I've heard of some people repinching the sleeve on nitro engines to get some compression back and get more use out of the engine. Maybe you can try that with this one and see if it works.
They were fun Nitro cars over 20 years ago on the M6 at 3am in the morning with your best friend chasing it in is Taxi. Well it got to 60 then it did a flying act never to be seen again 🤣 It does resemble/remind me of the old vintage HPI RS4-2 Nitro 🫡 The comments on the other video Mr Benjamin were Not! about that specific nitro car more so about the MT4 🖖
Dont think that you can buy one. And if so, it doesnt make sense to buy a tool for 2500€ to pinch an 150€ engine 🤔 Cheaper to buy new piston and sleeve
None of those 3 cars are Firestorms lol.
To get the sleeve out, just stick the end of a zip tie in the exhaust port and turn the crank shaft. It slides up enough to grab it and pull it out.
Merry Christmas bro,same to all the subscribers too 😁👍♥️
Great video Haggard, I love a diagnostic and test run afterwards! Merry Christmas mate and a wicked new year!
Hag 😂😂tires had low air pressure the reason it wouldn't run. I have fun All the Time 🤣 Good vid 👊
Well done Haggard 👍 in your faces, (too) serious people 😜😜😜

There should be a little pin with Teflon on it that goes in the hole of the piston it looks like a .15fe hpi engine God Bless…..Virgil
