@@TheGamemaster87 hey brother! YUP! this is some nitro RC history right here, it belongs in a damn museum according to me. We will run it and hope to find some ARRMAS to drive over and SMOKE them with the Rich & Loud tune, ahahah. On purpose.

What a gem ! I appreciate the variety of nitros on this channel plus the history lesson. You sure you don’t secretly have a time machine (DeLorean) you be hitting that two speed at 88mph !!!
Hi just wanted to let you know I am on nitro spree.went from two nitro to ten in a matter of months. Watching your channel. Just bought two CEN 7.7 Nemissis and Genniss monsters. I am making Nitro great in Canada.
hey buddy! Glad you liked that comparison, I left all my REVOs out for that scene, but they are basically like the T-maxx 3.3. I will say the twin titan is super tall, and I had the body on a relatively low setting btw. In the second part video I will do some weight comparisons and also point out way more interesting and some BOGUS details. I'm sure you will be entertained, cause I know I am, lol.

@@hybrid32494 did you have a hpi super 5sc flux in the right corner I know you said it was electric I have one of those only because it’s the LARGEST ELECTRIC RC ever made
@@nomusicrc hey dude! That was an HPI Trophy Truggy Flux, it's 1/8 scale 4S powered system.

whats up bro! Yup man, I'm lucky to be able to work on sure a care piece of RC history, this is not something I would ever own myself, just due to cost alone. But it sure is a super rare gem, and hopefully soon we will get to run it.
I was just thinking about OFNA last night. Clicked on youtube to find some OFNA vids and sure enough, this is the first video on the homepage. What are the odds!?
hey brother! Welcome to my Channel! This must be some type of RC Divine intervention, haha! Nothing wrong with that, I'm working on restoring this truck and then we will run it to bring back some of the OFNA glory we all miss. Working on the second video right now.
For sure! love your vids. I don't comment on youtube very often. I thank you for keeping nitro alive. I got an exceed madstorm about 10 years ago. completely sheered the crank on the original engine not long after. replaced it with an lrp z.28r. I put a ton of hours on that thing until it sat for about 2 years. Still starts and runs like a champ every time. It's definitely an attention grabber at the rc park, because 9 times out of 10 I'm the only one running a nitro there. But there was one guy a few weeks ago with a nitro rustler and a traxxas t maxx, which had a 2 speed. While he was running it I yelled "2 SPEED BABY!" good times lol.
That's awesome man! Can't wait to see it running. Are you gonna show the full restore, or bits and pieces as you go? Be cool to see a full video of the restore if that's possible lol can't wait to see it either way!!!
I have one. Bought new. Never seen fuel. Has PSP custom aluminum wheels. Twin superchargers. And a box full of upgrades to install. All are out of production now. One of these days I will do it up. 😎
hey brother! you're thinking is correct! Most twin nitros were optional Kits that you had to purchase separately. I will actually cover this in a future video (part 2) and I'll show a couple HPI savage conversions, the Truckzilla Twin and a New ERA conversion, Also going to put your comment in the video, just because you the man for watching and asking!!.
hey my dude! For real!! My first time ever seeing a twin nitro truck like this unclose, honestly lots of interesting engineering in this, I'll cover some of the intricate details later. Nitrogang!!.
TWO SPEED BABY, HELLS YEAH MAN!!! That guy has a couple of awesome rc’s, definitely a great slice of history. I really can’t wait 😜 to see the running video, did he leave the F1 with you as well, hope so cause I’d really love to see the F1 running in moderate anger. Niiiiiiiiiiice video D: mitri. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧
whats up my dude! Im thinking of a new video concept where I could simulate Parkour and RC. My idea so far is to just break out a nitro RC and drift around anywhere I want, at random locations. Still working on the idea tho, imagine having to start a nitro like 10 times to get some footage, lol.
hey my dude! Major congrats to you! These trucks are super rare and for sure a collectible and will only go up in value over the years. I think I saw the one you're talking about there were some listings on ebay for these, new in box, and never ran. Looked terrific! Thanks for being here and making SICKENING nitros Great Again!.
hey bro! I remember you were telling me about getting another nitro , congrats to you, finally!! You can never have too many 2-speeds, you know what I'm saying. If you add them all up you have 6 SPEEDs!! HELL yes!.
Whats up Nitrogang Member Irfan! Thanks so much for coming by and letting all of us here see this truck, we will get it running super RICH & Super loud soon! It will be richer than Donald Trump, it will be Warren Buffet rich, considering it will have smoke coming out of 2 pipes, lol...
hey bro! The first twin nitro on this channel! Amazing, I'm working o the second video right now, also lots of cool and weird things I've discovered, as usual. Very rare to have a twin nitro from the factory btw, usually they were all conversions at this time.
hey my dude! Totally hyped over here too! This is my first time ever working or seeing a dual nitro truck upclose. Quite interesting, I'm learning and noticing lots of quirks and features I'll cover in the second video.
@@hybrid32494 great. The more videos the better on this one. I've never seen a twin engine truck in person but back in the day I always wanted the hot bodies lightning gtx2! Seen loads online.
hey my BRAP brother Jeff! You changed your username on here I see. This is my first unclose look at the twin nitro truck, lots of interesting things, I'll talk about in part 2. BTW this thing has helical cut gears, not spiral, I'll be discussing it in more detail, I'm sure you know lots about that kind of stuff.
It’s a fuel stick/gun. And the head is low for LCG, although there is a slight aerodynamic advantage from the lcg head. The lower center gravity keeps the car from rolling, and pitching too hard in the corners. Makes it easier to drive....a lot of reasons..it’s common in 1/8 off road.
Nitro gang thanks for sharing lol would love to see it with a three speed transmission baby that’s still a beast would love to get my hands on one of these 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Yeah. I know. What’s next, “Are we gonna have to modify our rigs just to fit whatever is left in the market 🙄”. Like love the onboard camera videos cause you get to hear the music in your ears coming out of the engines. If you have a minute check one of mine that’s titled, “Truckin with my blazer”. Bro the Sound that comes out of that O.S. 12 is lovely. You’ll see Arnold driving that thing so if you not into drivers it’s a spoil alert. 😆
hey brother!! The Nitrogang is here! And this is the total badass of the nitro segment, TWIN nitro baby!! I'm currently doing some research on this and it seems like is a Special Edition model, so even rarer than expected for a twin nitro truck.
hey bro! Glad you approve, yes!! This is the first twin nitro motor RC on my channel, in fact this is the only second one I've ever seen in real life. These things are highly rare, but soon we will be running it super rich and super loud! It might be the loudest nitro ever!!
@@hybrid32494 now that I'm thinking about it, I believe it's an issue of one of the lesser known mags, rc car or rc driver. I'll go through my stacks when I get home and get back to you
@@thetoddperspective UGHH, damn!! thanks bro, unfortunately I can only find old RC Car action ones, I'll keep searching though. Check out this link, I'm 100% sure this is the one I have. fastharry.com/2009/11/03/ofna-titan-twin-dual-nitro-engine-radio-control-monster-truck-limited-edition/comment-page-1/
hey brother! Oh yes, back n these days the Nitro Game was 100% crazy hardcore. Lots of twin nitro motor trucks existed btw, although many were conversions you had to buy separately, but this was a true factory RTR model, which is quite rare. Imagine starting and tuning one engine at a time, lol. Super gas guzzler too, ahaha.
The flat cooling head on the F1 type car may have also been for lower center of gravity like the O.S. 12LD (lay down). I built a twin Kyosho Giga Crusher and it was a kit, not an upgrade to a single engine model.
hey my dude! What's up! Very good point about the OS LV engines, I did a whole video on them a while ago, so I know exactly what you're talking about. Got a question for you, other than this factory twin engine nitro in the video, are you aware of any other RTR twin nitro trucks ever sold?? Other than the conversion kits from New Era and Hot bodies? This would greatly help me out. Giga Crusher is dope bro! very nice..
Twin titan. Wish I had bought 1 but it was an ofna, lol, jokes on me cause ironically enough, I swapped a stretched chassis and big block into my 99 tmaxx 2.5 about 5 years after I bought it new, back in 99 I put an ofna hyper ,21 cause I had already blown a lot of $$ on the chassis kit, figured I could get the o.s. later. 16 years later that ofna hyper .21 still moves that tmaxx pretty well. Gallons of fuel
You got the ofna titan twin. Yes I’ve been talking about it for 18 years in 2003 I remember I was gonna get that along time ago and the color is blue and yellow with flames on it. My favorite truck and it’s fast too 80hp. Get 2 LRP 28 it will go faster
Hey man thanks so much for watching, I just released the second part video to this make sure to check it out, a lot of very interesting RC history on this particular truck. I guarantee you will love it.
haha, hey my dude! YUP! I'm crazy for the Nitrogang!! Too much nitro fuel smoke inhalation, lol. Imagine how cool a twin nitro will look when it's running, soon we will see. BTW I see you're a new sub, welcome to the channel!!
@@Wild_Buggy Glad to have you here man! I love this stuff, I'm sure you will see though my vids. BTW have you seen the PRIMAL MT gas truck videos? I drove it over myself many times!.ITs the world's current largest GAS RC you could buy.
hey bro! what's up! YEs, this is a super rare model, I'm doing some more research on it right now and it appears to be an ever rarer SPECIAL EDITION model, more about that later in a follow-up video.
@@realcarii Hey bro! It's my pleasure, the least I can do. Don't forget about how FAST I reply either, you literally just wrote this second comment a few seconds ago and I just stopped editing today's RC video and Said "I gotta RESPOND ASAP to the Nitrogang"!.. 😂
hey brother! LOL. Unfortunately this truck isn't mine, but I'm doing this for the entire Nitrogang! So don't worry, you're a part of this restoration. Im working on the part 2 of this video, lots of interesting stuff on this, it's crazy!!!!>.
hey brother!! thanks so much for watching! This was my first unclose look at a twin nitro setup, pretty interesting But I already found a coupe weird things about it, will cover it in the second video on this, will be pretty interesting.
hey dude! thanks so much! Glad to have you here! I'm currently working on the electronics and some more detailed research and history on this truck, I've since discovered a couple highly interesting things.
Hey bro! I just checked, and this was something I was going to cover in a future video, about the way the motors are connected to the spur gear. They both turn the same direction, its basically two clutch bells connected to a single central 2-speed system, quite a nice and straight forward setup really.
There is something cool about nitro engines, as it’s not always about going crazy fast. Granted my XLX2/2028 motor can sustain 10hp and peak at 18hp on my 1/5 buggy, it doesn’t have the soul or character as a nitro engine sound and smoke.
hey dude! there is a follow-up video I've done since this one. Here is the link for you, ruclips.net/video/xEdB11hihtk/видео.html. There will be more soon, just had other priority projects over this..
YEEEA I got a hpi savage XXL and mad the ties poof so far i got a after market engine and an extra hpi savage engine and was thinking of adding the other but i want to make it where i have a really bottom high set top gear for one engine and when i winds down i want the other to pick up and carry a really high bottom end gear just and idea
hey my dude! what's going on, thanks for watching. I'm in Staten Island, so right near Jersey and Brooklyn. Grew up outside the USA, so my accent isn't from here. But accents don't matter, only NITROs matter, am I right or what!! ahahaha.
@@nolimitrc1 you don't think this is his old truck do you?? It would be highly possible! These things are super rare, I doubt there were ever more than a couple floating around queen. BTW I know the current owner (not me) is form that local area, so it's totally possible.
@@hybrid32494 i absolutely do i will get pictures if i can im sure he has some and it would be awesome if there is any way i can email the owner i have an offer he wont refuse if he is interested this was the first truck that i ever used got me into nitro when i was a little kid ! This is truly crazy and i ran into your awesome channel by chance for the second video i watch i see this like whaaattt im just blown away !
Oh no! Not the RB innovations air filters! Ewwwww! Very cool truck I gotta say however. That spiral gear is interesting. And yep I love my ofna colts, espcially the mini version. The reason it says 3.5 is because force already made a 3.5 very widely available. They decided the 3.5 was a bit underpowered and put in a .26 piston and sleeve internals into the 3.5 crankcase, so they didn't have to make a brand new mold for a .26 crankcase.
hey bro! Yes, I can totally believe that! Almost all f-1 style indy cars are actually trash in terms of drivability, they are too low, the tires have no grip and they are too light. I've even built similar style 1/4 scale RC go carts, also undriveable. Mostly just a novelty item at this point.
hey bro! Yes, you're right, Schumacher did make a Twin nitro from the factory, it was called the Manic. I'm not sure if it was a pre-built ARTR model or an RTR, most likely it was a 90% assembled model because that's what Schumacher mostly did back then. Anyway, it was a stadium truck so I didn't mention it for this video, but you're right! Thanks for the comment bro.
@@hybrid32494 sad that I forgot all about schumacher. They had some sweet rides back in the day. I've been out for few years. Lost interest. Sucks I kept most of my electric. But I sold my rc10 gt. Not a re-release either. Want that jato though.. got the fever again
haha, hey bro! You're def not dumb! Cause nobody in the the Nitrogang is dumb! SO I'm working on the PART 2 video and I will show how that radio box is setup, turns out the only way to open it is to remove that top brace. I would say it's pretty dumb, lol. Agreee??? you will see it in the second video. I might even include your comment in my next video as a special shoutout to you..
Hey Man! Got one of those .26 engines that I picked up long ago on eBay and been keeping an eye on replacement parts. Do they still offer piston and sleeve replacement for it. If someone knows please comments. Go nitro 🏁🇨🇱👍
I think they are Force engines by design but also sold as Ofna through Habao(my spelling might be wrong?)in the vintage parts section of there web page.
You can get them re-pinched by one of the engine modders, costs around $25. That would return your compression back to normal as long as the engine is in good shape.
Good response, you're right. These are just basic FORCE engines, I would say any modern HaBao similar spec parts would fit. But it's a stretch, considering this way a .26 size motor, not a common engine size these days.
hey bro! what's up! Check out the HoBao website, they still sell vintage OFNA parts, chances are at this point a rebuild would cost you almost the price of a new .21-.28, so gotta be aware of that. Nitrogang!!!..
never seen one of these were only few hours from each other id love to meet up n run some rcs sometime go get some pie while I'm there I don't do pineapple though buddy lol have an awesome day bro sorry I haven't said hello in a while still fightin that cancer shit ill make it bro take care
hey bro! You could have a whole bunch of issue, but I honestly cannot tell from the description you gave me. Sounds like you're saying the motor runs but you're unable to get it to run forward, is that right? Theres a bunch of stuff you need to check, starting with the clutch itself and then the gear mesh of the spur and pinion, let me know.

hey my dude! Yes, these are super rare. BTW I'm working o the second part video right now, turns out this is the SPECIAL EDITION model too. Its got the Twin Titan Logo etched in the chassis, I looked it up, means it's a very early production run. I'll show it in the next video.
hey brother! LOL. Considering I drive a PRIUS, you have a very good point right there, lol. But to be honest with you these types of truck are mostly Shelf Queens, they see very little run time. Which explains why this one is like new, you know. I'm paying 97 bucks for 12 quarts (3 gallons) of nitro fuel, so I can spare a quart for a few runs, hahaha. 👍🏻
Lol don’t get me wrong I think they are super cool I just have a hard time firing up a rc car with one engine sometimes 😂 I can’t imagine tuning two on a single truck
@@cheezyrider1111 you got a point right there, lol! We will see how tough this will actually be soon, I'm hoping within the next 3 videos I'll attempt to start it up.
yes, it's got a diff, you saw me turn the wheels independently right?? I was assuming it could have been a direct (no-diff) drive system because years ago I used to own a 1/4 go-cart I built, and it was just a solid direct drive.
LOL hey man! Me again, I'm responding to all your comments in a row, looks like. Anyway, it sounds like you're saying it's a LOSI Aftershock, they are basically the same as the LOSI LST (I did videos on them previously). The same chassis, only minor tweaks. Ye the OS 30 VG is a top notch motor, you're lucky!!>
hey bro! Yup, I know. Considering the block says 3.5 IDK how they came up with a .26. But the engine does exist and this thing is original and I've even found many mentions of the .26 engines. Somebody needs to figurer this out, lol, Lets see if any comments can answer this mystery..
@@hybrid32494 force doesnt currently produce a .26. the next step up from .21 is their .25 and then a .28. I bet this .26 shenanigans was some kind of marketing move by ofna. I smell some REAL bullshit 👃

hey brother! you're thinking is correct! Most twin nitros were optional Kits that you had to purchase separately. I will actually cover this in a future video (part 2) and I'll show a couple HPI savage conversions, the Truckzilla Twin and a New ERA conversion, Also going to put your comment in the video, just because you the man for watching and asking!!.
Wow, that thing is MONSTER!
hey my dude! For real!! My first time ever seeing a twin nitro truck like this unclose, honestly lots of interesting engineering in this, I'll cover some of the intricate details later. Nitrogang!!.
@@hybrid32494 Raminator 1/5th scale need twin engine too! LOL!!
TWO SPEED BABY, HELLS YEAH MAN!!! That guy has a couple of awesome rc’s, definitely a great slice of history. I really can’t wait 😜 to see the running video, did he leave the F1 with you as well, hope so cause I’d really love to see the F1 running in moderate anger. Niiiiiiiiiiice video D: mitri. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧
Loved them. So rare. 👍👍
whats up my dude! Im thinking of a new video concept where I could simulate Parkour and RC. My idea so far is to just break out a nitro RC and drift around anywhere I want, at random locations. Still working on the idea tho, imagine having to start a nitro like 10 times to get some footage, lol.
Great video man ..I had to buy one hahahah .got one never been run . Now I have to watch more to learn how to make nitro great again
hey my dude! Major congrats to you! These trucks are super rare and for sure a collectible and will only go up in value over the years. I think I saw the one you're talking about there were some listings on ebay for these, new in box, and never ran. Looked terrific! Thanks for being here and making SICKENING nitros Great Again!.
Wow that looks awesome hybrid... 👌👏😍 u really know ur stuff
Good news I got my new Traxxas Jato 3.3 tsm black and orange and blue. I finally got it and it took me 2 months. And it’s my 3rd jato. 2 speed baby
hey bro! I remember you were telling me about getting another nitro , congrats to you, finally!! You can never have too many 2-speeds, you know what I'm saying. If you add them all up you have 6 SPEEDs!! HELL yes!.
@@hybrid32494 yes sir I finally got it man it took 2 months so it’s here now. I got it broken in yesterday and it’s all tune up. Ready to go.
Awesome; can’t wait hear this truck. Cheers bro
Whats up Nitrogang Member Irfan! Thanks so much for coming by and letting all of us here see this truck, we will get it running super RICH & Super loud soon! It will be richer than Donald Trump, it will be Warren Buffet rich, considering it will have smoke coming out of 2 pipes, lol...
Thanks a lot bro
OMG! That's awesome brother! 2 2 speed baby! Nitrogang X2!
hey bro! The first twin nitro on this channel! Amazing, I'm working o the second video right now, also lots of cool and weird things I've discovered, as usual. Very rare to have a twin nitro from the factory btw, usually they were all conversions at this time.
Awesome monster truck bro, now get to work and let's see this beast of a rc running
whats up bro! The Nitrogang is going wild with this one! First dual nitro on this channel! It's a milestone for us all!.
@@hybrid32494 absolutely bro, now it is time to think about the next milestone
Wow! I am really hyped for this one. What a beast!!!!! 😎
hey my dude! Totally hyped over here too! This is my first time ever working or seeing a dual nitro truck upclose. Quite interesting, I'm learning and noticing lots of quirks and features I'll cover in the second video.
@@hybrid32494 great. The more videos the better on this one. I've never seen a twin engine truck in person but back in the day I always wanted the hot bodies lightning gtx2! Seen loads online.
very cool vid brother. Ive always wanted a titan twin
hey my BRAP brother Jeff! You changed your username on here I see. This is my first unclose look at the twin nitro truck, lots of interesting things, I'll talk about in part 2. BTW this thing has helical cut gears, not spiral, I'll be discussing it in more detail, I'm sure you know lots about that kind of stuff.
It’s a fuel stick/gun. And the head is low for LCG, although there is a slight aerodynamic advantage from the lcg head. The lower center gravity keeps the car from rolling, and pitching too hard in the corners. Makes it easier to drive....a lot of reasons..it’s common in 1/8 off road.
Nitro gang thanks for sharing lol would love to see it with a three speed transmission baby that’s still a beast would love to get my hands on one of these 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Yeah. I know. What’s next, “Are we gonna have to modify our rigs just to fit whatever is left in the market 🙄”. Like love the onboard camera videos cause you get to hear the music in your ears coming out of the engines. If you have a minute check one of mine that’s titled, “Truckin with my blazer”. Bro the Sound that comes out of that O.S. 12 is lovely. You’ll see Arnold driving that thing so if you not into drivers it’s a spoil alert. 😆
THAT IS THE EPITOME OF BADASS!!!
hey brother!! The Nitrogang is here! And this is the total badass of the nitro segment, TWIN nitro baby!! I'm currently doing some research on this and it seems like is a Special Edition model, so even rarer than expected for a twin nitro truck.
@@hybrid32494 Serious?! Wow, its a double whammy, twin engine, 2 speed baby². Hhahah.
Nice truck. I've really been wanting to find a good monster pirate for my collection. Always wanted that truck back in the day.
My childhood freinds dad had one lol he wouldnt even take it off the shelf for us to look at!
I have this same Monster Truck and like 10 different other Nitro Monster Trucks as well from the Early 2000's
hey my dude! I'm glad to see another fellow NITRO brother here in the comment. I see you watched the newer follow-up vids on this truck, awesome.
This is a awesome new project.
hey bro! Glad you approve, yes!! This is the first twin nitro motor RC on my channel, in fact this is the only second one I've ever seen in real life. These things are highly rare, but soon we will be running it super rich and super loud! It might be the loudest nitro ever!!
There's an article in one of my old magazines about a 24k gold plated twin titan
whats up bro! Could you tell me which magazine and while issue, I can open almost any RC Car action magazine and find it. Would be interesting.
@@hybrid32494 now that I'm thinking about it, I believe it's an issue of one of the lesser known mags, rc car or rc driver. I'll go through my stacks when I get home and get back to you

Wow. I had no clue that something like this existed! So cool!
hey brother! Oh yes, back n these days the Nitro Game was 100% crazy hardcore. Lots of twin nitro motor trucks existed btw, although many were conversions you had to buy separately, but this was a true factory RTR model, which is quite rare. Imagine starting and tuning one engine at a time, lol. Super gas guzzler too, ahaha.
I built a twin engine 1/8 scale buggy years ago. Obviously it wasn't for racing, but it was pretty crazy for bashing around with.
That thing is awesome,cool video
Always enjoying Bro 👊🏻👍🏻
Love the two of everything my favorite
The flat cooling head on the F1 type car may have also been for lower center of gravity like the O.S. 12LD (lay down). I built a twin Kyosho Giga Crusher and it was a kit, not an upgrade to a single engine model.
hey my dude! What's up! Very good point about the OS LV engines, I did a whole video on them a while ago, so I know exactly what you're talking about. Got a question for you, other than this factory twin engine nitro in the video, are you aware of any other RTR twin nitro trucks ever sold?? Other than the conversion kits from New Era and Hot bodies? This would greatly help me out. Giga Crusher is dope bro! very nice..
@@hybrid32494 Not RTR, just the Giga Crusher kit.
Wow... you just brought back some good memories dude I had the Titan single engine with the wide stance kit AWESOME!!..... I think I still have it?!
The truck is pretty mint too
Twin titan. Wish I had bought 1 but it was an ofna, lol, jokes on me cause ironically enough, I swapped a stretched chassis and big block into my 99 tmaxx 2.5 about 5 years after I bought it new, back in 99
I put an ofna hyper ,21 cause I had already blown a lot of $$ on the chassis kit, figured I could get the o.s. later.
16 years later that ofna hyper .21 still moves that tmaxx pretty well.
Gallons of fuel
Duuude thats Brap brother Irfan Hafeez Hes a good brother! I really like him!
hey bro! Yes! I totally agree, Irfan is the MAN! He drives around with rare vintage nitros in like new condition, what's better than that??? lol.
The f1 car is sick I wouldn't even run that thing it's mint
You got the ofna titan twin. Yes I’ve been talking about it for 18 years in 2003 I remember I was gonna get that along time ago and the color is blue and yellow with flames on it. My favorite truck and it’s fast too 80hp. Get 2 LRP 28 it will go faster
Wow nice car🔥🔥👍

nice video man
hey dude! thanks so much! Glad to have you here! I'm currently working on the electronics and some more detailed research and history on this truck, I've since discovered a couple highly interesting things.
i can't wait to see it driving to see how fast it gose 🍻🍻🍻
BEAST
I had one when it first came out
My dude that is cool. Your buddy has some real vintage gems. The nitrogang will make that ofna great again. Does one of the motors run clockwise?
Hey bro! I just checked, and this was something I was going to cover in a future video, about the way the motors are connected to the spur gear. They both turn the same direction, its basically two clutch bells connected to a single central 2-speed system, quite a nice and straight forward setup really.
There is something cool about nitro engines, as it’s not always about going crazy fast. Granted my XLX2/2028 motor can sustain 10hp and peak at 18hp on my 1/5 buggy, it doesn’t have the soul or character as a nitro engine sound and smoke.
13,500 watts to your electric motor, NOT accounting for losses? I call B.S. on THAT claim..
Very cool
hey man! Welcome to the channel! I see you're a new sub, glad to have you here. There is a second video on this truck btw, more to come.
Are you going to do another follow up or full run video on it ..not many good running videos on RUclips
hey dude! there is a follow-up video I've done since this one. Here is the link for you, ruclips.net/video/xEdB11hihtk/видео.html. There will be more soon, just had other priority projects over this..
YEEEA I got a hpi savage XXL and mad the ties poof so far i got a after market engine and an extra hpi savage engine and was thinking of adding the other but i want to make it where i have a really bottom high set top gear for one engine and when i winds down i want the other to pick up and carry a really high bottom end gear just and idea
That is wicked. Wonder how hard it is to get both engines tuned. Looking forward to the next videos.
You just run them one at a time as you tune them, and once you get them both tuned, fire em both up and go RIP
Omg my uncle had that truck!!! Are you on the east side? Possible new jersey new york area??? Whatt the heckkkk!!???
hey my dude! what's going on, thanks for watching. I'm in Staten Island, so right near Jersey and Brooklyn. Grew up outside the USA, so my accent isn't from here. But accents don't matter, only NITROs matter, am I right or what!! ahahaha.
@@hybrid32494 my uncle is from queens and he had that truck 12 years ago
@@nolimitrc1 you don't think this is his old truck do you?? It would be highly possible! These things are super rare, I doubt there were ever more than a couple floating around queen. BTW I know the current owner (not me) is form that local area, so it's totally possible.
@@hybrid32494 i absolutely do i will get pictures if i can im sure he has some and it would be awesome if there is any way i can email the owner i have an offer he wont refuse if he is interested this was the first truck that i ever used got me into nitro when i was a little kid ! This is truly crazy and i ran into your awesome channel by chance for the second video i watch i see this like whaaattt im just blown away !
Nitro gang!
4 life! Once you're in the GANG its 4 ever!. Arrma free zone, unless it qualifies for an exclusion under the 4:1 nitro to electric allowance ratio.
Oh no! Not the RB innovations air filters! Ewwwww! Very cool truck I gotta say however. That spiral gear is interesting. And yep I love my ofna colts, espcially the mini version.
The reason it says 3.5 is because force already made a 3.5 very widely available. They decided the 3.5 was a bit underpowered and put in a .26 piston and sleeve internals into the 3.5 crankcase, so they didn't have to make a brand new mold for a .26 crankcase.
I had that ofna Indy car it was a POS with zero traction spun in circles
hey bro! Yes, I can totally believe that! Almost all f-1 style indy cars are actually trash in terms of drivability, they are too low, the tires have no grip and they are too light. I've even built similar style 1/4 scale RC go carts, also undriveable. Mostly just a novelty item at this point.
I like it.
Truggy flux is awesome I have one bro
Ofna twin baby!
hybrid32494 i have a question does you're traxxas revo 3.3 break often?
Think I need to google but think schumacher had a twin ingine also
hey bro! Yes, you're right, Schumacher did make a Twin nitro from the factory, it was called the Manic. I'm not sure if it was a pre-built ARTR model or an RTR, most likely it was a 90% assembled model because that's what Schumacher mostly did back then. Anyway, it was a stadium truck so I didn't mention it for this video, but you're right! Thanks for the comment bro.
@@hybrid32494 sad that I forgot all about schumacher. They had some sweet rides back in the day. I've been out for few years. Lost interest. Sucks I kept most of my electric. But I sold my rc10 gt. Not a re-release either. Want that jato though.. got the fever again
Let’s talk about that receiver/battery box. Am I dumb or is it dumb.
haha, hey bro! You're def not dumb! Cause nobody in the the Nitrogang is dumb! SO I'm working on the PART 2 video and I will show how that radio box is setup, turns out the only way to open it is to remove that top brace. I would say it's pretty dumb, lol. Agreee??? you will see it in the second video. I might even include your comment in my next video as a special shoutout to you..
Hey Man! Got one of those .26 engines that I picked up long ago on eBay and been keeping an eye on replacement parts. Do they still offer piston and sleeve replacement for it. If someone knows please comments. Go nitro 🏁🇨🇱👍
I think they are Force engines by design but also sold as Ofna through Habao(my spelling might be wrong?)in the vintage parts section of there web page.
You can get them re-pinched by one of the engine modders, costs around $25. That would return your compression back to normal as long as the engine is in good shape.
Good response, you're right. These are just basic FORCE engines, I would say any modern HaBao similar spec parts would fit. But it's a stretch, considering this way a .26 size motor, not a common engine size these days.
hey bro! what's up! Check out the HoBao website, they still sell vintage OFNA parts, chances are at this point a rebuild would cost you almost the price of a new .21-.28, so gotta be aware of that. Nitrogang!!!..
You mean it would be ideal to use my old used one as door stop instead?. 😂 wow. I’ll check it out. Thanks bro. Keep it burning 🔥
👍👍👍👍👍

Schumacher manic 36 twin very rare
hey bro! Yes! Very rare, I've seen a few for sale, but never in the USA unfortunately. Maybe one day!!
Ide be willing to bet they are 26s and you were right they just use the same block and the heads would not fit in a 21 sleeve
Hey man, I got a hpi baja taken it out last night, the brakes don’t work and the gears don’t move but still moves when started? Is that normal
hey bro! You could have a whole bunch of issue, but I honestly cannot tell from the description you gave me. Sounds like you're saying the motor runs but you're unable to get it to run forward, is that right? Theres a bunch of stuff you need to check, starting with the clutch itself and then the gear mesh of the spur and pinion, let me know.
@@hybrid32494 hi it does move forward I probably have to change the brakes. And check the clutch. Part of the hobby haha needs a good strip down

It’s a cool design but with fuel prices and such I could never see me owning one. Cool history tho
hey brother! LOL. Considering I drive a PRIUS, you have a very good point right there, lol. But to be honest with you these types of truck are mostly Shelf Queens, they see very little run time. Which explains why this one is like new, you know. I'm paying 97 bucks for 12 quarts (3 gallons) of nitro fuel, so I can spare a quart for a few runs, hahaha. 👍🏻
Lol don’t get me wrong I think they are super cool I just have a hard time firing up a rc car with one engine sometimes 😂 I can’t imagine tuning two on a single truck
@@cheezyrider1111 you got a point right there, lol! We will see how tough this will actually be soon, I'm hoping within the next 3 videos I'll attempt to start it up.

Hey bro! Awesome! I used to have one of those original ones, nothing like a vintage Nitro Monster Truck at this point! right! NItrogang 4 life!!.
If it was a direct drive rear it wouldn't turn it has to have a rear diff
yes, it's got a diff, you saw me turn the wheels independently right?? I was assuming it could have been a direct (no-diff) drive system because years ago I used to own a 1/4 go-cart I built, and it was just a solid direct drive.
