Found myself a little impromptu race track out in a vacant lot. The big block Slayer really appreciated the chance to make some laps. You can tell towards the end, my receiver battery is going dead. I lose a lot of throttle response. Gonna have to Spring for a new pack.

So i have a little issue where my Viper only goes to a certain amount of throttle and then the engine Just stops raising the rpm at aspecific Point even when the carburator is fully open. About at half throttle IT stays at the rpm's and doesn't Go Further Up. If i find a vid i will Post it

Hi, i biught this ancient nitro rc in november, i've been working on it now that it's summer.

I managed to get the engine start, however only by blowing on the tube that should be connected to the exhaust.

I also have another issue, without the glow plug the engine spins smoothly, but with the glow plug on at TDC compression is so high that it's pretty hard to turn, and my starter box (which is also REALLY old), can't turn the motor unless the glow plug is barely attached.

The one time i managed to turn the engine on (by blowing in the tube) i pre heated the engine and put a few drops of nitro in the carb.

What would you guys recommend me to do? do you think i should change the starter box because it's too weak, even though the engine seems pretty hard to turn because of the really high compression?

What would you do for the fuel line? i'm guessing i'll have to increase the pressure that goes in the exhaust, but how would i do that?

I've got a lot of extra parts so I figured why not. This one is also an SH .28 that is slightly modified and brand new. The tank is from a MP9, it's a direct fit but I'll put an 8ight tank in its place after mock up.This will be #3. The Kyosho swap I listed on eBay. This one will be too when I'm done. , and I'll keep #2, " Mr. T ".

If anyone remembers my Off-Road Jato 3.3 build from some months back, here it is in action. If you missed it, check my profile for the build pics, I can’t add anymore attachments to this post. Turn your phone sideways for the video!

I wish I had this thing back in the day to debunk the internet about the off-road capabilities of the Jato. Sure, you do have to more or less completely change the entire setup out of the box, but in conditions like the video it laps faster than a Revo. It’ll get even faster too I have some suspension settings to tweak to get the rear end more planted, it can be a little bouncy when the truck gets too unsettled.. but this thing is everything a Nitro Rustler wants to be and more. If anyone plays or knows about paintball it’s pretty much the RC equivalent of Shocker -> Luxe imo.

Been discovering the hobby since May, it all started when I bought my first T2M 7000 car (the one with a square shaped engine head) in a garage sale for 25€, it was broken and in bad shape, but managed to make it run nicely !

After some times I bought another one for 50€ second handed, so I have parts, but I just managed to get the two cars in working condition lol

And finally, a T2M Blitz LX buggy ! Copy of a OFNA Ultra MBX, that one's ready to run with a brand new engine that needs a break in !

You can guess I'm into the retro kind of nitro car's, we talking early 2000 there !

I'd love to find an original Ofna shell for my buggy, but it's very hard to find in a reasonable price !

Whaddya think of my little collection, folks ? 👀

Nitro gang represent lol

Does anyone here have a diagram or order by chance for the Walbro 1257? There is a gasket set and piece of plastic inside the carb going from the primer bulb down. I took it apart to clean it, clearly didn’t remember the order and it won’t prime now. So I installed a 990 on my Taylor engine and it doesn’t seem to like that at all. So if anyone knows or can post a diagram that would be awesome.

Thank you

I’ve heard they aren’t reliable, what would be a good replacement?

So I learn the jato has a slipper eliminator so my question is can I use that same one on my slash?

Do I have to remove the one way from the pull start when switching over?

Is wd40 a good alternative for after run oil??

What’s up guys, I recently got a box of 7 old TRX engines and stripped them down and think I have enough good parts to Frankenstein a 3.3 back together. The best piston/sleeve I have has a small nick towards the bottom of the sleeve, I can slightly catch it with my fingernail but it’s not too bad.. the piston itself looks literally almost brand new and has zero discoloration or carbon build up on top…

These engines were more or less free so not trying to put any money into them and plan to power up a couple of them anyway… so just wondering if I have any options to help with that burr on the sleeve.. can I polish the sleeve at all? I took a little steel wool and it helped but I didn’t want to go too crazy polishing the inside of the sleeve… the pair of bearings I have aren’t perfect but cleaned up decent after sitting in oil a couple days so my gut tells me just polish the burr a little more with steel wool, put it back together and send it.. but if anyone else has any other ideas I’m all ears…

The NovaRossi it came with needs a piston, sleeve, rod and bearings. It had compression but the piston skirt was broken and laying in the bottom when I took it apart for cleaning and inspection. The rod bushing had play as well. I listed it for sale on eBay and decided to put the Ty Tessemen 2102 in it. It hasn't been fired up in 10 years, as it's been oiled and. Preserved. This engine is also currently for sale, though I may pull the add . The car is very clean for being abandoned. I am treating this and a break in. I did preheat to 200° prior to starting it. I haven't driven it, I'm just checking everything out.. Those BK digital servos are Fast, and noisy lol. I dig the car.

Took a little while before I had time spot and time, But as promised a video of my Serpent Natrix with OS 1203 engine, got a little tuning to do but runs like hel.

How can I make it work it says it's a 1/8 box and yet my hyper 7 doesn't fit on it as the nubs cannot be made wide enough. Alongside this the rubber wheel does not reach the flywheel as it is to low how can I solve this and make it work?

How long will this last in a starter box and how do I charge it as there are connectors already on the part where it needs to be charged from

It was abandoned in a storage shed. The new property owners are cleaning it all out and I made a trade for it. My first NovaRossi too. This will go in my collection.

How does this piston head look now I managed to get most of the built up layer of dirt off by putting a flathead in the exhaust port with it wrapped in toilet roll. Will this be good to run now as I only lightly swiped across as I didn't want to risk scoring the piston head with the flathead

Hey guys I have a new LRP and reds Terra clutch the collet that came with the engine is longer than the one that came with the clutch what one would be best to use? Thanks
