Starting Nitro Engines in the winter can be a little tricky, especially if using a pull start and standard igniter. In this video I talk about and demonstrate a few key tips to making things easier and ensuring you have a successful and enjoyable bashing outing!

Gone but not forgotten! Literally one of the best nitro rc RUclips channels out there. Thank you for all that you did for our sport👊🏾take care and God bless 🙏🏾
I always heat mine with either a heat gun at home or 12v hair dryer while out. Less stress on engine and frustration for you.
Great idea :)
@@TheRCBiker got a quick question on nitro, is there an easy way to tell if a nitro car is too hot to run? Like do they go boggy when on full stick? After a few passes or would it be something else?
@@N1ghtmare2014 what I do bro is touch the head of the engine if you can't keep your hand on it for more than a few seconds or if it burns I kill the engine and let it cool for a bit.
@@N1ghtmare2014 Put a drop of water onto the cylinder head. If it sizzles away quickly (like putting water into a hot frying pan) then it's too hot :)
I just ordered a nitro car and your videos helps me out great videos ✅
I just bought a 12V engine heater/blanket. The cheap and cheerful FlySky one 😄 Our Australian winters don’t get quite that cold (maybe at night) but I think it’s good to make an engines life as easy as possible. I think it will be especially useful for break ins. Can use a 3S lipo for field use 😀😎
Certainly makes your life easier when starting it! :D
Hi i am back but just wanted to say thank you very much for these tutorials they have been a big help and ever since I’ve been watching your videos you’ve inspired me of doing a new hobby and my dream came true and I got one and the car has been running smoothly because of you keep the good work up 👍
Glad I could help!
hello friend! on my channel there is a video where I start the engine in -20. the point of the video is that I took the model outside and left it in the cold. then I started the engine with the help of heating.
Thanks for watching
You deserve some credit. You have helped me tune, run, fix my nitro car. Thanks a LOT. Keep it up :)
Thanks, will do!
Good morning love the vids man
Thanks for watching! :)
Awesome tips thanks
Thanks for watching! :)
I couldn't get my carnage nt started for over a year there. Then I got a drill start recently and heated the engine with a hairdryer until she was piping hot and she started up. The drill start definitely made the difference as I was able to turn the engine over much more easier and I could really notice the difference by heating the engine up. 2 top tips I reckon 😉
Heating these up make starting so much easier :)
I heat my carnage with a heat gun. Pull start works within 3 goes every time. Heat guns are a god send in the winter
Engine heater on a battery when you are driving to the bashing site if not to far away that's what I do works a treat
its funny how the force 36 engine was a nightmare for me as well.
When i got it new and had to break it in, my hands developed blisters you would get disgusted by lol
i did get through the break in procedure by using the pull start. so big + to force because they just don't break, at least on me.
but i hated it (at that time) after roughly 8-10 tanks breaking in, doing the a mixture of your tips, Adam drake tips and other youtuber tips.
now all it needs is pre-heat 1 pull start or few pulls on cold start.
its very sad that you are not macking more rc nitro video merci
Josh If you find you need room & sell any of your planes please do let me know. BTW the Hump pack & Power supply on your wish list are not in stock.
Amazon & leisureshopdirect both sell 12v Hair Dryers if anyone needs one. Cheaper than the head heater blanket, and you can direct the heat better IMO.
Trouble with selling planes is they are almost impossible to send via courier!
Years ago when we was both younger, the NB16/HiMoto stuff & onwards. I was living close to you at the time, I know the bashing areas. But anyway I moved some years ago now & I can't see any one of us using a motor bike to move a RC plane, I've tried it don't go well. I don't drive cars any-more, Just Nitro RC & motorbike, due to car accident, I Wont! get in one. Feel safer on a bike. There is lots of good couriers that do ship them door to door.
Great video Josh I use a engine heater glad I invested in one works great 👍
Makes life so much easier
Yo I never realised you made a new account I thought you went quiet 🤣 Been watching your vids for years man cracking job 👍 through all your channels the content is great I remember anything I needed to know on my cars when I was a young teen i would watch your vids for hours 🤘
It's the same account just renamed it :)
@@TheRCBiker Oh fair enough mate keep up the good work 🤘
I've the r36 had it 7 years still like new 👍
Old
Thanks for the video mate...!!! Stay safe
Thanks for watching! :)
You can also leave the car is the passenger footwell and turn the car heat on so it blows down over the car as you drive to the bash area. It probably not the best, but 20c is much better than 10c or lower
Yeah I remember doing that years ago!
So would be willing to call in to a Podcast re: Nitro RC? I inquired with you once (almost a decade ago when you were 'JT' or something). You said to get with your assistant or something like that, and I just moved on.
But I see you are back again. Third time is a charm, let's hope. Essentially would like to talk with you about your come up, as to be candid, your nitro rc knowledge is limited compared with others on the podcast, but you were definitely among the first to be sponsored as a RUclipsr and would like to talk about your experiences in that. (FWIW
I was never a spokesperson... Just someone who had fun with RC at the weekends. Yes I was sent stuff for free, and I still am. I have a full time job so whether I continue to get sent things or not is no skin off my nose.
I reply to as many comments as I can, and I have an active facebook page where I reply daily to messages . If I'm missing any questions, please feel free to enlighten me?!
I'm afraid with such a pre-empted inaccurate impression of me it doesn't sound suitable at the moment.
Yip blow heater is good I use to have engine warmers they slip over the engine and switch it on and it heats up but this was is effective also
Yes I've seen those heaters. Trouble is they use LiPos and for a nitro beginner that means buying balance chargers etc. So I didn't suggest it :)
@@TheRCBiker yea that’s no problem the blow heater is very effective
You can buy a head warmer that works on 3s or 4s lipo, great for pre-heating your nitros out in the field or on a track with no electricity
Yes I have seen those :)
Do all the things on his channel also apply to petrol cars
I just tried to start up my HPI Savage X in the cold, it felt like it was going to start up but the engine span forever with no fire up, I suspect that my nitro fuel passed out as I had a bit of it left in the bottle for ages. Igniter glow plug pressure all good, no blockage on engine inlets either. Oh well next time I’ll try with fresh fuel ⛽️ and empty the current fuel as I know that’s going to cause a serious gunk up in the engine internals
Yes sounds like fuel could be the culprit
I just use the engine heater with a 3s battery
Hi i got the kyosho neo 3.0 car and i Got massive pullstart problem i cleaned the one way bearing 3 times and it keeps slipping the pullstart
Have you tried replacing the OWB? :)
Is it common to use transmitter trim to open the carb slightly wider just to start car?
Yes
either
Hi their. My son has a kyosho neo 3.0 its almost brand new and I cannot get it started even if I heat the engine up. Could u please help me with the needle settings as I think this is the problem.and I'm new to this stuff. I would really like my boy to use his car but sadly I don't know how
Hi, the default settings are in your user manual. If it's not starting the glow plug could be the culprit
Force .36...... top I have .21 .28 and .32
Force are good engines!
Hi. I watched your videos for years and did this hobby more consciously and with pleasure. I had children, things got busy, there was no time, hyper7 was shelved. I was enthusiastic about your return and pulled out the car. But unfortunately, the paypal agreement with my country is now over. I cannot order from ebay. I wonder if there are equivalent parts of Hyper 7 on Aliexpress? Can you guide me?
I don't think Aliexpress will have Hyper 7 parts
@@TheRCBiker thank you
I am considering a Ryobi cordless heat gun for out and about
That's a good idea.
Please do a bashing vid on this. Looking to get one 😂
Already done one months ago
@@TheRCBiker sorry buddy I see that now 🤦♂️ how does it compare to the hobao stuff. Completely new to nitro so don’t really know what to look for. Just been binge watching all your vids 😂 The shop I go to for my rc stuff swears by the kyosho neo. But I can’t help but think the Mac .28 and .30 turbo are faster engines then the kyoshos .21 what’s your thoughts on this thanks in advance
hey man! can we used torch gun for heating the engine?
Do you mean a gas flame type one? I mean you could... but you'd have to be careful of the things around it (carb, pullstart, electronics etc).
@@TheRCBiker thanks man..yeah ill try..i was afraid to use it, because of the fuel..or maybe heat with the flame gun first before putitng the fuel..
Very helpful video and thankw
Thanks for watching! :)
Wow you are all grown up now, man do I feel old! Did you ever fix the engine on that DBX 2.0 by the way?
Yes, the video is on here of rebuilding it
@@TheRCBiker Thanks will check out!
Hey buddy you do very good job with your videos... Can I ask if it's OK to use 16% nitro fuel in a big block engine?
It is , but you won't really get the best out of it in terms of performance
@@TheRCBiker thanks for the quick response. But in Germany they stop the 25%nitro now they only have the 16%.
Hello. I have a nitro buggy with a vertex engine. I have watched your tutorials but i cant figure it out. Im trying to tune the LSN. When i pinch the fuel line(with the engine to operating temp) it takes 2 secs to quit. Though i dont think its running lean because if i richen it out it has the symptoms of very rich( btw i am running it pretty rich on purpose).Also, when oil (not raw fuel) comes out of the exhaust pipe(when the engine is running) what does that mean? I would greatly appreciate your help :)
Oil coming out of the exhaust is normal with Nitros
Tune it according to how it's running, the pinch test is just a rough guide
@@TheRCBiker Thanks that's what i needed :)
hows the ftx carnage nt doing?
I got rid of that one years ago :) I've got the Torro though which is doing good.
do you ever consider getting a traxxas nitro
I don't have a Carnage, I've got a Torro :)
@@TheRCBiker you used to have one didnt you
i used a gas torch to heat up engine
That'll do the trick!
Napalm
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching! :)
Anssman engines are so bloody loud!
Ansmann Engines are just Force Engines, and Force make HPI engines! So really they're all the same engines. I think it's just the exhaust setups that make them louder
It's a tiny race car, needs a preheating before running like an F1 car!
True!
First!
Thanks Sam!
