.AJ. Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 It’s getting there, I’m going to do 2 more tanks as it is then lean out the HSN more 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 Turns out the diffs had oil in them, but not a lot, I’ve gone for 15k in the front and 5k in the rear, also ordered some 25% Nitro fuel, so hopefully I’ll be out again with it soon and fingers crossed that I now I understand the 2 speed more I can get it to shift gears 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 So it was stuck in 2nd gear ? Once you get it sorted out youl notice a difference 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 Dunno, I think it was stuck in 1st, the set screw holding the 2 speed hub to the shaft of the spool was also loose, we will soon find out, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t work now. Also I’ve not touched the LSN yet, the engine manual says to lean it out half a turn when fully run it, so that should make a huge difference to the acceleration 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Yeh leaning the lsn should make a fair difference to acceleration 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 Yep, can’t wait to go out again, I love the fact you have to work for the performance, no just sticking a lipo in and mashing the throttle. Getting a nitro has changed my whole outlook on RC, I’m totally in love with the hobby again 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I used to love nitros years ago but getting to old for the faffing about to get them going good lol Gimme leccy and lipos nowadays lol But good nitro has got you totally into the hobby again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 Lipos and brushless have made the hobby too easy, I like a challenge now and again 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) The diffs on mine were virtually empty when I got mine(brushless roller).I don't have a clue about diff oil weights on an on road car so I looked into what most use in the infraction/felony.I ended up with 100k/500k/100k.Very heavy weights but it poweslides perfectly in the car park but I would imagine the diff weights would be very different between brushless and nitro.

capri-boy Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Good to see it being enjoyed, can't beat the sound, smell and satisfaction of a good running nitro. For those of us who lack time however... and then there's cleaning if you're a stickler like AJ. Def picked the best colour did 53hra - the blue to me looks a little cheap once it gets that used look. Almost makes me want to run one of my two nitro GT's and not perpetually weigh up sticking a 2650kv Castle in them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 Went out again this morning, couldn’t really get it running right, all ive really done is change to 25% and add the primer bulb, I wouldn’t have thought either would have caused an issue, but even back at factory settings it still didn’t run right, plenty of top end but low was terrible and boggy. Then while I was messing about some idiot horse rider decided to have a go at me, needless say that did go down well and they were reminded it was a public car park and I had just as much right to be there as them. Then when i thought I was getting somewhere the steering servo jammed up 😂😂😂 So looks like I’ll get some 20% like I used to run it in with and start again on the tune 👍 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 The paperwork that came with engine has different factory setting to this from the CML website, I’ll reset the carb to these and try again with the 25% fuel I have 👍 https://www.cmldistribution.co.uk/diagrams/HoBao/Engines/HB_Engine_settings_MacStar_28.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froggy8 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 years ago, alot of people used to have problems tuning that engine, i cant recall but i am sure i had that engine too and i was getting some trouble tuning that, cant remember if i managed to tune it or sold it as is 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 Yeah it has a pretty bad reputation, if it’s becomes a pain then it will be changed for a .21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 good luck bud, hope you can sort it. it is a powerful engine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the engine tbh, it’s having the wrong factory settings that’s the problem 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 How you getting on with this A.J? I was messing about with my nitro st-1 just the other day, got it all ready to run then realised my glow starter was flat. 😬😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
