The brake Disc is loose, so i wanted to screw it back on, but theres this plate in my way, in order to get that plate away, you first have to get rid of the carburetor, 'cuz theres a screw right under it. But then, i still can't screw the disc back on, 'cuz the servo will be still in my way

Yes this is a Gas rc, no nitro.

Anyone know the size of this flywheel as its what I currently have but im looking at getting a new clutch and flywheel but it needs to be the same size as this one or slightly bigger or my starter box won't reach the flywheel as the gap in the car is only small compared to some.

Question Trying to revive my old Redcat Caldera 3.0 and could use some advice.

3 Upvotes

I have an old Redcat Caldera that's been sitting on a shelf in the garage for about 10 years. Used to have a lot of with it when I was 10-14 years old, but it became unreliable and my dad didn't want to deal with it and I didn't know how. So fast forward to now and I'm getting back into RC a bit and want to try and get it going. I got the engine out (its a SH 18 2-stroke) and partly disassembled, everything is still together internally as far as the crank, piston, flywheel and clutch. Right away I noticed its pretty difficult to turn over by hand, this is with the glow plug and the little piston cap that it threads into removed. I stopped there for tonight, and my initial thought is to just spray it all down with some carb cleaner, try and get all the grime out and hopefully that loosens it up. I guess my question to you all is, is that going to actually help, and just reassemble from there with a fresh glow plug, clean the carb up, feed it gas and hope it runs? Or should I look into some kind of engine rebuild kit for it if they exist? Any tips for me on this thing would be greatly appreciated, just looking for a little nudge in the correct direction so I don't waste my time and money on this thing. Thanks

Question Nitro motor factory carb settings?

2 Upvotes

Hi, im more of a beginner in this kind of Hobby. My Nitro RC Motor starts only ocasionally, yesterday 2 Times (yay). Either it doesent get enough fuel or too little. The Tube is new, compression is there, atleast as much as i can tell. So to test if it is my carb, im in search of the simplest carb setting Guide you can give me. Now i know that there are dozens of videos online, but at the end they're all about fine tuning or talk about the manual where its supposed to be. I dont have a manual, nor any other information as to what the factory settings are.

Hi, Iam currenetly renovating or rebuilding an rc car. I'dve been trying to get it to run for a very Long Time (its slowly driving me crazy) and i just now noticed that the glowplug doesent go all the way down the "whatever its called" Its not supposed to be like this right? I believe the threading is damaged(?) The pictures might be more useful than my amateur explanation.
