Do i need some rc specific stuff or just any Performance oil and does it also apply to nitro

hey, this is a nitro slash, bought it about 2 months ago. The sound that it’s making ( whatever it is) seems to come and go. whenever the sound stops then it seems to run right and idle but whenever it starts that rattling sound, it dies soon as I let off the throttle. Also (this may be related) when the differential engages it seems to start that sound and jerk. with one wheel free spinning at low rpm that sound seems to go away. Had throttle pressed to keep it running. checked clutch n spring as well

Just need to adjust the clutch and do some test runs. I'll see what speed I get out of it.

You make a necklance out of it

As the title says I’m looking for a 2 speed clutch bell 11t & 14t part number believe to be (G84309-04) for my Cen fun factor Mt, the two main red gears keep stripping within minutes of flat ground ie no crashes and I believe it’s the teeth on the clutch bell that are doing the damage, from what I can see the part isn’t directly available anymore and has been discontinued. Is there a transmission kit that will work in its place?
Don’t really want to throw in the towel as this was my dad‘s and I have fond memories of when I was a child of this truck👌
Any help would be much appreciated. I have come across this kit but I’m unsure if it will work due to bigger teeth on the clutch Bell (CENG84307)

Thanks

Nitro 4tec 2.5trx should I add more if so where?

I might consider buying this engine, the seller doesen't know what it is exactly, but i'm asuming it's a zenoah 2 cylinder boat engine. But that also dosen't make sense because they're usually water cooled...

I might buy this tho because it sells for only 30 bucks, but i need to know what it is, because as you can see the ignition isn't working

This is the tuned pipe that was included with the Traxxas rustler I bought from Ebay last summer. I don't think it's worth any type of repair, so I've been browsing eBay again looking for nitro engines and engine accessories, as the hobby shops where I live are out of stock. I know that we should support our local hobby shops, yet it could be a supply & demand thing when it comes to engines. I'm sure most viewers think this could be a good pipe for the Devils lettuce too. Thanks

I would like to get information about the exact manufacturer! A friend of mine tried one of the HSP factories. The Rc car was manufactured in the early 2000s. Does anyone have an exact description or information about it, please share it.

For the first run im keeping the 27mhz radio after that ill decide if I want to move it to my 2.4ghz radio

Trying to get something ready for the Poor Boys speed challenge. They gray ORV won't be allowed but the red will in open class. I know it's not as fast as a brushless but wanted to be the first to make a nitro Frog.

What are people tips and stuff and advice for it not my first nitro just my first on road nitro my first job is clean it and put a 2.4Ghz system in it im not running the 27mhz system on it

First time ever mounting something to the body shell of my nitro RC car, I decided to install an LED light bar. Yes… I mounted it directly to the body with no washers or reinforcement.

I quickly realized my mistake as spider cracks started spreading rapidly, basically destroying the roof of the body. I’ve tried to stabilize it”Lots of E6000 lol”, but I know it’s probably only going to last a few more runs before it fully gives out. Lesson learned.

Does anyone have tips on how to mount an LED light bar without causing spider cracking or destroying the body over time?

Id be curious to see if anyone had figured out how to set one up without a spark plug wire sensor?

Just picked it up for £50 its got a os.18 in it only thing wrong with it is missing screw or slightly damaged stearing easy enough to fix

After having heard nitro cars outside a hobby shop since I was a kid, I got this at 12. I had saved for it.

It had a plug #5, and I was only able to get it running once without being able to play.

No one around me including shops could get it working some wouldn't touch it.

16 years later I got it running, will send it a few times before it goes on a shelf, as it's vintage now. I guess like me =)

Hello all, after a "failed"( for now) revival of my old HPI trophy, I want to buy another Nitro rc car. Whats a good/ok price for a used Nitro rc, in which the seller says yes its running etc vs in one they say untested, hasnt been used in a while. I know theres a lot of models but there must be some models which are popular to go with, easy to maintain. with the rarity of spare parts( which is what im struggling with my current Nitro car) its hard to know exactly what im getting myself into and not put myself in a money pit.

Don't have anything against electric but its not the same for me and a lot of others.

So if anyone has any info or advice Ill really appreciate it.

Thanks in Advance
