Still missing you man! I'm about to go into nitro more, I've raced a few times, but never taken it too seriously due to my love of driving ebuggy and now etruggy. RIP bro!
I really like your engine tear downs. I have a reds r5r which I got a few years ago from JQ. I haven't run it yet because my RB sls5v2 is still going strong. Might just run it in now and see how she goes.
Has anyone recorded the base settings for the carb? For the lsn and hsn? Just want the settings it came out from the box. Will tune how it is needed after that. Thanks.
I have been having trouble with my Reds R5R, it wont idle right and it wines really high. So I dont know if it tuning or i got unlucky and got a faulty engine. Do you have any ideas on how to fix it?
sounds like idle needle is set too high. or too lean mixture. start with rich settings and lean out a bit after break in. there is a good video around youtube, check out "Nitrorcx Guide: Fine Tuning your Nitro RC Car?
@@TheRwmods I believe reds machinery and fabrication is lacking behind on certain components, they might be using less sophisticated techniques with certain components, then outsourcing more sophisticated components from other vendors. On the other hand alpha is way more comfortable and happy. Their engines feel they made the way they are supposed to be without compromise. For example reds carb could've be on of those reds components that they did themselves. They are machined nicley yes!, but with limited resources it feels like. Likewise their ancient sleeve design.
@@TheRwmods oh yes sir, when they acquire more of Nova, they will continue to impress and start becoming more vertically integrated. Rather that outsourcing.
