Good trick to get those bearings out get it on hot plate like you cooked pancakes on said the block on end set it to 400° walk away go do something for 10 minutes or so come back in the bearings would be laying on the hot same goes for putting them in freeze the bearings lay the block on the hot plate they drop in and when everything comes temperature in nice and tight

Man, ALL your videos are so helpful, I'm one of them old guys that's been in the Rc world since the early '80's. Just got into nitro and every question I have had you have answered in your videos. Love the humor too.
I have a question for you. I recently acquired a Redcat Hurricane xtr with the SH 28, I found an abc sleeve and piston and a rear bearing, however I cannot seem to locate the front bearing - where can i find one please?
Thanks You Rock.

Hey man. Have you ever heard of buku? If you have what’s your opinion on their products? I have their clutch and it’s amazing but I was wondering what you think of those crank case caps they sell? They’re supposed to help prevent air leaks from the front bearing. I seen on Google that people are worried the grease could get sucked into the bearing and make things worse. (Btw I have ceramic bearings all round in my unbroken-in 3.3.)

Fantastic video. Let me first I love the humor 100%. I had a nitro engine sitting too long due to a move. Took it apart and got some measurements to replace a few internal parts. Can you recommend a good supplier in US for bearings, piston rod and sleeves? New sub by the way.

@thebug4046 Thanks for the response. I'm working on a Fusion X engine. I can't tell which variant it is there's no other visible markings to identify it. Rctech page has a long thread showing various models. I'm looking to replace bearings and piston/sleeve. Hope that helps

Have you ever pinched a sleeve? I have three I didn’t throw away and I have been meaning to try it. One guy used a small band clamp, heated the crap out of it and quenched it. Seems like a hell of a trick.

[@thebug4046]

If sometimes you can buy pinching tools on eBay but You have to make a sleeve ring so you will get it round and pinched in the right spot otherwise the piston will never go all the way into the cylinder again. It's something I'm gonna do some experimenting with at a later date

[@josephwatkins2335]

Hey man thanks for watchin! And order the piston and sleeve kit pin and rod for the Dynamite big red. It's an upgrade for the 28P3 engine. No modifications required. amain hobby should have everything you need. The SH 28P3 is basically the exact same as the dynamite big red. Different look and Different ports that's it.

As for the bearings did you factory SH Bearings and are they good? or another brand,
heard in another one of your videos that Fast Eddy bearings quality is going down hill. What brand bearings would you recommend. Thanks!!!

[@thebug4046]

I used a ceramic rearbearing in a steel front NTN front and Acer rear. And yeah I don't run Fast Eddie anymore unless there's something like wheel bearings I do not put them in engines I've had too many failures and seen too many come apart they are very soft cheap stainless steel bearings which do not put up with the extreme heat and rpm of these engines

What engine mount you using for the .28? Been trying to find a engine mount for a .21 sh off road competition engine.... putting it on my tmaxx 3.3

[@thebug4046]

This engine is for my HPI savage X 4.6 there is no big block tmaxx stuff available anymore. And it was expensive to do it because nothing fits since everything has to be upgraded in order to made it work. The best thing to do is return that engine and just buy an OS 21TM it is designed for Traxxas cars and trucks. Just be sure it says for Tmaxx! Because the revo engine is different! The tmaxx engine is plug and play no modifications or special parts required and it's an os so it's already better quality

[@dancj10]

@thebug4046 I thought so, but I'll just upgrade my 1/8 Buggy then. Swap my newer engine in that instead. I guess nothing was all lost lol. I did just buy the OS 21TM for the tmaxx for sure. Just wanted a something a little better than those 3.3 traxxas makes that are kinda crap. 320 bucks later, but hey nothing is all lost. All still win for me anyways since I was gonna upgrade my 1/8 Buggy that has the 3.0 kyosho. Thanks again for the reply!!

@@dancj10 you will like the 21tm they run awesome much better then the 3.3 and they last a really long time! Just take your time on the break in the os is a tight engine and takes more than then 6 tanks Traxxas says to use. Preheat is a must!

[@irony4057]

Bit of an odd question... and I would prefer to ask people who really spend time with nitro motors to get opinions from... I have a Cen Genesis 7.7 motor finally gave out and while i will replace the piston and sleeve at some point, at the moment I have all kinds of nitro motors but little funds to order replacement parts. I was going to ask if you or anyone else watching could give an honest opinion... I have 3 motors I have been thinking of using as temp replacements to enjoy the truck again. I have an Axial .32RR, a Losi 454, and an Ofna .32. Do you think any of these will have the.... clout? to push a truck that big?
