Hi, new here at your channel. YT suggested your videos because of nitro content :) I'm also a novice in nitro, but already had and sold couple. For my limited knowledge 8:37 was too rich. Very slow launch an excessive smoke. Lean it and if necessary adjust idle gap. Nitro is really nimble if you tune it right. If you chase the low speed tune and never get ir right it might be due to RTR motor. More then often they have budget bearing that leak air, or have some air leaks in carburetor. Racers say that RTRs are hard to tune due to budget price. I believe those words have some weight because known brand stand alone motor costs almost as the roller chassis ir self. And I had one second hand HB 8series buggy that was fitted with race grade engine. That engine had one season of races with the first owner. That engine was a dream, despite it was heavily used during the season. Keep on the nitro content :)
Eyyyy man welcome to the party. Yes sir brand new to nitro so gots tons to learn. In this video I really didn't touch the LSN at all but since I've gotten it to be waaay snappier. I do believe you are correct about the RTR motors because I'm basically constantly retuning because it just seems like it either idles way too high, spews a ton of smoke or bogs and shuts off. Either way I'm having a ton of fun man and the motor has alot of power. Really appreciate the advice because I'll definitely need it. 👊🏾
Lean the low 10 to 15 minutes and richen the high 5 to 10 minutes. Always start rich and lean out. Chewbacca = lean, lots of smoke and bog/stumble = rich, and make sure idle gap is set properly. On 30% you must richen quite a bit. Start with 1/2 turn (30mins) for the high, and 15min on the low. Tune from there. Good luck 👍 also starter box is the way to go for starting a nitro engine.
LOL they can definitely be a pain if you cant get it working right. But when you do and it gets to singing its very rewarding. Its one way to really test to see how much patience you got. Thanks for watching
When I had my first child all 6 nitros went up on ebay. I stayed with my modified hpi baja 5b ss. Got ride of that after my second spine surgery. 38 lbs was just too much then to start it and work on it was to much. 6 soon to be 7 brushless rc trucks now.
Its quite a bit of work man, I enjoy the process when I have the time to spend on working things out. Otherwise I'll be grabbing one of my brushless cars
Electric are great but you have to condition the batteries and keep them wt storage when not in use if you don't they won't last. Nitro charge your receiver pack when your done wipe over the car stick in after run done. Nitro is best more run time and sounds epic great video 👍
Think it's similar efforts to keep your Nitro and electric in good condition. Since with nitro you also have to put in after run to keep the engine lubricated. Definitely agree kn the run time, proper tune and correct fuel and man those things run suuuper long. Thanks for the input 👊🏾
The answer is both 😂. I find it depends how into the hobby you are. If you just want to drive then go electric but if you like to tinker then go with nitro. Great videos.
Oh yea for sure. Im getting to understand the frustration right now. when i want to just get up and run it, i have a whole process before i can run the nitro
Nice video! Electric is the girl next door, nitro is the freaky emo girl with piercings and tattoos.
😆 Thanks man
I love your enthusiasm, of course it's impossible not to love having fun with these ''toys'' ! Nice comparison !
Couldn't agree more! Gotta enjoy that RC hobby 👌🏾
17:51 The FPV of that electric RC car is so cool!
Thanks man

Maaaaan that nitro making noise!
Its a lil screamer

Awesome man, thanks much for the tips. Need all the help I can get. I'll test out what you suggested also yes the starter box is the best indeed.
Cool video I love it it's makes me wanna get a nitro even though there a pain n you give the best tips between electric n nitro

NYC summers being so humid,and nitros not liking humidity. Not fun when your nitros say no way I won't stay running today!!!!!!😮💨😕
Yea man have to find a tree to get some shade and let it cool off a bit
Humidity just kills nitro engines
Its deadly man, its already 90 something degrees and just running around in direct sunlight. Definitely gonna run hot
It’s running to rich leaning it down helps you
Yea low needle still need tuning. High speed needle is pretty lean
@@GregSupe ok 👍

Immediate satisfaction
You know it!!!

Well said, I fully agree! Been really enjoying the Nitro Rcs lately like peanut butter, but electric is ma jam.
hey Greg, good video, what break in method did you use for the nitro?
Followed the instructions from Hobao. 3 full tanks idle, then 3 tanks light driving. After can start tuning the HSN then LSN
What nitro do you use? VP Fuels?
11:46 Yep
Nitro is great when it’s going good but electric is 9/10 easier for a trouble free day
Oh yea for sure. Im getting to understand the frustration right now. when i want to just get up and run it, i have a whole process before i can run the nitro
Hallo, hast Du die blaue Kappe im Vergaser drinnen oder raus gemacht?
yes i did
@@GregSupe also drinnen gelassen.
@@woischwoisch Ja
I miss the sound and smell and wrenching on nitro. Electric I now enjoy charge,plug and play. Then dust off an put on the shelf till next time.
LOL
Nitro is cool
Didnt know I'd enjoy making noise this much lol
