The first start of the Carnage and run in. I did nearly 2 tanks static and the same slow running. This video is for 14 years old and older. These Rc vehicles are dangerous as there are fast moving parts and hot parts that can burn.
You probably have a harder time starting it because your using only 16% nitro I use 20% and most others even use a higher percentage but I find 20% to be good. I try to never let my engine get over 230 degrees, when taking temps I always point the gun down into the head at the glow plug, also for the brakes when off throttle and when your engines running the brakes should be adjusted to be barely on enough when off throttle idling so the car wont be rolling hardy at all, if you leave brakes off the car will be rolling fast all the tame and it will be hard to drive also. You should get it running nicely with a bit of tuning..just take out the glow plug and take a look at it because sometimes the coil can get bent out of shape and stuff from break in and be bad. Have fun!
It has not been too bad starting and in the next part the glow plug fails. I'm trying 16% for now but might go over to 20% if It runs bad. So far running well on it and plenty of power. I will do what you say with the temp gun, to keep the engine safe. I still have to sort out the brakes and the idle screw. But I have little knowledge but will keep at it this time. It has still been better then the last one I had , That was terrible car. I will have more fun if we can get some stable weather been bad for over 3 weeks.
This was the cheapest one I could buy and it's not bad. The reviews were good and the engine is used in a lot of different cars but seems to run well. Just need a nice day to finish the running in, today there is the second part of the run in but it had been 3 weeks of bad weather since I last ran it.
I have 3 nitro. I find all three engines different to start, therefore i think you have to know your car. My Kyosho literally has a good 40 pulls to prime it, were as my old Thunder Tiger only needs about half a dozen. Bizzare
I watch a video where the guy said they can make 100s of the same nitro engine and all will be different. This one has not been to hard to start, your Kyosho sounds a pain.
When i first got the kyosho, it was my first nitro, and it drove me nuts lol I had no knowledge of nitro and it took me ages to sus it out lol I had the hair dryer on it and everything ha
