, to be had
I’m brand new to nitro and bought one a while back. I happen to find it out in storage and was trying to get it back to working order. I couldn’t until I watched your video and followed it step by step and to my amazement it started right up. That’s for the great self explanatory video brother
Thanks for watching!

JT12's R/C Video sooo can you help me with some tips normaly i drive electric but i bought a kind off big truck with hpi engine almost looks the same didnt start it yet the pull starter is dead but its kinda like a traxxas t maxx with a hpi engine and stuff :D was 35 euro with a extra body etc so it was prety cheap so i dont know how long it isnt used i also have to replace the servos etc
JT12's R/C Videos the engine will 'cut' 😐 and wash with water?? there still will be water residue in it! you get proper cleaning chemicals for cleaning a tank so you do that leave and water×small jets in a carb = rebuild. your not really explaining how and what to do properly like it will 'cut' you mean stall wash with hot water. there will still be water residue in it! and blocking the exhaust could cause the engine to blow up if it started! and that would be a nice cut into your bank account! and if a engine sits for a while you should properly clean out the carb or it could not pass through fuel cause it will be gummed up with rubbish!! plus learn technical terms when talking about an engine cause it will really annoy people who now better about them than you and their probably the ones who dislike the video!! so learn proper terms and use comment scenes!
I read this comment three times and it still makes not the slightest bit of sense to me :) could you elaborate please, this time using a bit of punctuation?
JT12's R/C Videos hey what if you have carb issues what would you do then
Gta 5 Expert get a new carb or rebuild/ clean it out with brake cleaner!
I enjoy how everything done was recapped before starting the engine.
Thanks :)
Been hunting for hours on how to start my nitro engine with no luck, found this video and 12 minutes it started!
Thanks for watching
That bird in the background was priceless
I swear it was laughing 😂
I'm quite new to the nitro world always had cars as a kid and all your videos have been great I'm stripping and rebuilding now just after a few months......keep up your good work Josh 👌
Thanks :) Glad they help
Thanks for the tips! I have a nitro rustler that I bought 10 years ago. Haven't run the engine in about 8 years!
Should run a engine atleast every week to keep it from sticking
@@jonathanoxlade4252 kyosho engines just work. Old pureten spider I found in the shed started right over and my dad must of left it there for atleast 10 years.
the quality of your videos has really gone up. great stuff
I dropped my phone 4 times and acidentaly clicked here now i think that rc cars are better than drones :)
(srry for bad english 3rd language my apology).
Acid Shot Honestly, you write better then half of us native speakers...
It was meant to be 🙂
Because it was an accident
Started mine kyosho gx15 engine arter 14 years. Cleaned the old fuel out of the gas tank. Charged the igniter and it started after 4 pulls. In the middle of the winter! Hello from Norway! 🇳🇴
Just used 4 hours on a kyosho inferno that sat for 7 years, opened UA-cam and this video was The first to popup...
Thank you a lot! When I put some nitro fuel on the piston head, it started. It took a few electric starts, but when I got it started from putting fuel on the piston head, I could run my nitro car from the fuel tank! Thank you a lot man you helped a lot.👍
Great videos! I just got an OS .15 CVX started up after sitting for 20 years. Elbow grease got it I unseized then it started like a dream on new fuel, I didn’t over rev it though on the first tank, second tank it ran beautifully, my car is an antique HPI RS4 1
You saved my truck thank you all this time thought it was igniter, I let it sit after I used it did your trick .primed it started right up thank you for your tips,they work very well.
I just watched a video of you four years ago oh my lord! Looks like you’ve improved!!! Props mate
Massive thank You. Using this my nitro car which has sat for over a year has started again. It's a little lumpy but most likely the old fuel still burning off. Thank you again
No problem, glad it helped
wonderful video, felt like school haha
haha. thanks!
Wow I used to watch your videos a long time ago when you was a kid and helped me alot with nitro cars.Glad to see your still in the hobby and doing well 👍
Great guide, really like your videos...BUT. One fatal mistake on this one. You adjusted idle gap from fully closed, with your throttle trim. When you get it started this way, the engine will stall when you apply the brakes. ALWAYS. Make sure idle gap is as specified 1-2mm when brake is applied, this way the servo is forcing it shut( but adjust with open throttle, or you may damage the carb). Again, love your guides, well spoken and eksplaned.
Yeah of course. Maybe I just did it for quickness when recording the video :/
JT12's R/C Videos i just have seen many people with that specifik problem, 😉
Thanx ser im 55 yers old pat yuo are lik mi techar thanx for yuo and for ane bady geve mi alsen bi ser👏👏🇰🇼
Thank you for this vid, I got a Tamiya TGS running that had been sat for about 2 years using your tips.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the help man, youre the best. This is the first video that was useful to me and I havent used my redcat shockwave in about a year. I followed what you did and my car worked! Thanks for the help. It saved me a lot of time and energy. ;)
no worries, glad it helped :D
Very grateful for the information. I have a fairly old Schumacher pro 21. It's been more or less 10 years since i had it running. I did the full checks on condition etc and i have to rebuild the clutch assembly before i can attempt starting her but she's been in dry storage so apart from a tune up, I'm looking forward to having her running again.
Good video! I started my savage today but i realized that the second gear did not engaged. The engine started nicely though.
Thanks a lot. Got Kyosho MP777 WC for my son ( and me ) Xmas present. I have rebuild everything and was struggling to start ;) Followed yr video with priming etc and our buggy is alive. Now I need to tune it. Job for tomorrow. Thanks again
very informative refresher tutorial , i miss using my nitro buggy.
btw you over flooded the engine, but it did help lubricate the motor well before it actually started.
i recommend fresh after run oil instead of nitro gas after removing glow plug then crank it a few times without glow plug igniter.
then prime and add power to start the engine.
Thx for the vid. It when I was starting it it was sounding good then my cord snapped but the vid was very helpful when I get a new one
Kaleb Wells you can repair the cord start or get new lead
Yesss thanks to this video i started a nitro buggy after 10 YEARS storage :)))))))
Awesome : )
He is so grown up since the old videos
pancake airsoft he's quit youtube
Noway, why did he quit? i just left a long-ass comment saying he should never stop :( I started late so he's helped me alot.
I texted him saying why is he not uploading and he said that he has ran out of video ideas, add him on Facebook and message him there asking him to come back. If you need any help just ask me or join a forum called rc talk, I’m on there and it really helped when I started nitro everywhere.
@@nitro-rc6241 I'm Back!
@@dudebremnajs I'm Back !
Very clear instructions great video thanks for your help 😊
Very good video! It would be a good idea also to make one explaining how a bad glow plug looks
Yo that was the best video I’ve watched
Thank you for your videos FINALLY some one explain properly !
Thanks for this, mine has been stored for around 11 years so will be interesting :)
Was it easy to get it going again? Mines been sitting for around 5 years haven't tried anything yet lol
@@dungdippedindian3933 Its still in loft :)
I have a old kyosho pureten alpha with the gx12 engine that's been sat since 2012 might just have to dig it out and give this a try
this video has helped me so much
FoolishTv Gaming it's so sad he quit UA-cam :(
Ik
Fantastic video,great and simple advice.my lad had a carnage nt for Christmas and loves it
Glad it helped :)
I got this revo 3.3 it's been sitting for long time.I got it running ran good put screws back to factory settings before starting she was doing good then the idle was up and down by it self the the piston seized in the cylinder the only thing I could think of is it was sucking air.
Tried all the tricks in the video. Any other tips? Engine taken apart and looks ok
Hell yeah nitro all the way baby!!
Saw the video just now, it's great. You pointed out all of the things that I can think of, awesome Job! keep it up Man :)
Thanks : )
thanks for your rc nitro video from pierre from Canada
Thanks for watching :)
Nice job...I was waiting for Seagull attack tho'. Good Video helped me get mine started after buying one used that sat for ever I guess.
This is what i need! Thank you!!
No worries
best channel ..
Thx RC biker very informative & helpful it was once described to me nitro is like working on an old 70 s sportscar it isn't that difficult no more than an old motorcycle or small plant like chainsaw just takes preventative maintenance and common sense !!
Glad it helped
Very usefull tutorial for nitro beginners.
No worries Thanks for watching :)
helped a lot man, thank you!
YOURE BACK!
Sure am :)
Another great video hope to see more of the absima truggy
Yes, taking it out this week.
Hmm. I have a kyosho hawaii pure ten and it had been sitting on a shelf for 7 years. The bearings where coroded. I just lubed the bearings with dw-40 till it would turn over. Filled it up some 25% nitro meth and it started like a dream and still runs like a dream. And yes, i know that it´s basicaly a mowing granade because of the bearings.
Air Plus Fuel plus hot glow plug Plus compression equals it has no choice but to at least hit like any two stroke if all else fails hold the throttle wide open it will clear itself out and run
Ten celsius isn't cold, man. I ran nitro stuff in northern Minnesota when it was -30 ~ -40C and they started fine if you warmed up the cylinder with a hairdryer for 30 seconds first. :D
No it's not cold, but it's cold for us in the UK :D or at least, it feels cold!
JT12's R/C Videos is usually -5 in uk?
Not where I live it isn't :)
JT12's R/C Videos where abouts are you?
Thanks bro, great tutorial, here is my like and subscribe
I have seen inside engines that have sat for a year with no after run oil, and it wouldn't run st all no matter how hard I tried. So I took the engine apart and cleaned all of the sludge and stuff up and it ran again. If you can't get it to start at all I would advice tearing it apart and making sure every component inside that engine is super clean. But make sure you re oil your piston and connecting rod and bearings before you put it together
Na man, I've just bought an OS max .40 FX with fuel all gummed up inside. I've put some fuel in it, let the fuel drain out, put it in my plane, connected fuel lines, heated it up and it started just fine
Thanks so much, this helped me so much. Please upload more videos.
I don’t know anything about rc cars but I want to learn from scratch is there any videos from start to finish an where can I buy pieces I need I just got a lot of stuff for free an now I want to learn everything I can
Hi mate , had my stepsons nanda buggie started after few months in house starts no problem but won't stop on the ground just stalls can't figure it out had no problems before with it could the clutch be gone ?
make sure you leave the buggie running for a minute or so to allow the engine to heat up, lift the wheels off the ground and gently give gas, if the wheels turn then the clutch should be fine, then put the buggie back on the floor, give it a gentle push and apply a small amount of throttle and try and maintain speed, it should then work, if it stalls it's probably not getting enough fuel so unscrew the screw a little nex5 to the engine to allow more fuel in.
Hey this video is very helpful. But please tell me what happens when the Air filter keep removes for a long time does it bad to the engine.
Depends entirely on the conditions. If you've been driving on dirt / sand then I'd certainly look at taking the engine apart and cleaning the parts. If it's been on tarmac then it wont be as bad, but personally I'd clean it either way.
Can you do a video on how to clean gelled fuel out engine
Hi mate. Can you please answer my question. What happens if you have a bad flywheel. Like slipping flywheel? What difference effect it makes ??
I had a half full gallon jug of 10% nitro sitting in the garage for over 10 years. It looked ok smelled ok so I put it in my Fox 46 nitro engine. It ran great no problems..
I’ve got a Nitrotek condor but struggling to start it and keep it going without cut out also have problems with steering thanks
Craig Harris what is it like when you start It? Like this comment otherwise I don't get the notification to reply to you
I got my next door neibours car that’s nitro had a seized engine used the heat gun used some force on the fly wheel for the both of the cars they run mint
Good work!
Thanks mate maybe you could do a vid on that
Nice work. My brother had a plane from back in the 70's. It was a sit in the middle and control the wings by a weak string connections and after 10 or more minutes you were walking in circles acting like drunkards. Can't walk or see straight.
Ohh, and how about a video, where you go through the problems of airleaks..( mayor issue on many cars). And worn out pistons etc.
yes I will do. I have quite a lot on at the moment but it's on the list
yeah i cant get mine to start but i think it might be because of the glow plug it seems to glow nice but i dont think i have ever really changed it
mate, good video. i had a nitro car and this is the problem that l went through but i had no idea of replacing the fuel. Mate, l used to get a lot of smoke wen l started the car, can you tell me why. Thanks
Ty this is why I like my drones build racing drones and they're a lot simpler I charge a battery I put it on I start the rig I fly battery gets low I bring it in hanging on my wall when I'm done
I like drones too :)
Electric debate too honest electric can be too
Much as much as these 75cc petrol engines you see for the 1/5 scale cars electric is more complicated because of the battery get it wrong and burn your house down too be honest gas cars are more fun it’s simpler to get a lipo charger that charges simply in a simple way meaning more fun grab your gas grab your receiver battery and bash around your local field lol on the plus side your car won’t catch on fire so that’s a bonus aswel
@@jonathanoxlade4252 🙄🤔🙂
I inherited two nitro cars that haven't been used for like a decade, I know basically nothing, but I want to learn more. Can you please explain the basics for me?
You best watch more of my videos then :D It's all in there
Hi Josh, I was wondering if you could help me. One of my friends has given me some RC's and I have no idea what they are if I send you some pics would you be able to help? Also great vids. I have been a subscriber for years on your channel. Also what make is your glow ignitor and where would i be able to get one? Keep these vids coming.
your back again
Yes I've been back for a while now! Check out the new vids
josh if you remove the orange venturi from the carburetor you will see a the 1mm opening gap, keep that in mind, incase you adjust the idle screw or increase throttle trims and when you start it, it may take off mate :) by the way there is rust at the bottom of my glow plug mate. also, what type of glow plug will need for my .15 engine?
Depends on the brand
Very nice 👍love this kind of informative videos.Thank you!
No worries, thanks for watching - more coming soon!
When you pour fuel directly into the cylinder as you did ...always spin over the engine to get the excessive fuel out of the cylinder...it also gets it closer to a gas state. If too much fuel is put in remember fuel does not compress so with a very powerful starter you could do damage to the engine.
Great videos brother. Keep it up 🤘
I like your videos and you helped me a lot of times, but may i ask how many cars do you have that you just "forget" about one?
None :D
Do you have sponsored cars? Don't know if you are joking or you really dont have cars lol. By the way keep up the good work i learned many things from you.
i had a traxxas sitting for 2 years the gas that was inside it was literally jelly and so sticky it took 20 minutes to clean it out and the engine took forever to start and after a few minutes of riding just stalled and would not turn on again so we just put it back in the basement it been in there for 2 years now any tips to getting running without stalling?
I need help!! Just bought 2 nitro cars from someone and they both worked fine for a few hours... but 1 doesn't wanna start anymore even though it has compression... and the 2nd one now stalls when I hit the throttle... the problemen... they are made for 20% nitromethane... I used 25% nitromethane. How bad can it be damaged from this mistake? Nothing has blown up but 1 doesn't start anymore... it wants to start sometimes and idle for 3 seconds at best and the other one can only idle....
Good afternoon. I write to you from Ukraine, a bad translation. I want to ask you a question. I have mercedes dtm 2008. He went and worked, but then something went wrong. The car is a bad start .. the engine is roaring, the bell is spinning, but the car does not go, jerks take, thought the clutch, bought a new one, similarly does not work. I noticed that the bell is rotating in another direction, I changed the bearings, did not help, I installed new bast shoes, it also did not help. - what could it be? My engine is set up correctly. it accelerates quickly, there are turns, but there is no catch in the clutch .. I changed them already 3, + rollers + bearings, no difference .. does not go. I need help..
The clutch shoes are on the wrong way
Thank you !
I just bought a ftx carnage and my son crashed it into a tree last week
It started up fine after the crash but the front bar was bent.
I have replaced this but now it wont start
Any ideas as I've tried everything suggested
Hi John, I don't think the crash is related to it not starting. have you tried putting some fuel directly in the glow plug hole to see if it fires up? Also check the glow plug is working, and, It may sound obvious - but make sure your igniter is charged up!
I've figured it out, there was some kind of fuel blockage. I emptied the system and shortened the piping
Firing up fine now
I have a question for you what if engine has that bronze middle tuning ? Can you show a video on how to adjust that one
Hi real simple one how do you turn a nitro car off?
And also I think its idle speed is a bit fast is there a way of tuning it down?
uh...ive had nitro fuel thats been chillin in my garage for about 5 years OR MORE...and it still works a charm.
It all depends where you keep it ;) Cool dark place like a garage will be OK. But some people put it in warm lofts or garden summerhouses where it hot & condensates
@@TheRCBiker ah i got ya, yah it was kept in a garage just chillin. Then when i went to use it again i half suspected it not to work but decided to give it a go and YEP worked like new. I did gently mix it though just to be safe.
i used Carburetor cleaner sense the fuel was jelly inside the engine i got it started in 2 days but i don't use it much sense of the cold and the nitro i have will only last for 2 1/2 tanks or so
You should've used just normal nitro fuel instead of carburetor cleaner, carburetor cleaner will dissolve your gaskets.
thats what i need for my SST NITRO BUGGY/TRUGGY. so the recommended gap in the carberator is 1-2mm?
So do I do the same thing if my car has been sitting for 12 years. And I don't have a pull start or box because my brand doesn't make this car any more. Do I use a drill or a rope?
Ethyn 199 it will have either a pull start or some kind of thing to insert a special bit into for electric start. What is this car?
If it is for setting for months, I usually open the engine first to make sure there is no rust build up inside.
Why would there be rust in there? You shouldn't have much moisture in there Especially after just a couple months. Just always use after run and you'll be fine. Dont bother checking unless you decide to just put a couple more drops of after run in.
if you use the method to start it by blowing on the tube then you should use see through pipes.
Hi.
If my car seat 2 years without use.
What tou suggest to do?
I have also full gallon of nitro full.
I can use it?
Thanks brou you helped me out a lot!
No problem, glad it helped!
Thanks what if the oil has been in the engine for about 7 years, as my rc car is at my friends house and he said the engine is flooded and I would require a new engine along with a pipe and exhaust and pull start, is this bullshit ?
my uncle gave me his old hpi savage 25 with a .25 engine, it hasn't been started for about 3 years. any special starting tips?
nice video
hi mate , thanks for the info . just a question i bought a nitro car from ebay to have a zoom with , the car starts after a few pulls , when it starts the car cuts off after a few seconds up to 30 seconds ( note that there is little smoke coming out and the heatsink *head* is VERY hot ) the glow plug glows but not very bright and theres alot of fuel that comes out the exhaust . any tips or pointers
