Hey bro, I appreciate the video. However there’s a couple things that you said that are wrong. First and most important NEVER start the engine in any nitro model with the radio system off. Always turn the transmitter on first then the car. If you don’t turn them on and for some strange reason the engine goes to wide open throttle you have ZERO chance of controlling the car because the radio system isn’t on. That could lead to property damage as well as injuries to yourself or someone else. So always turn the radio system on. Transmitter first. Secondly never shut the engine off by plugging the exhaust. You could burn yourself because that muffler is very hot and most Importantly you’re flooding the engine with fuel which at the very least will make the engine hard to start but you could also cause damage to the engine by hydro locking it and causing internal damage. And finally I’m not certain what Kyoshos’s specific break in procedure is but I’m pretty sure it’s not just letting it idle for three tanks of fuel. I’ve had and still have several nitro fuel models and the break in procedure has always been a gradual increase in throttle as you go through tanks of fuel. The first tank is idle only. The second is quarter throttle and you proceed a quarter throttle with each tank until you worked your way up to full throttle but still not holding it wide open. But to be certain always follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for engine break in. Again I appreciate the video but please do more research before making instructional videos, as many people are watching these videos to learn how to properly break in their engines and run the model. I’d hate to see some kid destroy his brand new model because he followed the wrong instructions.
ur idle is fine btw! first turn radio and car on before starting the engine and when you are about to leave either use all the fuel and let the engine turn off on its own or squeeze the fuel line cause leaving fuel in the engine for long periods it will absorb moisture and rust it, oh and if you leave the car for longer than a month use some drops of after run oil on the piston and in the carburator to protect it. this buggy is amazing if you tune both HS and LS needles! have fun!
"The speed srew" restrics the fuel intake into engine, turn in 1/8 Increments and do speed run. Should notice each time it gets better and better stop when engine at peak performance, can back it out a tad to be on the safe side.
Lol i was watching this and i was like man that place looks familiar. Then i realized that in the middle of that skate area you are at is where my friends and i setup a BBQ pit and had a BBQ in the middle of the skate park lmao. Nice video though thinking of picking one of these up.
Always turn the transmitter on first, make minor throttle idle adjustments with the trim setting on the transmitter, not the carb. The top screw is the fuel mixture adjustment screw and does not directly set your top speed. Lastly, your engine uses Nitro Methane for fuel. Not Gasoline. Thank you for posting!
So to run it rich you have to turn the flatehead to the left and let it sit for 3 full tanks then its good to go? Cause others vehicles have you drive it at a certain idle then slightly increase from there. I wanna get one of these soon and I wanna do it right
I have heard of people using rhino liner spray on the inside of the body or drywall tape and take shoe goo to stick it down Kevin Talbott does this in hiss videos
Thanks for the video! thinking about this for my first nitro as well. You have to buy a glow plug along with the car? im getting the nitro started kit that comes with the glow plug ignitor but that is different than the glow plug right?
Electric rc plug in and go 70mph. Nitro rc constantly screw with it and it only runs right a few pulls out of several tanks Which is more fun? Nitro, hands down
Electric: charge batteries and go Nitro: also charge batteries, have fuel, have spare glow plugs, have tools to adjust carb and change glow plugs, have starter system for motor, IF it cranks, baby it until it warms up (about half a tank), constantly adjust carb especially if ambient temperature changes or a cloud passes overhead, adjust slipper clutch that has a lock nut but still loosens itself somehow, drive car around until it's really far away and cuts off
does not seem rich no blue smoke did u take out the air restrictor in the carb. cause i have the red one aswell and mine is rapid but blows loads a smoke
Lol 😝 he said GLOW PLUGBso fast that it sounded like BUTT PLUG to me. Like what does that have to do with RCing!? Damn, Where is my head (giggity……sorry) this morning?
I GOT this kyosho 3.0, when its time to change batteries u understand It from the response of the car, when u push the accelerator for example It response a bit later. This sign mean that its time to charge batteries of the car. (About the radio its Better change them every 3h max 4h, Just to be sure, It obyusly depend from batteries too)
Lol funny my 1/12 scale runs 2S and is faster but electric is power on demand. I do love the sound of the fuel but I bet it's way cheaper to have electric as daily hobby fun opposed to nitro. My car maxes 80km/h for the moment.
