Any new motors on rc cars need to be broken in and tuned.

 

how are you suppose to properly break it in and where do i get it tuned at..

im gonna search google also

 

If you YouTube search "squirrel nitro break in", it is very good. Brian from thetoyz, IMO has really good vids. Used the video to help my friend tune his nitro.

Id pull it up but I'm on mobile.

 

thanks i saw the ten step vid he made and thats what im going off of lol

 

memorize squirel's video/

my first nitro, i ended up killing the motor. the throttle was stuck on WOT. so when i got it started it went to 100% for about a few seconds then died.

shop showed me the broken connecting rod. oopsie.

 

oh buy nitro in as small amount as you could. around $25 for a gallon. but unless you will be running a lot it will just sit there and soak in moisture and ruining it...

 

so i went through all of squriells videos and so i wanted to just start my car up one time...when i started it up it sounded like it went straight to full throttle...(the tires were moving also)..i had it set up on a chair so the tires were off the ground..i shut off the car because i dont want to blow the motor up...any ideas?

 

Ok so now I've figured out I need to adjust my idle hers two pics to help you with my confusion the first pic is off the carb with no throttle the next picnics off full throttle which way am I suppost to adjust

 

in that pix you are about 3/4 WOT.

that black rubber bellows is the arm to the carb. push it closed so looking down the air filter hole, you could see that the carb is closed.

you should be able to turn on the radio and the receiver so you could open and close the carb without the engine running...

 

so when i start the car it should be pushed all the way closed?

 

Here's what it looks like with the trigger pulled all the way it doesn't run off any more but it sounds like its revig way to high

 

that should just idle when you first start the car.

you can then "blip" it to see it wont die.

i used to keep the glow plug igniter from 30 seconds to a minute after it starts.

go watch a few more youtube vids to get a gauge of what idle speed is versus WOt...



now you know why i bailed on nitros. i went and converted a 10 year old revo that i could not keep constantly running, to electric. i am so happy with my e-revo...

 

yeah now my new issue is that once i took the glow starter off it still revved high but when i tried giving it gas it seemed to sound normal but then the car cut off

 

see if you can just idle the car on a stand.

i used to remember breaking in the engine by just letting it idle the first tank.

 

I want to put the rev sounds so high lol afraid to blow up engine lol
