What size is the carb on that engine I have a os.15cv pull rope engine with a 10e carb is that the right carb that goes on it I have the purple cooling head.
I got a 2.5 that was stored for 4+yrs. It had been ran with top fuel. The irony is that I used top fuel to remove the gum. It works faster then DW but then once clean I rinse it out with DW wipe it and oil it. Now it’s so smooth and ready for some Bones fuel.
Nitro fuel removes Nitro fuel better WD40 sucks at basically every but removal of water. If something like denatured alcohol or non chlorinated brake parts cleaner is much better to use and then use a proper oil afterwards
How fortuitous that you made this video. I got a Max 15cv-x from 2005 that came “free” in a box ‘o stuff from an older gentleman, getting rid of his Son’s nitro stuff. Total I have four rolling, complete chassis, five complete engines, about 40 wheels/rims sets. 20 off-road truck style and 20 street-car style. 9 glo-start starters and a box of 12 glo-plugs.
@@thebug4046 Glad ya asked! I haven’t had time to go through the stuff yet, on the weekend I’ll inventory and try to identify the specific models and chassis.
Great video, i have a question ? Do you know where i can purchase a carb replacement New or Second hand for my OS Max CV.18? Or is there a alternative carb that i can put on? Any help much appreciated
The 18cvr is a pain in the ass for aftermarket carbs almost nothing fits you gotta order the rebuild parts or a new one unfortunately. I haven't found anything to fit it yet
@@alexs15scalerc36 try and search eBay with part number or the OS website or get into the rc groups on Facebook and see if someone has a complete good condition carburetor
Hey buddy what’s a good spray cleaner for something like on road nitro engines(foam tires gets everything the dirtiest) ??? I’m looking for something that won’t harm the ceramic bearing I have. I have over 40 nitro engines in my collection and will soon add to my channel as well.
Non chlorinated brake parts cleaner. Clean the outside before the inside then clean and clean some more then oil everything before putting it back together
I have an O.S max with a dark grey almost black head in the mail from Asia. I can't find anything online with a grey head? Any idea? Can't remember the size of the engine its part of a Ebay deal.., The engine is installed on a vintage nitro stadium truck. Thanks
About 1992 more than likely. You might be able to find a few parts on eBay for it. OS 7 glow plug and a good quality fuel buy it with 8% oil and add klotz Benol castor oil to 13% by volume will make the piston and sleeve last longer and heap with piston seal
Basically everyone stopped making 1/10 engines because ⅛ is better so they say. And the original CV engines all tho they ran good were actually kinda a shitty engine only a 2 port design and and soft nickel plating on the sleeve they could have done much better. The CVR was the new upgrade model with an actual 3 port sleeve better timing numbers and a chrome plated sleeve and a much better piston design
@@thebug4046 oh ok good information well the OS .21 TM will be around for along time then. That my favorite from them. I see those in Just about every Tmaxx and Revo buggy as well. Very popular Engine.
OS is usually always great as long as you avoid the old ABN sleeve engine as they didn't last long sadly. And Dynamite is made by SH very interchangeable and always good quality
@@thebug4046 it is that Dynamite Mach 2 .19T is going into a Jato soon comes in stock at Amain. It way better built then the 3.3 i used to think the 3.3 was a good engine but after break not even the gallon the bearing went. Replaced with Avid ceramics. And put in a OS 11K at that point i realized should just got OS from the start.
I have a question, in the vid you said they also made a blue head 15,and that it was very rare, did you mean the .12? I thought the .15 was always a blue head(well mostly anyways
Pinch the fuel line. Run it out of fuel till it won't start at all that's the best way. It doesn't If hurt anything when you do that you don't want fuel sitting in your engine because that's how it gets corrosive and varnishes the inside of your engine
@@thebug4046 okay that’s what I always thought too but recently heard to plug the pipe cause you don’t want it to go lean I was like hmmm I don’t think it matters going lean at idle for 3 seconds..
@@evanmeneilley3228 Be careful what you believe because there's a lot of false information out there and like I said when you plug the exhaust you flood the engine with extra fuel which will sit in the bottom of your engine make it very difficult to start next time make it hydrologue as well as attract moisture and rust the inside of your engine running amount of fuel does not hurt them at all there is 12.8 oz of oil per gallon there's more there than he realized the fuel will burn away the oil will not That's how control line engines work when they are running at 20000 rpm continuous in the air until they run out a fuel thousands of times.
It's not worth it. Take a really long time and often a few that don't turn out quite right before you get a good one. And the amount of If supplies that you go through just to make one I wouldn't have been $200 each. And yes the 12cv and 15 cv rod is the same you can even use a Traxxas pro 15 rod if you can't get anything else
I always loved the look of those O.S heads
Me to!
I really like your friend channel a hug here from Brazil😊
Thanks for watchin!
Great to see you're videos, as I love your style! Also great to know I'm not the only one who burns fingers replacing crank bearings!
Right on man! Thanks for watchin!
Just got one of these a month ago with a Losi XXXNT. It was stuck from being gummed up. All cleaned up and spins smoothly. Just needs a resize.
Nice

I wish OS still made the CV i used to see those in Early RC10GT models. Idk why they stopped making the O.S CV engine meh guess it was to small maybe.

Are u still making rods? I would gladly pay you for a rod for a cv x 12. I imagine it's the same as that 15.
