HPI Trophy 4.6 Nitro Truggy - OUT of BOX & FIRST START!
Hi mate doing exactly this on the hpi f3.5 iv tried an alloy upgrade with supplied spring and genuine plastic hpi 2 shoe and spring and still will not disengage even on pulling the pull start it will spin the clutch bell let alone when it starts unstoppable or will stall, Shimmed properly and even tried swapping the shoes around in case they was installed wrong. All brand new first run of a new build and this is the only problem. Any help would be appreciated. 2 model shops in Birmingham overlooked the open set up today of purchasing the new genuine parts and nobody in 2 shops spotted an obvious mistake… have you ever came across this? Few mentions on forums about other cars doing it but none of the threads iv read have the solution.. just the obvious guesses shimming wrong etc
🆒 video & ℹ️ have 1️⃣0️⃣ HPI savages 🤑👍🏼🛻🏁
As a novice to nitrous I discovered that id spend 15 minutes of complete madness and then 45minutes repairing and improving my car. Best way to learn.
I will always come back to these videos for nitro education. No matter how old i get.

Which one is better VRX 2 or the VRX Spirit?
My Thundertiger pro came as a ready set with a metal spur gear and I’ve still got it running a Rossi Cobra X2 race engine. Still going strong!
Got my cbt in an hour and you’ve sincerely saved me with these videos. Thanks so much
Dude where is tank 1, all your videos you start on tank 2.
I have a revo 3.3 with the navorassi turbo engin maid for thr revo platinium but the teeth on the easy gear keeps braking off is their any other compleat back plate with the gears that mighy work i have 4 of these engines with the same broblem hope you can help me i 4 brand new navorsssi engines thanks for the advice in advance
I would like to see a video on setting up the carb needle valve/ air screw etc.
Thank you very much for this video sir.
Are u ever goong to comeback to rc
Hopefully this gets a response, will the jr racing XR2 work with a Futaba R122JE reciever
dam good vid bro
when the road calls for you to have to shift up gears quickly in order to build speed... do u have to let the clutch all the way out fully, and then bring it all the way back in again, for the shift up into each subsequent individual higher gear?? Or can I bring clutch fully in, and then for example shift from second gear, through to third and then to fourth, all the while while holding the clutch in for that?
How do i sort out my thunder tiger eb4 s2 gears and bresks the front wheel wont spin! Any help????
Not a good idea putting fuel into the cylinder head without cleaning the area around the glow plug. Dirt likes to collect there. Now you introduced dirt into the cylinder which can scar the cylinder wall. Just an fyi.
I have this "Auto Glower" too. It´s a really fine thing. But after only three or four starts, the glow plug doesn´t glow no more :( Now I don´t know, the "Auto Glower" is broken or could it be that it doesn´t work when the Accu gets to low in voltage. I press the glow button and the red LED lights up as usual, but the glow plug keeps cold (other plugs I tested, too) .... :(
Is this buggy still available to buy? It seems to have disappeared from there website ?
If so can you recommend another one in this sort of price range please
Couple rubber bands on the carb throttle, should make the servo slowly go back to iddle position after a power loss or switch getting knocked off
no instructions on tuning or what fuel to use
All the best thank you for your help 👍👍👍👍👍
Is this still your top rated Nitro ?
Wow! Looks skill (ABC)
Please, may I have the table?
I want the table please
I want the table
Have you got any e-mail
i can't get mine to start and the throttle seems to not respond brand new engine
I love the cart! But I loved its price more and I wonder if it is a good long-term investment? How long will the engine last without failing? Will there be parts for this buggy after 5 years on aliexpress? What is the quality of the servos and motors? I see many videos speaking highly of this car, fresh out of the box...but I would love to know if after 1 or 2 years of use, the stock engine, stock servos, gears without wear still work? The chassis is very similar to the redcat tornado and hsp 94106... greetings friend
Why is there gas or oil all over my chassis and parts? Is the low needle
too rich
😂😂 out all & I mean all the videos on line trying to explain how to tune hsn-lsn & symptoms by so called experts failed me 😂 followed your simple instructions now my t-max is now running perfectly thanks to your 13 year old video thanks my guy 🤙👍🏻👌
🍒 cherry is what we say here in the states.
😂I was looking into after run oils, and I found an oldie. You had me laughing so hard at end of a very long day. 13 yes I think it said. I really like the old videos people used to make, and the community comments. It's all changed so much. I guess some of it had to. Cause it'd get Raw😅 Anyhow don't even think you were trying to be funny, but it was perfect 😆 I can imagine you'd get pressure from a bunch to do this again. Heck maybe you are. Thanks again and I'm gonna watch a few more now..
What an incredibly helpful video
Anyone here 2024?
I found your videos back in about 2013/14 when I bought a Nitro car and was looking for some tips, you were a young kid then. You’ve produced get content over the years. I wish you all the best!
