First Start of my Rovan 30CC 1/5 gas Buggy (its first BRAP!!!) (part 3) 

hey man!! I know you want to see Tamiya make a 1/5 scale, lol, right?? Maybe years from now they will get the point that there is a huge market for these. Im about to check out your new vids too.

lol, ye man!! I tend to ramble alot, when it comes to RC. I really respect these things, don't want to mess it up, you know!!!

hey man, forgot to comment back to you, a while ago. Have you checked out the recent vids I made on this, they are great, some god FPV top speed footage, some destruction and just other necessary stuff.

hey my dude! Im happy you were able to get one, you're going to love It bro! Let me know on here if you need an help or have any questions!!

@@hybrid32494 OKAY thanks

I'm glad you enjoyed that Toyota logo part!!! Honestly this buggy has been great so far, it might as well have been made by TOYOTA.

hey dude, thanks so much! Really appreciate your support.

Thanks for watching!

this was my first gas RC, I sold it to my friend Jeremy in newer videos. With all the stunts I did with it, it never broke a single time.

hello, YEP. I did notice that. I've checked the torque on the bolts and they seem fine. I have left it as is and not worried much about it. It has not gotten any worse and literally just a bit annoying.

hey buddy!! Yes, at times there are eBay coupons that can be used in any category or only a certain category. I have seen 20%, 15% and 10%. You literally have to check the home page everyday, you never know when and if a coupon will be available. They are basically just a promo code that you will apply in the cart at checkout that will e applied as a gift card towards any qualifying purchase. This past week there was a 10% eBay bucks coupon, not the best, but it's something.

@@hybrid32494 thanks for the tips

Use some nitro to cool down

whats up bro!! You need one of these!!. This was my first 1/5 gas RC and it's never let me down. All the negatives people say about ROVAN is 100% false. They just have unrealistic expectations and like spending money on upgrades which they don't need, LOL.

@@hybrid32494 hey man. I totally agree. There's no way I'd pay full price for a baja when these beauts are about haha. It's gonna be a while before i get one of these. Hey, i done some pull ups with my evo rush around my neck. Pretty sweet lol

hey man!! thank you for watching!! The basic rule is you charge before every day's run. I at most ran about 2 tanks at once and never noticed any drop in voltage from the RX pack, I highly doubt you will have any issues here. Eitherway there is a built in failsafe in case the system looses signal or has interference somehow (never happened to me). You can always get a higher rated MAHH pack if you want too, but I wouldn't unless you plan to run for more than 3 hours at a time.

Alright thx!

let me know if you run into any battery issues, im honestly curious myself as to how long one of them lasts in these things. if you have one that is. thanks..

@@hybrid32494 ya I will, I do have one I boughtr 3 days ago and Im impressed, I know how I could test it out in a safe way so yeah.

We used these..they were a must have for safety www.killerrc.com/products/super-bee-kill-switch-car-kit

hey tamiya bison guy!!! lol. I finally got around tho starting this, and it wet well. I gotta say the gas motors are easier than nitro to deal with. They just idle so much better and less worrying about over heating. Ofcourse lugging around over 30LB is not easy, I though the 13 LB terra crusher was alot, lol. What I really like about this brand is also the parts and option parts are cheap, unlike HPI. Everything for the BAJA was insane when they came out, even today. I think two wheels were like 80 bucks, NUTS.

hey buddy! The general rule is to break any gas RC in with a 25:1 mix. Over time and after break in you can safely go to 35:1. Some people even run 50:1 these days and their motors are fine and perform well. Ofcourse this is with the use of the best synthetic 2-stroke oils. I run 32:1 now.

hey man!! I agree, the damn color is too close to regular gasoline color. I mean it's fine, overall, the oil itself is very good and relatively cheap to buy. You can still see it in the fuel line, thats all that matters to me, mostly.

hey dude! I never installed a kill switch on this model and it never had a single glitch or run-away. On all my newer gas RCs I always install them at this point. I once has a runaway with a Redcat Rally, that taught me a good lesson, you cannot trust Redcat servos, lol.

MOBAY 876 RC same

thanks!! sorry I didn't see you comment earlier, Good luck!! let me know of anything that comes up, I love helping all my viewers!!!

Hey buddy, you gotta charge the Car's Receiver battery before each run (this is highly recommended). The radio uses basic AA batteries just like all other RCs.

@@hybrid32494 how long its can play after recharge that batery...

thanks!! ye it's got a cool exhaust note from that huge pipe, I'd say better than the stock Baja exhaust.

Hey my dude! Nothing like a nice 1.5 Baja, right? I had this one for a while, recently sold it, in my own testing I got some nice top speeds of 44 MPH and even towed a full size Xmass tree, didn't break anything.

@@hybrid32494 Yes bro the 30.5 screams and it's much better that the hpi. I want to thank you for your video it really put me at ease about buying one.

STEVO D 313 ye man botajell should have a reality rc tv show. Id watch it. Hes a very knowledgeable and entertaining guy.

@@hybrid32494 ya he wants to join us on my friday night hangouts

hey bro! Yup, Botajell is the man!! I learned most of my gas Rc stuff from him and also Gary at Foundry RC. I actually know Botajell in real life too btw, he is exactly the same personality in real life as he is on youtube. That's quite rare, he is a terrific dude, and we own him alot. One day him and I will hang out. Nitrogang!!

hey man!! I've seen people run a 2S on other 1/5 scales, not sure If I've seen it on these. But really the stock battery is a 6V NIMH, I think a 2S would be fine. This is sometime I am not 100% on, but I really doubt that a 2S would cause an issue, I would try hooking it up to a discharged 2S to check first. It's just a basic radio system really, I doubt it would fry anything.

@@hybrid32494 hiya thanks very much yes I ask other guys and it's not a good idea just incase I burned out the servos :$ but I had a perfect working laptop battery and I got 6x3.7v Sony batteries out it lol and iv made 3x 2s packs out of them lol Plus iv got a verable voltage regular I can set to 6v or 7.2v that should be fine my friend hopefully :-)

YEs, they are exaggerating, it'll be fine. The basic Team Losi MT XL runs a stock 2S lipo for the radio system too. The receiver is voltage regulated anyway and send the power to the servos. They do sell the larger capacity hump receiver pack for these, I think 4000mah, thats something to consider if they are cheap enough. My 2000mah stock pack runs fine and I always have the light turned on to.

@@hybrid32494 thanks iv been doing my homework on it plus iv made 3 2s packs from sony 2900mAh batterys from and old laptop lol plus iv made a lead up to plug in with my volt regulator set to 6v bro im sorted and can use 2s 3s & 4s what ever i plug in will be running throw the regulator plus fast charging with my skyRC imax charger lol

happy for you bro. I never had a single issue with this one. BTw I've got many other very helpful vids on this thing, make sure to check them out. About the proper break in and pre-start checks, and all that. Also top speed runs with RPM figures.

@@hybrid32494 I have a five t and a losi mtxl which are both for sale, mainly because I just want something to just race around that doesn't cost $1500

@@hybrid32494 also do you know if the reciver and servos will take a 2s lipo instead of the nimh

@@huntire6861 Dont quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure all modern 2.4 ghx receivers and even digital servos like the ones in the rovan will easily run on 2S power. I'm not sure if they are advertised as High Voltage servos, but dude, I've run lipos many times. Although I will tell you the stock RX pack is quite good, you should get like 3 hours from a charge (on the safe side).

Hey man!! They recommend you do 4, but I did about 8 in total (some off camera). It's easy to do on these compared to nitro cars, they idle indefinitely. Just do 10-12 min and shut it off. I also did about 4 low throttle 10 min runs too. I am very old school with motor break in, as you can tell. Thats why my vintage nitro motors always run well, and I've never had to rebuild any!!!

@@hybrid32494 thanks very much i was planing on doing more than 4 myself plus half a cap of 2 stroke down the barrel and give it about 30-40 very slow full pulls to lub that barrel up lol iv been in to motocross all my life bro just treat it like a full engine rebuild and hopefully get a good start in life haha with a easy break in my friend and doubling the heat cycles should give it a longer life and better running

neon king thanks buddy!!! I try to appreciate all rc for what they offer for the money and history. Most important for me is that they do what they are meant to do, well.

hey my friend!! Thanks for checking out this video, unfortunately my dog Teddy from this video passed away about a year ago. He was a SHIH-POO mix.

these are different, I agree. I have not had any really problems yet, but the break in a and general maintenance can be tough compared to an electric! Thanks for watching btw!!!

Depends on gearing, and motor size. But with a little money they're fast lol

ye dude BOTAJELL!! taught me alot on here. It was cold there today is MA? im in NYC it was about 45-50 today, so I had to force myself to get this going. I like to do some brushless and some nitro/gas to get it mixed you know, doing only one makes you get used to it and bored I think. Botajell got the E-WORD, lol, you saw that one?

@@hybrid32494 well by the time I got out running it was in the 30s and really windy lol. Yeah botajell has taught me alot too! ZAAAAHHHHH!! LOL yeah I saw he finally got one!! Never thought id see the day botajell running a e-word! Haha have you seen that beast black losi xxxl he has!?

we should all encourage him to get a better E-WORD (some brushless rc) and not a slow boring crawler. I'm kinda done with these scale crawler type rc's they are dominating everything today. I rem back in early 2000's they were getting popular too then just dropped off. I had a tamiya TLT-1 and a small other scrawler, hated both. Ye that big truck he got is my aspiration lol, thats why im starting with this cheap one for now.

hey man, ye most people get the protective outerwares for the shocks, air filter and pull start. This one does not have a remot kill switch, it has an on board kill switch. This is the case for every 1/5 scale model, even very pricey brand name ones. You always have to wire up your own remote kill switch (i will soon). I kept the lights on for a while (2 hours) and no issues. Generally you will chanrge the RX battery anyway within that timeframe.

hey!! thanks for watching!! Soon well see what it's like at speeds. I think the silencer will make a good difference with higher RPM, just curious in the effects really.

I just checked, the Amewei pitbull X is basically a Redcat Rampage design with a terrible center diff system. This Rovan is a highly optioned HPI baja Clone, and a very good clone at that. mine has not broken in any way since and is fully stock. I got 42 MPH on this. The rovan design is superior to the Redcat design.

@@hybrid32494 Thx 4 the Fast answer :D I only have to Sell my FPV Kwad drone stuff so i will go back to an 1:5 RC Car with Petrol or a 1:8 or 1:10 Scale Crawler

hope you make the purchase soon, trust me the HPI clones are much better than the Redcat design. Even the worst rovan or king motors will blow you away. Only slight bad thing is these are always 2WD, personally i'm happy with it.

@@hybrid32494 so no chance upgrade to 4WD? My Amewi had also only 2WD and it was climping all hills up but i felt in love with the Primal Monster Truck but 2899 is way tooo much for me ^^ and i think it dont fit in my 2019 Toyota Corolla Hybrid :D

bro, you got the new corolla hybrid!! very cool. You know I drive a prius and love hybrids, haha. I get around 50 MPG at all times, more sometimes too. And yes! all the Bajas are always 2WD, although they are fine if you get some good knobby tires like I currently run on mine. Very solid design and easy to use.

when you hit the throttle this thing is way louder than I showed during break in here, definitely going to need the silencer here. oh and btw you have to break in nitro motors too, it almost the same process as this too. About 4 tanks at idle at first ten about 25% throttle after 3-4 tanks. Best thing about this so far is that unlike the nitro motors these can idle for a long time and not shut off, so refreshing after nitro.

hey man!! thanks!!! I finally got to start this, I can't even believe it myself, lol. Was pretty tough the first time before I realized I flooded it. I'll prob do a future follow up on the procedure for flooded engines, it' s easy though.

hybrid32494 yeah I flooded mine the first time I got it lol. My baja was my first fuel rc car the only other rc I had was a traxxas stampede

hey man! The Octane was released and discontinued when HPI cut production about 5-6 years ago. Anyways, there are some for sale on the used market, but I would to recommend it. Compared to the Xl K 5.9 Nitro version it was slower and more expensive, also prone to engine failure.

@@hybrid32494 ya I did a little digging. I remember thinking it was going to be awesome. Well my savage is almost ready for its first start in a long time. Cleaned and dialed the engine (axial .28 2s) i don't know much about it really. Not sure if it is more of a low end torque motor or just a mid range runner. I doubt it is a built to have a crazy high speed. Im going to treat it like an average. 28. Ill jabe to dig up the book on it. But I'm only dragging the thing out because I stumbled onto your channel but. So add another nitro to your saved from disgrace list, ha. Now I just have to remember if I shredded the trans when I did that quick electric conversion 10 years ago. But I'll start with getting her running

hey bro, thanks for watching. I only use the included charger because its convenient to charge the battery for this model only. generally I Have a good quality Hobby grade charger for lipos and other batteries. You on point my dude! hope you watch some of my other vids.

@@hybrid32494 I don't want to be a smart ass on this one. Down here in Amsterdam the Grammer is different than over sea,s and so, my bad is in anyway I offended you. The imax b6 mini charger's the battery in 2 hours rather than 8 hours with the charger that comes with the car. Much love from Europe 😁

don't worry bro, I don't get offended, I'm not a chick, ahhhaa. JK. I appreciate all feedback. I use a imax clone charger btw. Honestly the stock pack only takes like an hour at most for me, because I charge it before every run and it's just convenient. Otherwise ye, I only use a hobby grade charger. Greetings from NYC, lets keep this Coronavirus under control, we got people over here panicking, meanwhile i'm filming nitro RC vids, ahahaha.

It’s the exact same truck

@@andriesbuskens2436 it might look like the same but it certainly isn't built the same

@@peterbennpan7288 it’s all how you see it! Realistically in the case of Rovans and Hpi bajas. It’s as close as any replica will ever get!! Is an understatement, and to most who wouldn’t. It’s the one worth doing, hence you couldn’t go baja anyways

hey buddy! There are superchargers available for these motors, but they are impractical. These 2-stroke motors are much higher RPM and work on back pressure to draw fuel and air into the motor, a supercharger would have very little effect overall. On a 4-stroke engine they would make sense, because they don't rely upon an expansion chamber (pipe) to create a vacuum as much as these do.

@@hybrid32494 That's interesting to know... So is there any way to put a big ole blower on it? or is it really not worth doing anything to for its pricepoint? Just FYI you're talking to a 15 year old so forgive me for sounding uneducated ...

hello, I purchased this silencer separately on eBay. You can find them easy, they are common and cost around 16-20 bucks usually. let me know if you need a link.

@@hybrid32494 Any chance you could give me that link mate ? Im definitely gonna need one.

Jackk here you go dude. This is exactly the same as mine, different seller though. I cant find the rovan seller on ebay right now. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F333301707528

hello, do you have a link to the one you are talking about. There are many versions of these, it's hard to say which one you mean. They are all similar though.

1 cc

hey buddy! Yes, you could. You could run regular 2-stoke oil from any hardware store if you wanted. But it is not recommended by anybody in the hobby. We typically run high performance synthetic racing oil in these motors. I am currently using Klotz Benol 100% castor oil, no issues and it mixes easy.

@@hybrid32494 what W oil ?

@@hybrid32494 and is Mobil 1 good

hey man!! here is the link to this silencer I got, I was quite surprised how effective it was too. www.ebay.com/itm/Rovan-Silencer-Muffler-Quiet-Pipe-Kit-For-1-5-RC-HPI-Baja-5B-5T-5SC-Losi-5ive-T/252699046983?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

It shows out of stock right now. Is it steel or aluminum? After you get it broken in and tuned let us know if it hurts power bad. It shure takes sharp edge off of the sound.

hey my dude! YES!! I will be going back to some GAS videos soon, gonna break out the original HPI baja with a zenoah and a Redcat Rampage Rally XR.

LOL!!! I guess you really wanted to see it start, ahaha. Don't worry I'll be done with the break in cycles soon!!! and thanks for watching!!!

soon my man!! you saw the tiny small throttle blips at the end, soon gonna rip this bad boy. And will drive over my shitty WPL B-1.

hey dude. I got mine from eBay. yOu can search "rovan silencer". Under 20 bucks.

Thanks hybrid

hey man!! Just do a search on ebay for "rovan rtr" or "king motors rtr", you will see a whole bunch of listing for these. I recently checked the prices and they have went up a bit, still a good deal though. You gotta wait for an ebay coupon and use it that day. figure a 10-15% coupon is worth like 40-70 bucks depending on price. I'm actually looking for the MGT now, but probably the 4.6 model.

hey bro!! great comment, I appreciate that!! I've started running the PowerMIX 25:1 ethanol free since I did this video. Have had no issues since...

I have still not found a better solution for cheap, still using that. Now I just pour in the oil and some fuel, Mix it, then do it again. It's better in small amounts, doesn't leak much that way.

Get a raito rite cup.

hey, thanks!!! is that the LOSI MT XL you're holding in your profile pix on here? That might be my next 1/5 scale gas RC, how you like it?

That’s my wife holding it. Yes I love it. Super fun

very cool!!! I am really considering getting that as my next one. Im not a fan of the short course platform really, so the 5T is out. Im into simple RWD buggy layouts or huge wheel monster trucks, LOL. IDK if you ever seen 1/4 scale NEW ERA models? Those were nuts, ofcourse too pricey, company is out of business now.

Get it ASAP brotha

hey man, thanks for watching. I've done many videos on this rovan and other gas RC's. Just search my channel, you will see a playlist and many other videos. I have a video where this Baja pulled a whole Xmass tree around an RC track, you cant miss that.

@@hybrid32494 Hey man...i got the part 4. I got the same car just a few days. Cant wait to run it when lockdown will be over. Your video on the silencer is helpful too. I will be really needing it. Cheers :D

after my little chat with the neighbor I went to a park (more like a school yard). Let me tell you that the tall surroudning brick walls of the school really echoed the sound of this motor, never heard such delayed echoes. Thats a cool dog you got man, I got one of the more friendly city conditions type smaller dogs, ahaha.

hey! thanks for watching!! I didn't put a link because there are many sellers that sell these, just search for "rovan RTR" and you will see the listing for these. I just checked and prices have went up slightly, need to wait for the ebay coupon codes to get the great deals, I'm waiting on them myself now too.

hey man!! thanks for checking this out!! This is a ROVAN, basically an HPI clone with near identical specs and parts, except it was only 400 (after eBay coupon) on eBay. Check eBay for (Rovan RTR) you will see various version of this one. When these HPI Bajas came out I though they were too slow also, you're right 40 is about top speed for these. Unlike a nitro they have a lower RPM range thats why. I saw ROVAN offers pretty cheap speed gearing sets for these that will let you hit over 50 easy. Thats a future upgrade.

stephen john gray 56 is great for a car this big damn. I would buy a Rovan for 400-500 opposed to a 100-1400 dollar HPI BAJA.

stephen john gray hey man. Thanks for watching!! Do you have a speed gearing set? Because it dont matter if its rovan or king motors, they are the same. Unless you got some really fast model, these are at about 40 mph stock max speeds.

GORILLA BEAR TECH Ye dude, these 1/5 scales are not that fast, and its ok. There are other benefits like cost or running, easy to start and idle, reliable, large size etc. the original hpi naka with the 23cc engine barely hit 30 mph id say.

thanks dude!! I really like these 1/5 scale motors compared to nitro, I might have to change it up from my nitro cars to these, they are so much easier to deal with and idel better. Although you dont always want to carry around a 30 LB RC, haha, right...??

@@hybrid32494 Very true....

hahaha, ye. I checked all the visible screws so far, they seem fine. Are there many others that are out of sight that are known to come out?

? Lol tool u be..

hello, theres nothing wrong with yours. We have the same equipment other than the engine size. There should be a stick saying 36CC right next to your part plug on the black piece of plastic (the engine cover). Mine says 30.5 CC. Let me know. The 36CC motor is one of the best, btw. You still got a fantastic deal.

I tell u something, this it's the best car I ever have and doesn't matter still have big time fun , I'm starting up grade on aluminum parts thnx bro keep in touch, by the way nice info on the vid, I may throw one latter, on the road👍👍

good luck breaking your's in, thats where most of the learning happens and critical steps. Good luck!! keep me posted on any issues or questions. I just finished the break in steps with mine.

hey dude! I mean I towed an entire XMASS tree with this same 30cc baja in a video. It seemed very snappy to me, lol. There is a video of that on the channel too for you my dude!!

hey bro!! that was one of the contenders, I may have to get it in the future, this Castor 927 isn't the cheapest there is either.

I.hope.it. Comes.with.a.wheelie.bar.and.a.front.bumper

hey buddy, check this link, I own this baja as well, there are some vids of it on my channel.www.banggood.com/custlink/3mmyyQiH89.

hahah, yup, My ears for sure!! More like my neighbors ears!! had to go finish this at a park later.

lol, exactly. The issue seems to be the terrible rubber gaskets o this fuel mix bottle. I think If I can find better thicker ones it would be great. I literally had to add some more oil to the gas part off video because I could not flip it it well enough to mix effectively.

@@hybrid32494 wow lol you could probably get some rubber o rings for it and it would probably stop leaking

I saw other fuel mix bottles that people recommend, but they don't seem to have that convenient pour spout like this one does. Plus this one is easy to store fuel in, you don't have to run it all in one day. either way, its shitty. Looking for some o-rings as you said bro!!!

@@hybrid32494 yeah you should try to make that bottle stop leaking since it's pretty nice. I need to look for a new nitro fill bottle because I crushed mine with a garage door on accident. Didn't realise it was under the door

Jeff Kinsey hey man, your right!! I have one actually, i use it on my lincoln, hahaha. What temp is normal for these gas motors btw? Is it like nitro temps?

BOTAJELL ye man thd be great!!! Its gonna be a nitro/brapppp/coffee fest lol. Btw i just saw another one of your vids where u had this same exact rovan in bk with the rockaway group. Hows the e-word going? I think ur audience wants u to grt a really fast e-word... lol.

#FORDTOUGH

ahaha, I have two ford cars too. One older Lincoln LS V8 and a last gen mercury grand marquis. I play the JAP and American game equally. Ofocurse only my Toyota logo badge fell of while making this video, ahahaha.

@@hybrid32494 I'm a Ford man but i have had some nice Chevy's 68 C10 ..383ci ..700r4.. 4.10 rear but if I went foreign it would be Toyota for sure

very nice cars you had man!! since I live in NYC and we have extremely high annual inspection requirements it's tough to really have older cars here when they fail inspections. For now my Lincoln LS V8 is passing, so I'll keep it. Pretty much my Prius(ahahah) has paid for itself in the ten years I've owned it in fuel savings alone. I basically just go for cost effectiveness and knowing that a car does what it was meant to do (well), you know. Driving fast in NYC is pointless unfortunately.

yup stock they say it will do 40MPH whcih is about 64 KPH. I saw they sell speed gear sets that can get it to hit maybe 100 KPH for not much money. This is a future thing to consider.

Yes, I fully agree that it need a remote kill switch. I am working on insalling one soon. BTW i make sure to charge batterybefore every day's starting and never do more than 2 tanks at a time. BTW i want to ask your advice on the proper fuel storage after runing these. Is this like the nitro cars where you should not leave fuel in the tank for more than a week? Should I run the engine out of fuel?

Well true, you don't want to leave gas in the tank for long periods of time because it can gum up but even 1 or 2 months should not be a big issue since we have to use higher octane. You can put fuel stabilizer which should help a lot. What I found bigger problem is if that stays in the carb it messes up the seal so I run generators turning off the fuel flow and run the carb dry.

I was mostly worries about the carb, thanks for pointing that out. My question really is should I use the cut off switch at the end or just pinch the fuel line and wait for the engine to starve of fuel and clean the carb out?

I had an old MT2 go runaway at full throttle because the battery holder broke, very scary and my failsafe was useless without power! so I totally agree

I would have to agree kill switch vary important I got one for my rcmax 5t

hello, here. Just keep in mind there are many others this seller sells, they only vary in engine size mostly. www.ebay.com/itm/1-5-Rovan-305A-Gas-Dune-Buggy-Car-RTR-30-5cc-Engine-HPI-Baja-5B-SS-Compatible/332543894770?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

hey buddy, which car are you refering to in this video?

@@hybrid32494 the one you put the toyota batch on;)

Do R/C! You”re right. Since i am mostly just idling it now i dont really need the silencer. Eventually wen i rip it im sure ill use the silencer. I wonder what it would sound like with 2 silencers??

@@hybrid32494 more silenced?:)

ahhaha, good point!!!

whats ups man? thanks for the view, but, compared to what it's got not power? How fast do you think this buggy went in stock form? I hit 44 MPH as you see it. You don't think that's enough power for a 400 dollar Baja clone? Check my vids for proof, you will see. BTW it's also towed an entire mass tree with no problems.

this isn't about the driving, it's about getting one, learning about it, starting it and doing things right. There are plenty of vids here of people ripping these, thats nothing new. I don't destroy my stuff, there no need for that, I respect these things for what thy are. Have a great day!!!

hey man!! thanks for checking this video out. So how come do you think all the manufacturers do recommend the heat cycle/break-in process. I understand people say you don't need to, but do you really think that every 1/5 scale brand and oneil brothers all do a break if for no reason???

@@hybrid32494 well been in the rc hobby for 38 years .every new motor I purchase either be nitro or pump gas fill it and go full out!!!!! Have many of motors that still going strong from the 90s!!! I guess that's just my good luck??!!!

you must be a lucky dude! LOL. I've always followed the manufacturer recommendations. But im surprised that not only you have said that the break in is not important. Many people with alot of 1/5 scale motor experience have said this too. We need to test this out somehow.

@@hybrid32494 test??!! I already have!!!!!

let me ask you this!! Obviously I'm a 1/5 Gas NOOB, and that's ok, i'm learning. Any advice you can give on good oil? I use castor 927, but recently got another 1/5 scale and want to run it only on KLOTZ SUPER TECHNIPLATE, what do you think?

Evolve Rc that was a long post to not even offer up what to correct or advise him on how he’s damaging his engine (not a motor)
