supersavage Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Those engine heaters make starting new Nitro engines sooo much easier, also helps keeping it at the right temperature for the break in process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 The only issues I had was the set screw holding the the mount for the pipe fell out, so I’ve scraped the underside of the pipe and I also struggled to prime the engine, so i took the pipes off the carb and pipe and blew down the return pipe to prime, think I’ll get one of the little squeeze primer bulb thingys lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I used those we bulb primers they are pretty good Before i started using the bulb i used to open the throttle manually then prime it and switch radio gear on except 1 time i forgot to switch on and started engine It of course took of like a scalded cat with me running trying to catch it and didnt help with Yrkoon rolling about laughing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post .AJ. Posted April 30, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2022 Postman delivered a set of SS side guards, shame they didn’t arrive earlier it would have saved mashing up the bottom on the pipe They aren’t a exact fit, the GT has a less of a kick at the front and I had to use nuts instead of the screws threading straight into the chassis, but they work and fit fine 👍 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 so aj, will this be a continue thing like buying more nitros or is one enough? it sure seems like you had a good time with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 Something off road would be cool 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 when you mentioned off road, i immediately thought of the savage and hyper 7. at least you have a place to run them, i havent found anywhere yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 The place I ran today is the car park for the bmx track and skate park in all my other vids, it’s great place, it’s far enough away from any housing to get any complaints and literally 4 cars turned up in the 3 hours I was there. It can get busy in the afternoons though if the weather is nice, but for morning sessions it’s normally really quiet 👍 I’m going to keep an eye out on a decent secondhand MT, I would rather a Hyper MT over a Savage tbh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 The Revo 3.3 is also nice truck, but again I would prefer a Hyper MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Just now, .AJ. said: The Revo 3.3 is also nice truck, but again I would prefer a Hyper MT i had a revo years ago, i really liked that truck but i couldnt tune the engine no matter what i did. i just boiled it down to faulty engines as i had no problems tuning other engines. hopefully you will find one mate 🙂 about your hyper gt shell, will you be like me? just use a battered shell instead of using your new shell? i do the same with the wheels too, new things for ornament kind of thing.

Stormbringer Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 5 tanks through it so is that you reaching the tuning stage now ? Are you using Opti fuel ? If you are remember (you prob have) that its a bit smokier than other fuels Anyway have fun with it mate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 Yeah Opti RTR, I had to lean it out straight away to get it to move, on factory settings it wouldn’t move, it would bog and then stall. I’ve got enough fuel left for about another 4 tanks, so I’ll probably do one more tank on the settings I have now and then lean it out a bit more 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 9 tanks and a 1L done Needs proper clean now, but I want to oil the diffs anyway 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 Quick vid Im yet to hear it change gear, I’m clueless about how the 2 speed works tbh and there is no instructions for it I can find 🤔 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 Just spoken to chap on fb and I’ve taken the 2 speed out of the car, it all makes a bit more sense, one of the set screws was lose, so looks like it was stuck in one gear 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Was certainly running and sounding better in that vid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
