Excellent progress. The extra fuel line is a great choice. When running at home and you flip over, it's nice not to run out of fuel and just flip it over and carry on.
A trick I learned from a older guy is to take about 1/4 and inch of fuel tubing and put it over the fuel line. It will squeeze down on the fuel line and make it tighter than those fuel line clamps. And way cheaper.
Brent this is brilliant! love love love this video. and yeah there were some serious characters in the SL video lol! bro you taught be about the heat resistant tape (mind blown) and a fresh off the block noob whos spent 6 months doing research before starting my purchase path, this serious is GOLD! Hope that back plate arrives soon, thanks for this series yall started this is exactly what someone like me needed!!!!!!!!!
Back when I flew planes, we used something we called a klunk on the end of the fuel line in the tank. This most times had a small weighted filter built to a heavier brass piece that ensured that the fuel line always remained down in the fuel no matter which way the plane was oriented. RC nitro cars should have these also so if the car was upside down, the engine would still get fuel no matter what. Even an old cripple like me would have time to get to the upside down car before it could possibly run out of fuel. Brett was huffing too much of whatever that was he shot through the fuel tubing. He'll be fine.😮👌😁
Well, that's just unacceptable and must be redone. I hardly ever watch any store/manufacturer's videos as they are to full of propaganda, but I do watch all of your videos, not AMain's. 😎😁
For the fuel line clips just cut some quarter inch bits of full line and slip the over the fuel line ends with some needle nosed pliers to act as hose clamps. Weighs less and are free.
Just now getting into RC. I did it in the 80s but it's World different now. I ordered a Kyosho buggy like this from you but the electric version. Always wanted a Nitro too scared I would never get it running correctly. Maybe my next one will be Nitro
They seem intimidating at first but once you get into it everything is pretty simple. Especially if you like the tuning and tinkering side of the hobby nitro is awesome
1/10 carpet. For the 2wd and 4wd buggies, or whatever else people bring. The jumps are foam that just sit there, so they can be removed with two guys to drive some on-road if wanted. -Brett
No way, they're in stock. We had a ton of pairs: www.amainhobbies.com/proline-invader-premounted-1-8-buggy-tires-white-2-s3-pro9066-233/p867027?v=862225&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0Na855OJ5AIVFMZkCh2tngagEAQYAiABEgITR_D_BwE -Brett
It's great for everything nitro related. The only down side is it's 1/8 size is a little larger than your standard 1/10 vehicles, but it's an amazing vehicle. -Brett
AMain Hobbies thank you for the reply! I’m going to buy one tomorrow for me and my 13 year old. I’ve owned a few nitros in years past and they were indeed 1/10 scale, my son will love the bigger vehicle now that he’s older! Thanks again Brett!
It does heat up but nothing will burn or melt. With the way the exhaust pipe orients the wire, there are few options to change the fuel line routing, so it's pretty common to run the line like this. -Brett
All that hard work to add a "heat shield" to the tank, lets run the main fuel line and have it sit right over the exhaust. You might want to rethink that fuel line.
True. Space is very limited so it was challenging to find an arrangement that worked. We may change it in the future; we'll give it a try and see how it works out. Thanks. -Brett
@@lfodh1 Hey, that's ok Mike. But yes you can clean the air filters with warm water and soap. Then let it completely dry, and apply air filter oil to the clean foam. -Brett
I want you guys to know y’all sold me a MP9 readyset after watching this video series.Just hope I can find I track here in North Ga..........I know I will spend I lot more making it what it needs to be but that ok I need something to do Thanks Amain........
Great Nash! It's such a great platform, I don't think you'll be disappointed. And as long as you have loctite in all the necessary nooks and crannies, she'll battle for you until the end. Let me know if you have any questions or issues come up! -Brett
Great question! Nitro fuel can sit for a few years and be ok for use, but it really depends on how it is stored. Fuel likes to be stored in cool, dark and dry places, with minimal temperature fluctuations. Exposure to air can make it go bad as well. We recommend using quarts of fuel, not gallons, because you use them faster and open/close them fewer times. If the fuel looks discolored, don't use it. And try not to store them on a concrete slab, like the garage floor; concrete stores moisture which can effect he floor. -Brett
It shouldn't. The fuel wants to absorb moisture so ensure the cap is tight and it's stored in a dry place. If the fuel starts to be really watery, or gummy, it's bad. -Brett
Kinda smells like horse powaaaa, wanted you to say that so much( flash from the past( think you where reviewing the protec samurai engine)) ill settle for traction though, it is more fitting i suppose. Awesome series 👍👍
But the exhaust tube dosent carry fuel it just pushes fuel so what's the point of making that tube longer it would only benefit from makeing the intake fuel line longer
We changed the exhaust tubing at the same time so all the fuel tubing would match. And it also gives us piece of mind the tubing is fresh and new. -Brett
Found these Jeremy! They look like the same product, and they are slightly cheaper: www.amainhobbies.com/dubro-medium-fuel-line-clips-4-dub677/p29348 I'll update the link in the description. Thanks for the heads up. -Brett
Typically you use calipers to measure the distance from the spring twister nut to the top shock cap and ensure distance is the same. From there, you can mark a line in the twister nut (with a little paint, or a dremel) so you know when you've turned it a full revolution around, and do the same amount of twists on each side. Having a line in the nut really helps out if you're track side and want to make little adjustments quickly. -Brett
Well... ideally no, but it happens a lot with these 1/8 buggies and truggies. The use of an aluminum chassis helps counter the abuse. Most U.S.A. 1/8 tracks are "motocross" style, with very large jumps, so chassis slaps are common. -Brett
I don't think so. Traxxas made a 2008 Revo Platinum but I don't think there has been a new version since. I looked it up but found nothing modern. -Brett
Yo! 🧐 where is a UBEC between your lipo and a reciever?! Those servos take max 6v and from a 2s lipo you are putting 8.4 fully charged ! They dont gona stay alive for long time 🤷🏻♂️
Yes, good observation. The servos will work on HV but will have a reduced lifespan. In video Part 5, we remove the servos and upgrade to HV servos. -Brett
