Very good dude

Hey, can anybody give me advice on this lot please? Is it any good and is the price worth it? Thanks! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F333116252537

It's alright, I didn't think we were arguing anyway lol. See I don't usually plan, it's more of a random thing usually. I might find myself with half hour to kill so out comes the Savage or what ever. Start it up and go... With my Electric ones I can't do that because of the batteries... But as I already said I store them fully charged so they are ready to go but my point is if you store them properly then, you have to charge them before you go lol. I've really enjoyed this little thread, I love a discussion lol

I bought a HPI trophy truggy in December. Seems alright to me...

Interesting, I hadn't realised all that was in place yet I thought they were only just talking about a license for them.

Haha true, ad you know what I meant, not speed as in how fast they can go, speed as in preparation time. ?

Well I mean you're supposed to store them half charged or what ever aren't you. I never bothered but I did try to for a while. With Nitro you can simply finish playing around, put it away and forget about it. Next time you wanna play with it, you only have to charge the hump pack but that's like once every month so you just need to fill the tank, and go. I always have 3 or 4 glow starters with me and those are simple to charge. No messing around putting those into storage state lol. I just found electric to be more needy than Nitro. I know some of you mess around with after run oil and all that but that's another topic. I have Li-Po's still for my one remaining electric car and I never store them how it's recommened and they're fine but my point is, it's good to follow instructions when you spend £70 and up on a battery so the hassle of them compared to Nitro is massive in my opinion lol.

I'm with you, Nitro is so much faster and easier lol. That's what I don't like about Electric. Having said that I've never messed around with all that discharge and what ever with Li-Pos lol they stay in the box until I wanna use them next ?

You're right there, I've always found that with friends who like my ones, end up getting one then get bored very fast when they find it isn't just start it up and go. I have an electric drift car, and I did buy a Savage Flux but I found the Li-Po batteries to be a massive pain when it comes to having to store them at a % etc... I find Nitro to be much easier. I got my first nitro in the early 2000's when the Savage21 was first released. That was my first Nitro truck, I find Electric boring which is why I sold the Flux. Anyway, my local Hobby shop seems to be 90% Electric now, it's very hard to get anything Nitro, it all has to be requested and ordered sadly. I'm having a very hard time finding a T3.0 engine which is what lead me to this subject in the first place lol.

So have I but don't you think there aren't many new ones coming out and parts are hard to come by?

Niicceeee I just got myself a Mavic Pro Platinum so I'm looking forward to enjoying it!

I think it's quite sad, I can't see any new Nitro models coming out either for the general hobbiest.

I was talking to a Hobby shop owner today after trying to buy an engine, it seems Nitro engines are becoming very hard to come across because manufacturers are moving towards all Electric... This owner said Nitro is dying! What are your thoughts?

I'm always confused by those websites, just use common sense if you ask me lol.

Yeeessssssss I love seeing people win stuff, well done!

I think the whole thing was stupid lol.

Ahh my mistake, I didn't realise you were meaning the clutch could be dragging. I thought you meant the clutch was making the "Idle" really high. I take it back And thank you for watching my video's P.S your link doesn't work.

Cheers mate basically it's for my YouTube Channel RustySkull Productions but if you can come up with a kool one for my RC channel RustyRC that's good too! I'll send you a PM.

Yes they were my Rush Evo was always my favorite. This Rush is awesome too!

Hey, I'm trying to come up with an awesome design for my merch and a Logo but I'm struggling... Are any of you any good at this kind of thing and feel like helping out? I can pay you for your time of course. Thanks!!

I got an original Rush and slowly restored it and I did a small series on it... You can see it here! The test is still to come and an overview will be live at 05:00 tomorrow morning!! Below is the play list consisting of 5 video's currently!

Hello, I disagree with Flexiblood, Clutch has nothing to do with idle speed. When on tick over or "Idle" the clutch should be completely out of use. Infact you can run an engine without any clutch installed and it'll run fine. I haven't had any problems with Trophy Truggies myself I find the 4.6 engine to be not bad at all. What exactly do you mean it goes like a bat out of hell? It will run faster if you make it leaner and slower if you make it richer. If you're making it lean enough to stall it then you are the problem, not the engine. Set the needles back to factory settings, Make sure no fuel line is trapped and the throttle all the way closed. Then start it up, you can adjust the tick over with the dedicated screw under the air filter. You say it stops when you remove the glowe starter, are you pre heating the engine? You an use a hair dryer or heat gun or just buy a real engine heater for £20 from you local model shop. The reason it stops when you remove the glow starter is most likely because it's cold outside, and the engine isn't yet warm enough. Leave the glow starter in until it's warm. I need to ask you what method are you trying to use when breaking it in? When you tell me, I'll walk you through what to do.

Thanks

Conked out again lol.

I made a video a few days ago all about how I tune my Nitro engines. Have a look, it might help you.
