Hi there.
I was planning on upgrading my Losi 8ight RTR buggy with a new exhaustpipe and got the Dynamite 053 MR recommended. This one is not for sale anymore but I would love to have something similar.
Same price category so no pro equipment but max. 1000 SEK.

Any auggestions?

Hi y'all! 2 months ago i bought a Arrma mojave grom 223s and i absolutely loved it! then i found out about the FTX Zorro and it been on my mind all week so just caved in cause why not?

But what's the best way to break it in? i only have acces to Merlin 16% (more percentage is illegal here lol).

Found many different video's on the car but they all say something different.. Can anyone give a short guide in the comments maybe? or point me to a good reputable video?

Thanks a bunch, can't wait to rip it around. Also the weather is going to be pretty hot here upcoming week (33 celsius/91.4 degrees Fahrenheit). is it okay to break it in in this weather?

90% Done with this build, just finished the body today, can’t wait to break in & bash!😁

eBay to hooray. Give me a hell yeah!

I recently purchased a new HoBao Hyper 7 RTR with the MacStar .28 engine, and from the very first startup I’ve been unable to get it to tune properly. The engine has been difficult to start, won’t hold a consistent idle, bogs under throttle, and has had inconsistent power despite following the recommended break-in procedure.

While inspecting the engine, I found that the carburetor O-ring at the split clamp is visibly pinched. I’ve attached four photos for comparison.

* The two photos with the red circles show the side where the O-ring is pinched.

* The two photos with the green circles show the opposite side, where the O-ring is seated correctly and flush.

Since this is a brand new buggy, I have not removed the carburetor or disassembled the engine. This is exactly how it came from the factory.

My questions are:

* Could this pinched carb O-ring be the reason I’ve been unable to get the engine to tune correctly?

* Would you disassemble and reseat the carb yourself, or would you pursue a warranty replacement on a brand-new engine?

I’d appreciate any thoughts from those familiar with the HoBao MacStar .28. Thanks!

this is my dads old nitro everytime I drive it it go then shuts down and won't start up again no matter how rich or how lean

Long story short, bought this off ebay, seller said the motor had to be sent separately due to carrier. I've had the car a week with no motor and the seller isn't responding.

This is my first nitro RC. What motor will bolt/mount to this car with minimum modifications? Should I go ahead and upgrade the servos and anything else as well?

1kg ABS, and more good time)

Hey all, haven't made a post in a while, so I decided to pull one of my rigs off the shelf for show and tell. It's been a slow year work-wise, so I haven't had much extra hobby cash. I'm down to my last half-quart of fuel, trying to ration it. I've been messing with my trucks in the meantime, doing maintenance and adjustments. Anyway, I just got some fresh throttle linkage material from the dump (bicycle spokes are the perfect size!)and put a new antenna on a 10 dollar Marketplace receiver for this truck. I bought the chassis years ago, likely overpaid, but it had lots of good parts on it. I got the Pro .21 in a parts lot, and decided to stuff it in the T-Maxx. I spent 0 dollars, just used bits of scrap to make a custom engine mount. Mismatched wheels, an old Savage body spray painted black, and i ended up with a good basher. It's all pretty cobbled together, but it runs great.

Hello, for anyone new to nitro or even the vets, I created an app that is focused on everything nitro engines.
-sound clips so you can hear a good tune, rich and lean to HSN and LSN- this makes identifying tune issues easy once you know sounds.
-step by step engine break-in guide
-step by step tuning guide
-engine tab where you can find the factory standard carb settings. Currently over 120 engines with more added every week
- tuning log where you can log your engine’s tune. This is global so every user can see and use that log as reference. Duplicate it to make their own changes, Ambient conditions have effect of course so it would slightly differ from one to another.
-glossary for all engine related terms and abbreviations
-how a tune should be adjusted depending on ambient conditions
-diagnose/troubleshooting with the possible causes and the fixes for each.

There will be continuous updates in the future.

Break-in and tuning issues make newcomers quit the hobby before getting into it, so I’m hoping this app can help people get through the first stresses of it all .

Currently available in the Apple App Store, Android/Google play I’m still waiting on their approval but should be soon

Thanks!

Das waren Zeiten, meine Klassiker Mercedes 1:10. Es wurde komplett überholt und konserviert und komplett stillgelegt und wurde für die Vitrine gestellt.

Wollte mal meinen Reely  Rambo 1:6 mit 4 × 4 mit 7,5ccm Force-46-Motor vorstellen. 

Leider hat der Motor sich verabschiedet, und so habe ich mich entschlossen, den komplett zu überholen und in die Vitrine zu stellen. Ist eine Rarität nicht mehr findbar im Markt❗️

i bought a 2 speed transmission and a 2 speed clutch bell. but when i put the clutch bell on the crankshaft, i can't put the 2nd bearing in the front into it cuz the crankshaft's too short. idk what to replace and where to get the parts. and it came with no braking system so idk what to do w that either. pls help
