    You can see why he is the champion racer . I’ve learned so so much information about these engines helps me to have some of the best running engines.
    I can’t wait to try this sleeve pinch technique on some of my engines! I’ve seen many videos on repinching techniques but I would have to say this method and explanation is spot of for a top running engine.
    After all this guy should definitely know about correct pinch height in a nitro engine. Thanks bro for the always invaluable advice and tips. Keep up the good work.
    Ps Would love to get a hold of one of your worn out race engines for the mantle piece

      There are a number of different tools out there. The tool I use from B Mods Racing was only available for a short time and produced in low volume. The tool looks very simple, but the detailed and precise machining is what makes it work well.

    I actually believe a pinched engine can be faster than a new engine. I had an os vz-b engine that was pinched and because the rest of the engine was nicely worn in and running well, refreshing the pinch for a better bang made it go so fast it was unreal.

      My mate had a "guy" repinch my motor before philippine masters last year. This motor is still going strong.
      I believe the "guy" was my mate which is a die hard nitro lover who has a few nitro race boats. And loves nitro methane
      Now I'm certain this is the case. He told me never to ebis a engine with a random.
      I think I know those secret nitro gods.😊

    How long does the engine last, when you resize the sleeve......?

    • @AdamDrake
      @AdamDrake  4 роки тому +3

      If everything is in good shape, just low on compression it will usually extend the life of the engine by 2-3 gallons. In some cases even more.

Anyway just my 2 sence! Great video again mr nitro ambassador! Another ??? How often should you look to replace your conecting rod? Pease out!💨⛽🇺🇸😎

    • @AdamDrake

      Very nice! With OS and Nova based engines in off-road you should be able to get 10-12 gallons before needing to replace the rod.

    Gotta love when ppl send their motors out to get modded and that happens? Just buy an OS B21 AD2 and you would never have to do any of that crap. Also, can you clarify something Adam. When it comes to racing, would you want to run a aluminum or plastic Venturi? What is the difference? I would say heat is the main, and you would never want a plastic Venturi when your racing?

    • @AdamDrake
      @AdamDrake  4 роки тому +4

      I agree, no need to modify today's production engines. When I ran for Nova I use plastic venturi and at the end of my time with Nova we switched to aluminum, but didn't notice much of a difference. With OS, I've always used aluminum venturi. I would think the aluminum venturi would be a bit more consistent throughout long runs.

      CBR Wix I’m not sure if it’s the same for these engines. But on high performance engines, the whole intake from filter to intake manifold base should be fairly cool. So I would assume the plastic Venturi wouldn’t melt

    • @cbrwix
      @cbrwix 4 роки тому +1

      @@THEDnARACER not saying it would melt at all, as it wouldn't. I am just stating for racing or even bashing having an aluminum venturi would 100% provide more consistency just as Adam has stated. I know ppl who do use them for bashing just not for racing.

    • @THEDnARACER
      @THEDnARACER 4 роки тому

      CBR Wix that would still mean that it would be getting heated throughout the race. If the carb stays cool, there should be no deforming/loss of performance. Like I said I’m not sure though. I’ve never personally looked at that on one of my nitros
