hey bro!! For sure, Always glad to share any useful info, figured this was a terrific opportunity to demonstrate how to check spark and a plug. Jeff from east Side Rc is a great dude with a great BRAP familiy, lol. Literally!!
Dmitri you are such a cool guy. 😎 I’m not mechanical but I’m sure this has helped a lot of guys out. You always have great content and you make me laugh. By the way beautiful teeth. 😀 Thanks for giving Jeff a shoutout.
hey Marion!! Really glad you watched this video and saw the Shout Out to Jeff! I hope you tell him about it, I'm sure he doesn't have much free time to be watching so much youtube and still make his own videos. That's my case at this point, but I still watch my top 10 channels I always have, including Jeff ofcourse. LOL, so far no dentist has reached out, ahaha. thank you!!!
Great video Dmitri!!! That same thing happened to me once with the rampage one day it was ripping hard and running great and the next day I went to start it and it would not fire. I have also had a couple foul as I’m running them. I think it has a lot to do with the resistors in the spark plug. Great watch brother!!!
@@hybrid32494 Wow, thats awesome. I love my baja and nitro cars. I watch ur videos regularly, good jog down memory lane. Thanks for making fun and awesome videos bro. Cant wait to see what u will make in 2023. Cheers
My gas brother always great vids! Im watching along like always and then you shouted me out! I really appreciate that man! RCFAM4LIFE!!! Thanks for showing us the inside if the RCMK did you see how wide that exhaust port was!!! Awesome little engines! Thanks again my bro! 🤝💪🏼💪🏼⛽️⛽️⛽️⛽️⛽️
Awesome bro thanks for the tips 😁 👊 Il keep that in mind . Just joined the rc two stroke family wohoo lol . I’m so excited I just purchased the 30 degree north 😀 .
hey bro! How you doing! Welcome to the GAS and Nitro GANG family!! The 30 Degree North is becoming popular let me know how you like, I have not gotten one myself yet. Could be on the horizon, who knows! Anyways glad to have you here, I have tons of PROPER gas RC vids and make sure to watch the KILLER-BEE Kill switch install video.
@@hybrid32494 thanks so much buddy I really appreciate the help . Especially the kill switch how to it’s a must . Most definitely be watching the gas videos . Thanks again 🙏🏻😁😁
You know if its 1/5 and baja related, im on it like flys on sh*t you know what im sayin? Its what i do bajas all day! Liking the scoping of the rcmk engine as well as your dentures, very nice touch lmao😆 yes sir Jeff from eastside rc is my boy 50:1 crew and its true" its possible to foul a plug running 50:1 sawheet video 1,000 likes 👍👊💥
Hi there I've got a baja as1 5b just got it very excited at 44 yrs old lol when I put it on my stand and start the engine the wheels ain't turning when I press the throttle and when I put it on the floor it's like I have to press throttle all way in for the car to move do you no what would be wrong if you could help that would be great thanks
@@pi3ladbd417 it could be a few things, i have a couple questions first. Did you buy it new? 2. What oil gas mixture are you running? Also what brand of 2 stroke oil are you using? 3. What size engine is it a 27cc, 29cc, 30.5cc 36cc or 45cc? and brand of engine? Like i said could be a couple of things 1. Its running way to rich and when you run real rich it the performance ia really bad and somecases barely move the baja and you have to lean out your low speed needle first before your high speed needle on your carb. 2. Is your spark plug fowled? You may need a new spark plug. 3. Check ALL your motor mount bolts, myself ive had the top right bolt on your motor brace on the clutch carrier backed our into my brake pads causing to engage my brakes full time so when you give it full throttle the baja barely moves. Check on these and let me know what you find new brap brother if no luck i have more options it ckuld be but those are the commmon ones!👍
Thanks for getting bk to me I'm out at minute when I get bk I will look at mix and oil I'm using and get straight bk to you I'll be be about an hour thanks again for replying I'm exited someone has replied much appreciated

This is on hybrids video if you want to continue here thats fine but if you wanna go on my channel pick a video and write your comment ill get back to you there! Dont forget to subscribe to me if ya havnt lol i just dont want to muck up his notifications im sure he gets plenty already right Hybrid if your reading this?!😜👍
you got it man! Always trying to teach and entertain the RC masses, lol. I've been running mine too rich only because I'm an RC Exhaust ADDICT, I knew this was a matter of time thing. The more exhaust smoke the happier I am, lol. Time to run less oil and see how long the plug lasts.
I know right, that coil is nuts on this motor. good thing about that part tester is the spark gap is adjustable. I checked how far the spark will jump off camera and it was about 1 CM. Thats crazy. The redcat rampage spark is significantly worse from the coil, using the same tester.
Hi. My 1/5 scale was running fine then stoped and pulstart it's solid stuck, took it apart and manage to unsiezed it, got spark, and fuel, trouble is when try to start it sometimes pulls 20 times free no problem the out blue get siezed again.. Any ideas? Thanks 👍
I have been waiting since mid may for my baja I bought on banggood. The suspense is killing me. I cannot wait. That is super rich by the way...but lean is mean
hey bro! Major congrats on our baja purchase, the first time you see it the size and coolness of it will blow you away. I know that was the case for me. Yup, I like the nice rich smoke of a 2-stoke motor, I'm a smoke addict, what can I say, ahaha. I will be running leanner in the future, it's hard to quit smoking my dude!! LOL. Im here to help you out if you have any baja related issues btw.
hey buddy! thanks for watching, sorry for taking so long to respond. I've been running this baja with the new plug every day now, and it's doing well. Im convinced my rich fuel mixture probably killed the plug prematurely. But my problem is, I LIKE THAT SMOKE!!!!!! LOL.
thanks bro! I might not always run RCs in vids, but the tech and working on them aspect is very important too. Most guys just do bashing and running vids, and skip over the complicated stuff like fixing and working on them, making it seem like it's indestructible, you know. Well this is the reality, gotta check spark bro!!
If you clean the carbon off the plug with some emery cloth between the spark area, the plug will be good to use again. May save you some money until you get the fuel mixture right?
hey my dude! I thought of cleaning it as you suggested. It seems these plugs have resistors inside that just fail once in a while. The carbon buildup was not that much to make it not exhibited any spark at all, you know. But I will take your suggestion and attempt to see if it's cleanable for next time. Thank you!! Nitrogang!!!
hey man! You need to visually check if your plug is giving off enough spark first. Also good to troubleshoot with a new spare plug just to fully eliminate that situation. I've found 4 out of 5 times a bad plug is the reason for not starting. Then usually you carb is busted if you have spark, you need to clean the carb out. In my case even when I saw plenty of fuel in the primer bulb the motor was still not getting fuel, and my carb was busted, I had to replace it.
@@hybrid32494 Hey thanks for the reply I just bought the engine new 32cc it could be the carb but its brand new so i dont know it could be dirty? It ran for like half tank when i got it then stopped. and ill try a new plug but I can see spark when I pull the cord and put it on a metal surface
I also have a km baja t1000..one time i didnt have spark..new plug nothing..then sometimes i would have spark..found out the bolt holding the coil to block was loose which was causing it to not make the right gap to the flywheel
hey bro! YEs, that is also a relatively common problem, the coil itself not being correctly aligned. This is why I always tart out with the spark tester to see if the coil itself is sending spark, you know. Based on that, you can move onto the plug. Ive never had a coil issue so far, usually it's the plug.
Great video! Look like there's quite a lot of carbon deposite top of that piston. Maybe it's good to remove it when rebuilding engine. By the way, nice spark tool you have.
hey man! Thanks for watching. Yes, there is a good amount of carbon on the piston, you're right. It seems to not affect anything from what I can tell. Unless I have some severe need to rebuild the motor, I will just let it go. There is more risk in trying to clean it than just letting it run, you know.
I am late again! Sorry. Great video as always. I was going to ask...do the different exhaust pipes make much of a difference on those engines? Lol nice teef btw!
it's all about those TEEF bro!! And ye, the pipes make a huge difference in the power band and torque of the motor. This is a King Motors clone of a a Dominator style pipe, which is one of the best. There is pretty much nothing better than this style pipe, other than some side exhaust styles, but you're talking minimal gains here. Some people claim that a pipe when campared to a stock baffle/can type exhaust will give an engine one extra HP, which is possible id say.
hey buddy, thanks for watching. Some owners manual still say to break in a gas engine using non-synthetic oils because the break in period is shorter. The reality is it's just easier and better to just run the same oil you will run instead of changing. Everyone I know uses a good quality Synthetic racing oil, such as Klotz Benol, Castor 927, Redline, Dominator. I use Klotz Benol since it's cheap enough, mixes well, smells good and has a nice red tint.
Hey man just had a question, I recently bought a older model of the Traxxas nitro rustler and I need to change the control and receiver to a 2.4 GHz do you have any recommendations for which one to buy or can I just use a Redcat 2.4 ghz and receiver that I have laying around on this Traxxas model? Thank you
hey buddy! Generally your problem is the symptom of a bad carb, over time the diaphragm which is made of a rubber material just deteriorates inside the carb, and it will cause exactly the problem you're describing. The ethanol in modern fuels rots away and distort the rubber elements of the carb. I highly recommend you get a replacement carb.
Not sure if your even going to see this comment. I bought a King motor baja 30.5cc last fall. I am having trouble getting it started. So for example in your video your pull start is very smooth. Mine is not. It's almost like it's locked up and won't do anything. Any ideas?? I've had this thing for 9 months and haven't even gotten to play with it.
hey man! Trust me, I def see this comment, lol! OK it sounds like your motor is flooded or locked up, thats why you can't pull the starter easily. I recommend you remove the plug and then try to spin it over, it should be easy to pull it with the plug out. If it's flooded just turn it upside down and pull the starter a few times. Let me know how this goes, then we can continue to more troubleshooting steps.
Ok so I purchased one of those power starters off of ebay that you use a drill with. Still no luck in getting it started. I still feel like something is wrong with the engine. It doest roll over smoothly at all. It feels like it's sticking. So feel like I should change the plug and probably change the gas out, it's been sitting in the tank for awhile now. If you have any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.
hey dude, I've wanted to make a video like that for a long time now. My problem is I tend to speak too much about each RC, lol. That video would be an hour long ahah. I'll give it a shot though, keep it quick. Thanks for the idea though.
hey buddy! Yes, there is about a 75% chance the problem is due to a bad carb. I've replaced a couple carbs so far and all just deteriorate due to age and fuel containing ethanol. Generally the carb just does not flow fuel anymore to the motor. To check just pour a few drops directly into the plug hole and spin it, it should fire up for a couple seconds. Then it will shut off again, indicating you have a carb fuel flow problem. IN fact watch my other BAJA vids you will see me replacing the carb numerous times on all my older gas RCs. So far this has happened about 100% of the time.
hahaha, whats ups my dude!! anytime 'm working on them Baja's the jokes just come out, you know. ahaha. I been running this every day since this fix, I keep it in my trunk, I don't even take it home anymore. It's become my daily, LOL, just like the prius.
Hi does anyone no why my new baja as1 is not running properly put it on stand for first time and when engine is running the wheels don't turn and when I put it on the floor it's like I have to press the throttle on control all way for the car to move any help would be greatfull, you all stay safe
hey dude! Yes, there is some carbon buildup, I cannot deny that. But it's nothing drastic. I don't know what type of oils the previous owner used, but the Klotz Bennol I use in all my RCs have not created any carbon buildup from what I could tell.
hey my dude! That figures, it was never a big seller for some reason, although it's the coolest of the entire rampage series I think. I still got mine and will never sell it.
Boss of the Nitro Gang. Can't you just clean off the filiment so you will get a fresh clean connection again? By the looks of it the fuel has just caused an insulation between the 2 filiments that need to cause the spark so if you could get something to clean them off again and expose the metal as if it was new i am sure that spark plug could be used again. Just an idea to try and save you a few dolors!!! Bows
hey bro! You have a good idea, but in practice it almost never works. The fouled up plug can be internally damaged too, I figured cleaning it was pointless if it only lasted a gallon of fuel, I just need to lean my fuel mixture out some and run less oil, and keep observing the effects on plug life. BTW, I tried cleaning it off camera, and same results.
Hey hybrid32494 i've got 2 questions for you no1. what is your take on the durability, speed and handling on the nitro rtr rs4 3 drift dai yoshihara no.2 what mad you choose the name hybrid32494
hey bro! here are the answers LOL. Question 1) Did you see my multiple tuning vids on the HPI nitro Drift, it's great, I hit a top speed of 42 MPH and it drove great, drifted even better, watch the videos on my channel. Question 2) I liked the work "hybrid" ever since I heard my first Linking Park album called Hybrid Theory, then it became my email, then I bought a hybrid car, and here we are, lol. The 3/24 is my Birthday and the 94 is another significant number to me (cant tell anybody, it's a Nitrogang secret), ahahaha. But 94 was not the year I was born, btw.
@@hybrid32494 You are the most general ans nicest RUclipsr with people and you are also always replying to our question no other youtuber tells us this stuff( Nitrogang for life)people keep telling me to buy the traxxas XO1 anyways you should be on at least 100k subs by the end of the month
@@slaxzaka2238 really appreciate your support my dude! I treat the NitroGang just like my own best friends, you know. Anyway, I used to have an XO1 when it first came out years ago, I actually made a video about it here (check my channel). I was not very amazed by it, I really did not look forward to driving it, but the first gen model was impossible to unlock the 100MPH speed limit without a proper iPhone or iPod, which I did not have at the time. So it could just have been me. Personally ,I would not but a modern XO-1 anymore.
I always wonder if rc people were engine savvy enough to know to rebuild those 2 strokes after so many hrs. Or the engines or car dont make it to 80 hrs. Ive rebuild my engine a fue times now never had an issue
good idea bro!! thats why your first name is NITRO, last name MIKE!!! ahaha. I will stick this cam into the engine of my Lincoln LS V8, h0w about that for you?
You need to get rid of that air filter. Dust WILL pass through it. Get a 2 stage air filter and use air filter oil in the inner filter. Your engine will last much longer.
hey bro! Yes, you're 100% right. This was the original filter on the thing from the last owner, I never replaced it. I need a low profile filter that does not require any velocity stacks or BS like that. I was looking at the TGN low profile ones, but there is no info on whether they require any special velocity stack mountings, or can be used with the stock baja filter mounting bolts and all. What do you think?
Belive it or not the absolute best air filter you can get for the 5b is the original. Not specifically for air flow but for protection. A velocity stack can be added to the original with a mounting kit and would provide better flow because it eliminates the stock housing and has a bigger opening. As far as oil goes, you can use K&N air filter oil. I've been running in loose dirt for years and never had an issue.
Hey man let’s see if we can fix that did you confirm that you actually do have spark first do a visual check of the spark plug then attempt to just pour some fuel in through the plug hole and give it a start attemp. In almost all cases when mine did not start it was due to a faulty carb as soon as I replace the carb they fired right up
See I've only started mine twice and the third time I try to start my rovan it pulled twice and then the pool cord got stuck and I'm hoping the engine isn't stuck its brand new I made sure the engine was running Rich enough so obviously I didn't get it started for the third time and the pool cord is just stuck and not rotating the engine I'm hoping there's just debris inside of the fan blade or something getting ready to tear it apart now I ended up getting the full size 5B buggy with the 30.5 cc engine so obviously the engine is brand new it is barely out of break in. And obviously didn't get it started after two pools the pull cord is stuck it's not a broken pull start I think there's just something jammed in between it and the flywheel there should be no reason my engine would be stuck already
hey bro! I know all about those little nitro rcs. They are pretty cool, I want one also btw. I used to have a real HPI nitro mini years ago, I loved the micro nitro scene, so fun to run around. Just don't bash it too much, but I'm sure you'll like it.
hey bro! unfortunately a cleaning would not have restored that plug, it goes way beyond an exterior cleaning. There is a filament of some type inside the plug that is no longer conducting electricity for whatever reason, simply cleaning the electrode would not have helped, I've tried previously. This plug was just dead, it had no spark at all.
hahaa, hey dude! This would be the first time ever, that you don't have a good detailed comment. I guess you fully approve and have not found any mistakes, LOL. is that right??
hybrid32494 I think I heard you say a double negative I would have to rewatch it So you think it’s the carburetor that’s not letting it start or was it the spark plug that was fouled out
@@nomusicrc it turns out if was the spark plug. At first I replaced the carb prior to this video, and it ran fine. Then about half a gallon in the plug didn't provide any spark.
hey buddy, I have never heard of that before, you must have other on-going issues. Always, are you sure your CHOKE is off and your carb needles are set to factory settings?

bro, get a good quality TX/RX. futaba 3PV. you'll thank me in the long run.
just tried firing up my baja after a few years of sitting and it will start but as soon as i turn choke off it dies...any ideas?
hey buddy! Generally your problem is the symptom of a bad carb, over time the diaphragm which is made of a rubber material just deteriorates inside the carb, and it will cause exactly the problem you're describing. The ethanol in modern fuels rots away and distort the rubber elements of the carb. I highly recommend you get a replacement carb.
@@hybrid32494 yah youre probably right, luckily i think i have a spare one floating around here. Thx.
I just bought one of these put it wants to move when I try to start it
Is it possible, that you could make a video where you explain how to fine tune the carb on the HBI/Rovan? :)
Not sure if your even going to see this comment. I bought a King motor baja 30.5cc last fall. I am having trouble getting it started. So for example in your video your pull start is very smooth. Mine is not. It's almost like it's locked up and won't do anything. Any ideas?? I've had this thing for 9 months and haven't even gotten to play with it.
hey man! Trust me, I def see this comment, lol! OK it sounds like your motor is flooded or locked up, thats why you can't pull the starter easily. I recommend you remove the plug and then try to spin it over, it should be easy to pull it with the plug out. If it's flooded just turn it upside down and pull the starter a few times. Let me know how this goes, then we can continue to more troubleshooting steps.
@@hybrid32494 ok I'll try it and see what happens. Thanks for the quick response.
Ok so I purchased one of those power starters off of ebay that you use a drill with. Still no luck in getting it started. I still feel like something is wrong with the engine. It doest roll over smoothly at all. It feels like it's sticking. So feel like I should change the plug and probably change the gas out, it's been sitting in the tank for awhile now. If you have any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.
Good bro
Hey would you do a tour of your nitro rc collection for the nitro gang!
hey dude, I've wanted to make a video like that for a long time now. My problem is I tend to speak too much about each RC, lol. That video would be an hour long ahah. I'll give it a shot though, keep it quick. Thanks for the idea though.
@@hybrid32494 maybe make it into a multiple parts.
Cud there be another reason why it wont start, even if you have replace the sparkplug. Kill switch????
hey buddy! Yes, there is about a 75% chance the problem is due to a bad carb. I've replaced a couple carbs so far and all just deteriorate due to age and fuel containing ethanol. Generally the carb just does not flow fuel anymore to the motor. To check just pour a few drops directly into the plug hole and spin it, it should fire up for a couple seconds. Then it will shut off again, indicating you have a carb fuel flow problem. IN fact watch my other BAJA vids you will see me replacing the carb numerous times on all my older gas RCs. So far this has happened about 100% of the time.
Ahhhh lol im dieing brother that joke was hilariously funny!
hahaha, whats ups my dude!! anytime 'm working on them Baja's the jokes just come out, you know. ahaha. I been running this every day since this fix, I keep it in my trunk, I don't even take it home anymore. It's become my daily, LOL, just like the prius.
Hi does anyone no why my new baja as1 is not running properly put it on stand for first time and when engine is running the wheels don't turn and when I put it on the floor it's like I have to press the throttle on control all way for the car to move any help would be greatfull, you all stay safe
Hey Hybrid, that’s probably carbon build up the black stuff on the piston right ? Gasoline gang ⛽️ 💪💪
hey dude! Yes, there is some carbon buildup, I cannot deny that. But it's nothing drastic. I don't know what type of oils the previous owner used, but the Klotz Bennol I use in all my RCs have not created any carbon buildup from what I could tell.
2 stroke gang!!
The redcat Rampage Rally XR is being discontinued
hey my dude! That figures, it was never a big seller for some reason, although it's the coolest of the entire rampage series I think. I still got mine and will never sell it.
Boss of the Nitro Gang. Can't you just clean off the filiment so you will get a fresh clean connection again? By the looks of it the fuel has just caused an insulation between the 2 filiments that need to cause the spark so if you could get something to clean them off again and expose the metal as if it was new i am sure that spark plug could be used again. Just an idea to try and save you a few dolors!!! Bows
hey bro! You have a good idea, but in practice it almost never works. The fouled up plug can be internally damaged too, I figured cleaning it was pointless if it only lasted a gallon of fuel, I just need to lean my fuel mixture out some and run less oil, and keep observing the effects on plug life. BTW, I tried cleaning it off camera, and same results.
@@hybrid32494 Yeah i agree Nitro Gang Boss. But just incase there was the odd chance it might be worth a try? Appreciate the reply!!! Bows!!!
Hey hybrid32494 i've got 2 questions for you no1. what is your take on the durability, speed and handling on the nitro rtr rs4 3 drift dai yoshihara no.2 what mad you choose the name hybrid32494
hey bro! here are the answers LOL. Question 1) Did you see my multiple tuning vids on the HPI nitro Drift, it's great, I hit a top speed of 42 MPH and it drove great, drifted even better, watch the videos on my channel. Question 2) I liked the work "hybrid" ever since I heard my first Linking Park album called Hybrid Theory, then it became my email, then I bought a hybrid car, and here we are, lol. The 3/24 is my Birthday and the 94 is another significant number to me (cant tell anybody, it's a Nitrogang secret), ahahaha. But 94 was not the year I was born, btw.
@@hybrid32494 You are the most general ans nicest RUclipsr with people and you are also always replying to our question no other youtuber tells us this stuff( Nitrogang for life)people keep telling me to buy the traxxas XO1 anyways you should be on at least 100k subs by the end of the month
@@slaxzaka2238 really appreciate your support my dude! I treat the NitroGang just like my own best friends, you know. Anyway, I used to have an XO1 when it first came out years ago, I actually made a video about it here (check my channel). I was not very amazed by it, I really did not look forward to driving it, but the first gen model was impossible to unlock the 100MPH speed limit without a proper iPhone or iPod, which I did not have at the time. So it could just have been me. Personally ,I would not but a modern XO-1 anymore.
Thanks for your reply i think it's best just to stick to Nitro:) ayy nitro gang for life
What’s the number on the plug?
hey buddy! All these 1/5 gas engines use the same NGK CMR7H plug, you could get it the cheapest at any auto store.
What engine do i see there is that a rcmk
hey!! Yes, that's right. It's an RCMK, I love that motor. Although the overall performance feels about the same as a 30CC rovan, honestly.
@@hybrid32494 what rcmk engine is it im ruining the cr300 thats rated at 5.8 hp and that rips in my baja. Happy brapping buddy
I always wonder if rc people were engine savvy enough to know to rebuild those 2 strokes after so many hrs. Or the engines or car dont make it to 80 hrs. Ive rebuild my engine a fue times now never had an issue
put that camera in a full scale car engine!
good idea bro!! thats why your first name is NITRO, last name MIKE!!! ahaha. I will stick this cam into the engine of my Lincoln LS V8, h0w about that for you?
You need to get rid of that air filter. Dust WILL pass through it. Get a 2 stage air filter and use air filter oil in the inner filter. Your engine will last much longer.
hey bro! Yes, you're 100% right. This was the original filter on the thing from the last owner, I never replaced it. I need a low profile filter that does not require any velocity stacks or BS like that. I was looking at the TGN low profile ones, but there is no info on whether they require any special velocity stack mountings, or can be used with the stock baja filter mounting bolts and all. What do you think?
Belive it or not the absolute best air filter you can get for the 5b is the original. Not specifically for air flow but for protection. A velocity stack can be added to the original with a mounting kit and would provide better flow because it eliminates the stock housing and has a bigger opening. As far as oil goes, you can use K&N air filter oil. I've been running in loose dirt for years and never had an issue.
Also heres my custom 5b if you are interested in seeing. photos.app.goo.gl/vUwkgarCBrNoEgh66
I still cant get my redcat rampage mt started
Hey man let’s see if we can fix that did you confirm that you actually do have spark first do a visual check of the spark plug then attempt to just pour some fuel in through the plug hole and give it a start attemp. In almost all cases when mine did not start it was due to a faulty carb as soon as I replace the carb they fired right up
im going to replace the carb its 10 years old
See I've only started mine twice and the third time I try to start my rovan it pulled twice and then the pool cord got stuck and I'm hoping the engine isn't stuck its brand new I made sure the engine was running Rich enough so obviously I didn't get it started for the third time and the pool cord is just stuck and not rotating the engine I'm hoping there's just debris inside of the fan blade or something getting ready to tear it apart now I ended up getting the full size 5B buggy with the 30.5 cc engine so obviously the engine is brand new it is barely out of break in. And obviously didn't get it started after two pools the pull cord is stuck it's not a broken pull start I think there's just something jammed in between it and the flywheel there should be no reason my engine would be stuck already
i just wanted some response from a nitrogeek, i oredered a nb16 nitro just wanted to know what u reckon
hey bro! I know all about those little nitro rcs. They are pretty cool, I want one also btw. I used to have a real HPI nitro mini years ago, I loved the micro nitro scene, so fun to run around. Just don't bash it too much, but I'm sure you'll like it.
@@hybrid32494 thanks dude, why not bash it to much?
@@ryze7810 only because parts support might not be fantastic, but just feel it out, you know.
Couldnt you just clean the old Spark plug?
hey bro! unfortunately a cleaning would not have restored that plug, it goes way beyond an exterior cleaning. There is a filament of some type inside the plug that is no longer conducting electricity for whatever reason, simply cleaning the electrode would not have helped, I've tried previously. This plug was just dead, it had no spark at all.
@@hybrid32494 That sucks dude
Hybrid32494 posts, I quit what I am doing and watch, I am a simpleton
Redcat rick does the same, all the reacts are broken anyway, I got nothing to do!! ahaha.
Blow Some compressed air on it take apart the carb make sure you’re getting fuel
Dont forget compression
First son !
Need help ,please...
No comment
hahaa, hey dude! This would be the first time ever, that you don't have a good detailed comment. I guess you fully approve and have not found any mistakes, LOL. is that right??
hybrid32494 I think I heard you say a double negative I would have to rewatch it
So you think it’s the carburetor that’s not letting it start or was it the spark plug that was fouled out
@@nomusicrc it turns out if was the spark plug. At first I replaced the carb prior to this video, and it ran fine. Then about half a gallon in the plug didn't provide any spark.
My baja floods on the very first pull
hey buddy, I have never heard of that before, you must have other on-going issues. Always, are you sure your CHOKE is off and your carb needles are set to factory settings?
It doesn't have a choke
"stranded" and my shit won't start. Fucking hreat
