oh my god I remember watching him when he was like 13 he's a grown ass man now damn
Man, I just got my nitro rc as a gift and when it wouldn't start, I panicked, and I don't think I did the break in process too well lol, but I sent it in for a check up, you made me feel much better🙏. All your videos that I have helped me so much, I am very devastated to see such an awesome youtuber and person like you gone, for as long as youtube exists, your videos will be such a help to all newcomers and professionals as well! God bless you man 🙏, and yes, as you said, life....goes on.
Made a big mistake like riding a bike I knew a little from growing up with my dad and playing with his so I purchased one and didn't do enough research well four hundred dollars later I screwed up broke the pull cord and burned the clutch bearing...didn't tune it so had to have factory send replacement parts now me n my dad gotta try and fix it
Thx ill use these tips/things to avoid with my stampede. Also i got my car used and never broken in but it was barely used.. is it too late to break it in
Yes it's too late
If i run my rc truggy on 25% nitro and changing my fuel to 20% nitro do i have to tune it again?... what needle should i probably look at to?... do i have to lean it or richen it?... from 25% to 20% nitro...
Yes you will need to retune it. It's impossible to say what you need to do in relation to tuning, you need to tune it according to how it's running.
Love my nanda .used Mine today funny enough 😎
Yes I like the Nanda! Need to get it out again :) Shame its a discontinued model now though
TheRCBiker I didn’t know it was discontinued? I hope Schumacher still supply parts
Whew man the damn birds. I couldn’t take it dude
Sorry :) Have to say.. I'm surprised you're the first person to mention it!
TheRCBiker I watched it and gave ya a like. But man idk they were just screeching through my phone
@@Hittin2thabass Yeah they are annoying, apart from getting a shotgun there's not much I can do about them though! haha
I love this guy I ordered a nitro a couple weeks ago and I've been watching a lot of videos on nitros and this guy is my favorite go to person about nitros I know you see this rcbiker thanks so much man your such a good youtuber and deserve more credit then some of these other guys on this site keep it up.
You're welcome :) Have fun
Amy Clark when i got my nitro i literally forgot every video i watched anxiety man
I could have used this a few years ago, would have saved a lot of stress and cash!
yeah, hindsight is a wonderful thing aye!
How many mins with full tank? Is it gasoline?
Same here. I messed up my tune and had to drive over 2 hours to get it retuned
@@americawalk1154 they use nitro fuel (I would use 20% nitro which can be found at a local hobby shop or online) and it really depends on the size of the fuel tank and what you are doing
@@TheRCBiker Buddy I’ve been watching your videos for years . Wow you have really grown now ! I would like to email you if that’s possible? I love nitro , however since my motorcycle Accident and my brain injury I’m having lots of issues .. if you can help I’d be so forever thankful..
Great job there champion keep these videos coming I’m just getting into the hobby much appreciated
Thanks Chris, more coming :)
TheRCBiker all good waiting to learn more
To anyone getting in to the nitro hobby i would recommend getting a failsafe just to be safe incase of a runaway 🤟😊
Yes although now radios are typically 2.4ghz they're less useful. Failsafe only work when they have power, so if you lose range/have interference (highly unlikely with a 2.4ghz). Any runaway I've had has been because of a total loss of power
@@TheRCBiker my failsafe locks the brakes when my transmitter or the nitro cars batteries are low
@@davidsimister4603 how do you get a failsafe
If mine loses touch with the transmitter the servo locks the breaks
@Curtis Crick what heppens if u dont have a failsafe and extra question will it explode if it rolls over hard
When I built my first nitro back in the 90’s and ran it for the first time I was totally hooked. Electrics became toy grade to me, no matter what kind of speeds they have been able to achieve nowadays. I completely agree that if you are a person who lacks patience and or is unwilling to spend time tuning and tweaking your RC car, then stick with electrics.
Well put! :)
I need help with my hsp nitro 1/10 scale
I've just purchased a hasp backwash 2nd hand brand new never used, excited to see if I can make it run! @@ryangreene7259
Ordered my first nitro in 2020 after owning 3-4 brushless RCs and I will never forget the feeling of the first start. The hobby finally felt how I always imagined it would feel as a kid. Sadly I dont have many places to run nitro and my basher group is fully electric.
The most important tip was the last one. :D
Agreed!
You can’t beat having a nitro engine as opposed to a boring plug & play electric, great you have got back into it & hopefully breath new interest into this hobby side again! 👍🏻
I agree :D
Nothing boring about 20HP electric motors in RC cars
Part about our panic is more than 200% truth… My dad often says: ,,Death cause of panic is the worst thing” and sometimes continues with: ,,Nobody wants to have words like Here lies our dearest Mr. XY, he dies cause of panic.”
the birds are so annoying ughhh😤😬🤣
I would definitely need you help and advice. I just ordered my first one. Kyosho Inferno NEO 3.0 Type-3 ReadySet 1/8 Off Road Buggy
hi friend i want to ask i have rc car motor vertex 21 engine
I'm looking for an rc nitro head and I have this problem, I can't find it anywhere, could you give me some advice?
only head from vertex 21 purple
Thank you for your help
do i have to run the car like once a week so the engine will be okay?
No
I’ve found with my Ftx force .18 that the engine doesn’t need much priming and if the engine does flood (same with any nitro) just loosen off the glow plug and pull the pull start a few times the engine should feel loose on the start and tighten the glow plug before you start the engine again
honestly would of snapped the pull starter if i didn't watch this video! Thank you! this helped out a lot.
Glad it helped! Make sure you subscribe for more ;)
I’m thinking of buying a cheap RC buggy. I live in Australia so it needs to be able to withstand some dust and rocks. My budget is $300 AU preferably $200. Could you please suggest a buggy? I was thinking maybe the VRX RH1006?
I bought a car for 100 dollars and I drive it for 30 min go in send and in road the wheel use to make wired sounds I took it back they fix it for 30 dollars
Great videos buddy and I’ve been watching for about 7 years , I did sell them all , petrol , nitro etc , but missed the nitro sound and smell s , so I purchased a hyper 7 off eBay , always loved the hyper tbh 👍🏼 well now I’m back up to 8 rc s and the wife is not to keen but it’s a great hobby , keep the vids coming
Haha, awesome! Yeah it's a great hobby & It's good to be back into it! :)
Idk if your still on UA-cam but I’ve just found a hyper 7 after over 10 years sitting but it’s seized etc wondered if you can offer some help
Just got nitro buggy what glow plug would be best it's 1/10 or 1/18 scale or so like change air filter and put fuel filter on it this the car type Stadium Truck ST RC 2WD Rush PROtech Truggy 1:10 SCALE xxNT Rc10GT.
The most important tip was the last one. :D
He has birds going nuts in the background. I have birds going nuts outside my open window. It's pretty fucked up. Right then.
hey TheRcBiker i have a problem with my nitro it keeps blowing glow plugs any fixes?
Probably the tuning
Send me a video of how it is running via my Facebook page (facebook.com/thercbiker) and I can advise :)
Probably to LEAN he was saying or tri the next hotter plug we by dirt bikes in Pennsylvania we got to run hotter plugs or fawl out the plugs all day long lol hope you fix it god bless be safe
Hi @TheRCBiker, My starter cord knot always pass through the hole. How can I fix that please ?
I wish I could get the timing of the engine down where it stays put when I put the accelerator forward etc etc I haven't run it for 4 years heated it up started first time but the timing is completely out I'm a novice if I can sort that out I'll be completely happy
He lost me. He says dont adjust the carb, later he says to TUNE the engine. Dont adjust but tune.
It's called hydrolic when chamber floods best to losen plug off a bit too release liquid and decrease compression I all ways start mine frome cold this way with a drive box you don't feel the hydrolic in chamber a areo plane guy showed me all ways start with a lose plug if you use a drive box of any sort
Hi im just wondering how do you now what the deafult setting is? Is it smalls number you can write down or is it a spesific location the screw thing is on.
I need some seriouus help with my rc 10 gt stadium truck can you help me I bought a.21 nitro motor is it possible to install in my old rc 10
hey so I got my nitro and it wouldnt start with 25% but as soon as I put 20% it started right up and when it got empty I put the 25% again and it wouldnt start again so does that mean it doesnt take 25% at all or do i need to do something different for it to run on 25%
The most important tip was the last one. :D
Agreed!
My nitro car has no shell or remote and I don’t know how to identify it. It was a fix up gift and it needs to be cleaned badly and I need help.
One time I was messing with my revo 3.3 and I made it do flips for days and then I burnt out the plug
I accidentally left my egnighter in would it cause something i only drove like 2 min with it
I got an sh18 nitro and it looks like unburnt fuel comes out the exhaust. Is it running rich?
I’m 11 I’m installing a ke21r in my kyosho 111p9 tki3 any tips and is it as simple as it seems?
Thought I was watching County file that black bird😂
Hi mate is there any other way to contact u directly for an easier response on my cars I have that my wife and I are learning on ?
The main issue with vintage nitros is that they use crystal radios and they are dogshit
I left my batteries on my car on over night what might be the problem looking to fix it!
Holy curds fella, I could hardly hear a word you were saying because of that bird!
i like really like this video but i just hoped i watched it earlier. bigg upp bro
When I got my first nitro I had start problems checked everything in the manual and on your channel turned out my flywheel was grinding against my gearbox. That took a while to figure out🤣
yes, doesn't seem like the most obvious one to check! Glad it's sorted
These are fantastic Videos as I have very little knowledge so far. I am looking at getting started in RC Nitros for the first time and quite fancy the 1/8 scale HPI Nitro Trophy buggy. Would this be a good one to purchase or is the maintenance and skill level a bit too high for a beginner?
That'd be a great choice :)
My car is running to rich how do I stop so much oil coming out and covering everything
Tell you what man your dominating in the search results 😊
why is the most replayed section of the video the darkness at the end
So what do you if you have a engine that has not been used for 6 years but it not working right
Great video for beginners 👍🏻! Keep it up
Thanks Bartosz :)
when I buy a new nitro car Should the first thing i do with it is a break in?
Hey pal I’ve tried everything my nitro car won’t start
Great video sir . take care
Thanks, you too!
i have a question, i dont think my exhaust is sealed and i cant take the exhaust off because the screws have threadlock on, any ideas?
Hi Ryze, are you referring to the gasket that should sit between the engine block and manifold? The threadlock should only be blue threadlock so you should be able to remove the screws. Have you used red threadlock?
Heat the bolts with a powerful soldering iron before you try take them you will never get a rounded bolt or skrew again with threadlock
TheRCBiker sorry theres no thread lock on the exhaust its held on with like springs, i mean the engine is held on with threadlock and i cant remove that, so i need ideas on how to fix it without taking the engine off
@@ryze7810 Have you fixed the problem yet
@@alb9022 yes, i bought a new gasket
C'est exactement pareil avec des appareils tel de débroussailleuse, tronçonneuse, tondeuse , il ne faut pas tirer sur le lanceur a fond sinon ça le ruine
Does anyone have hsp camper default needle settings
I am gonna buy a second hand nitro and im new what do i need to look out gor
I'm new to nitro/ so what fuel do I start with thank you vary much cheers mate 👍👌
Depends on the engine
@@TheRCBiker the forced 18 with the vrx rh 1006 spirit
@@TheRCBiker been really watching your beginner videos
Have you turned a electric into a gas
Hey man I saw to shoot you a message if you’ve got a problem. My f4.6 v2 will idle but runs bad, if I adjust the tune it’ll run but but out with wide open throttle and won’t idle. I really have no clue what I’m doing wrong with it
Return all the tuning needles back to factory default, replace the glow plug, and then start from scratch!
G'day mate. Can I extend my receiver Ariel by adding a bit more wire? Truth b known i cut it and now it's short. U reckon I'll get my range back by adding sum on. Dam
Yes I don't see why not
For the cost of a 2.4ghz flysky radio you can get from eBay though I'd just replace it ;)
That bird has alot to say get him off the mic lol
Hi what is best first car for beginners plz name and model will help and why is good for beginners.
Thank you
Hi Aamir, it depends on your budget but to be honest any RTR is good for a beginner, anything like the FTX Torro, Hyper 7, Kyosho Neo 3 buggy would all be good choices
Hey I have HPI rush evo. Is working great but I want to know why the engine cutting off after press the break even I change the glow plug.
You need to close your idle speed screw slightly. At the moment the carb is closing too much on breaking thus cutting the engine out.
Great content ✊ is that a Magpie singing?
How do i message you? I need some help
Mistake number one buy a rc nitro car
It’s going to be my first nitro rc car
Another informative video! You are right when my first time I panicked but things going good all the way, just need some patience. 😁
Hey! Glad the videos help :)
Great vid bro thx
you're welcome!
U have link to that buggy ?
As a novice to nitrous I discovered that id spend 15 minutes of complete madness and then 45minutes repairing and improving my car. Best way to learn.
I still trying to get my t maxx up and running,it’s been problems after problems,still can’t get idle right,thing reves like crazy, I bought it used many years ago ,never ran it ,ordered new 2.5 racing engine,still having issues ,
thanks for the video
Thx for tips. Just bought my 1 nitro Kyosho alpha2, not new. and i think i will need to watch some videos. Subscribed. Btw nice birds sounds you have there😂
I did a Sub. I'm waiting for my HSP Backwash buggy and I'm learning a lot from your engine tune videos. As a kid I had many Cox 049 motors in planes and an airboat and a RC F1 car. But later on a 2nd hand Duratrax Evader locked up on me. No manual came with it....so I'm sure it was too lean. Now I'm catching up on tips so I don't lock up the HSP
Hi mate, I have the hyper ss truggy, am now melting the silicon tube! I have adjusted the high speed needle, and the low speed needle only- running good it got the hyper30 turbo motor- I’m wondering if it’s the fuel- I have put a ltr through it and all good, then I purchased a 4ltr bottle and now seem to be having issues - same brand of fuel & 20%
Cheers
My nitro car is a hsp
I'm very new to the hobby, I'm no stranger to working engines but my problem is I have a ofna that was given to my boy it came with a starter box. My question is can I put a pull start on it? I can't get the box to turn it over
Looking for some help, I'm looking for someone to rebuild my hpi bullet nitro.
Hi my Son bought his hyper habao recently hving a problem starting it ...he put enough fuel n on the piston...not sure why it's not starting....the both of us excited to get it started....how can u help or tell us what's wrong...will appreciate the feedback ..God bless u🙏🙏🙏
Fuel in the carb, idle gap 1.5mm open, and a glow plug that is glowing bright red. If all those things are correct it will start
@@TheRCBiker Good morning will check in awhile appreciate your feedback..blessings to u🙏🙏🙏❤️
Hope you can help me !
Got an older buggy that needs a new coil and suitable fuel can you recommend any combos to me ? The engine is stamped 21c and the only marking on the Coil is 99 or 66 ? Regards
I have oil all over my spark plugs. Ive changed them a crazy amount of times and oil keeps coming out of the plug port. The engine hasn’t even been broken in yet
I am just getting into this, I am very mechanical but have no knowledge of these gas powered RC cars, any advice would be appreciated
Thanks just got my first one its pre-owned and you're vid helped lots!
No problem 👍
Just got my first nitro buggy and ran 3 tanks of fuel at idle. Then ran it a few tanks with the restrictor plug in big rubber bulb whatever that’s called lol. Then removed that restrictor and ran it normal. Is that a good enough break in?
Yes I’ve bought 200 $ worth of glow plugs and come to find out it’s the igniter and I’m hours away from a hobby shop
I just got the hsp 94106. Can I break it in with a 25% nitro fuel? Thank you. 😊🙏
Is there a way I can message you ☹️ I’m not I social media and I’m new to nitro got about 6 blisters from the constant agg to start my ftx torro I’m just having issues with the tuning I’ve watched every single video of yours about it but I’m just struggling man I thought this was a really friendly community but I guess where I live it’s not like that for me so I’m always guessing
Return your tuning needles to factory defaults
Check Glow plug is glowing a bright orange :)
@@TheRCBiker I have done the above but the manual sais 2/14 turns and videos online say 3/14 turns for the low speed needle but they have the same car and there’s runs nice I’ve tried all methods and just getting abit sad with it now
My biggest issue is not knowing if when I did my run in was I too easy on it or too tough haha .. I thought I was too tough then watching a million videos I seem to be getting the right results I just don't know if I'm flogging the thing haha
The nrb5 manual is actually really good, even to a point of a sense of humour. It's a fantastic first buggy, fully recommend it. As always great video!
Is it ? I've never read it ! Some manuals are much better than others :)
What if you have messed with the carb screw? And flooded the engine and ruined the filter which I had just oiled.
I feel nature.
Can you show us how to turn off after when we use Nitro RC car?
Block the exhaust or pinch the fuel line
Hey I have a Hyper7 TQ sport and I got it two years ago I drove a couple times but I haven’t this year and I forgot how to tune it
Best watch my videos then!
@@TheRCBiker ok
I broke my pull starter once and didnt retract so i took it apart and kept the bearing and i got a longer string and attached to it and made it easier to turn on and felt torquier for some reason
