When Nitro engines are new they can often be very tight. Whilst this is perfectly normal, it can make starting them difficult especially with pull starters. In this video I show you a few techniques to use in order to get the engine to start easier.
My Bike/s: Kawasaki Z1000SX
MORNING ALL! Hope everyone is well and has a fun weekend planned consisting of lots of things RC. Here's a tutorial on how to start a very new Nitro engine that is getting stuck at TDC (Top Dead Centre). Let me know what methods of starting a new engine you guys use down below!
I had 1 Mach 28 that had so little compression that I could pull the pullstart with my teeth, and another Mach 28 that had so much compression I seriously considered cutting holes in the combustion chamber
I had a Picco .26 in a hyper 7 that was like that. It was a long time ago and I didnt have a heat gun. Many hours later I finally got 1/2 tank through it before it was stuck again. Good times.
I missed nitro cars,,, nice video bro
Thanks! More coming ;)
Awesome - the heating tip I never though of. I have 2 engines I was never able to start because they are so hard to turn over - will give it a try. Thanks!
I've come to really enjoy your videos! I have an old ECX Revenge type N that I love dearly. I hadn't taken it out in years your videos were great for getting back into the RC and nitro RC hobby. The old girl still runs fantastic.
Great to hear :) Thanks for watching
Iv found your videos entertaining and informative. Keep em coming. Im from the USA so the european accent is a nice reminder that we all have the same love for our hobby.
Awesome, glad you like them :)
I’ve always used the slacken the glow plug trick 👍
yes it works well. Just got to tighten it again once started!
ive just bought the 1/8th Inferno neo3.0 Nitro , is this a hard engine to start first time as it does seem hard to pull the pullstarter off course without any fuel it probably not a good idea to be pulling on it without any lubrication i suppose but just wondering is there any special ways to go about it and im not sure but i've seen a video on running in the engine i might check out if you have any others on first starts on this particular model as i haven't had a inferno for around 20 years, cheers from Australia.
He has specific Neo video's which helped me with my choice amd expectations. I'm gonna get one as my 4th, first 4wd. Can't wait!
Hi Andrew! I didn't find the Inferno particularly difficult over any other engine, I do have a first start video on the Neo 3.0 on the channel uploaded a few months ago.
Love you videos mate u taght me so much I went baught a t max 3.3 yesterday very very happy with it
Helpful video! I used the loosening technique for my newly rebuilt nitro rustler
Glad it helped!
Thank you i have this problem all of a sudden after breaking in the engine.
very weird it's a dynamite nitro engine .32 in a boat
10 years old but brand new :)
but i can do this at home with the heatgun but what if i have this problem when i am at the water ?
the engine won't start if i loosen the glow plug :(
Once it's broken in it should start easier
How do keep engine running when dose after 50 minutes then engine hot dies it's it idel or high or low screw thanks
I nearly bricked my pullstart trying to break in a flooded engine XD
Yup, that's why pullstarts snap usually!
Good Idea RCBiker 👍
Thanks for tuning in :)
Get a starter box, and everything will be much easier 😁😁
So true... But I got no choice I use box start motors on my tekno nt48.3
So much crap to carry and more batteries to charge. Pull start is way simpler and easier.
Lawrence Timme ... totally agree with that. I’ve never had a problem with pull start in 15 years. Tip is don’t pull it out all the way just short fast pulls 👍
I don't like starter boxes
Lawrence and Sooo Low have summed it up pretty well!
@@LawrenceTimme but some of us who race have to use box start because wee can't sit there pulling the thing to start 🤣
Very helpful once more, good job! 👍🏻
Thanks for tuning in :)
all us nitroheads... can't thank you enough....!!!!
Thank you! :)
Hey j nice video very informative lots of good tips and like to say nice buggy. I have the same one running a dynamite .21 its been a great buggy had about 4 yrs now got a great deal on it for 150 on craigslist and it had the mac star but it was no good so i put a .21 in it and it screams now. Well take it easy bro and keep up the good work.
Awesome stuff :) thanks for watching
My rc 1/10 scail nitro truggy. Drive shaft locks up cant move the car I don't know why I have lossen the break pads still locking up I checked the back diff and front. Diff even the spur gear don't see anything wrong got any ideas what it is
thanks mate i did not do it already, (i first will try tomorrow to put a tape on the pullstarter axis, and rotate it with a accu drill trying to run it in with some oil already without the glow plug, if this works i will let you know too), but i have exactly this with a force engine .32 today, not starting and breaking the pullstart cable and almost ready to trow the car against the wall..
Yes the FORCE engines are the worst! They're great engines but a pain when new
Just what I needed. THANK YOU!! 🤩
you're welcome ;)
Force .38 was a challange for me.
Yes! The Force 36 in my ansmann terrier was a nightmare!
Nice buggy, I have a similar one called backwash
Awesome! :)
always heat that head up to 220 back off the glow plug about a thread or 2 when started lock it down makes life easy i have a youtube channel showing many vids on high end engines showing the process
So basically what I did here then? :)
@@TheRCBiker u could say that but before you heated the engine u went pulling on the recoul turning the motor over u should never do that very bad for a new nitro engine unless it was already broke in u using it for a training to u should tell people that many of us been in this hobby over 20 plus years and there is a right and wrong way of doing stuff not a bad vid ya did but ive seen alot better
The hobby is supposed to be fun, keep it that way ;)
@@TheRCBiker be fun and smart so the rc doent wear out its all good
Great video dude
Appreciate it!
Please do some more videos on brushless RC Cars
Will do! I did upload a few weeks ago the Brushless one from Banggood ;)
Ok. Im forget. Thx info broooo
Thanks for tuning in
Great advice, I have not long bought the hyper sst nitro, it still needs breaking in, would adding a few drops of 3 in 1 oil help on the first start to lube the engine? Cheers for the vids 👍👍
Yes 3 in 1, or a few drops of after run oil
Can you mention the name and type of the tempmeter you use? I found my IR tempgun has a lot of varations in the reading, is relatively expensive (especially if i upgrade), and it reflects on oily residue.
Thanx for another informative vid!
Edit; Goodmorning to you too 😊
Hi there, I find the same with my temperature gun. I have stopped using it, I only use it occasionally but the readings have to be taken with a pinch of salt for the reasons you list. To answer your question I can't remember where I got it from but I think it was Amazon :)
@@TheRCBiker Ok, ill see if i can find it!
"good info" i just bought a new .28 force, and a .28 dynamite. that i'll be putting in two of my vehicles that, i'm repowering this spring.
have fun :)
Hi! A got my nitro rc car today and it was hard to pull it so a startedit first time did 3 tank of fuel but after a let it cooldown 5 min it woudent start!?a dont now why
Check glow plug
What if i dont want to buy a heat gun
Use a hair dryer
@@TheRCBikeryes i used that and i am surprised it actually works but the cars running fine now i had a problem dealing with a tight engine and compression to the point i couldnt pull the starter but im on stage 3 break in just doing straight lines half throttle
Will you purchase me a new nitro truck 😂
Take glow plug out spray good bit of wd40 into the engine glow plug hole and then heat up with a hair dryer and pull pull start
Great tip! :)
Yes, mine put drops of after run oil.
never use wd40 use 3 in 1 oil or marvel mystery oil much better lubrication for a nitro engine
Nitro Freak
Gonna be honest with u mate there’s no difference there only toy rc cars anyway
@@Martybrown-kc4xg there actualy is a big difference wd 40 doesnt lube it disapates moisterture they may be toy cars if your using low grade engines allot of us have 700 dollar os motors so we tend to take it a little seriouse lol

It looks like nitro RC's are dying.
I know, it's sad :(
They won't be dying in my garage though! ;)
Nitro will never die
As long as we still have nitro fuel it’s all goood
