already done, as is always the case on immediately opening! I came from nitro on my hyper st (still half brushless converted, just can't sort the drive train from wrecking the gears. Until i got into the smaller scale thanks to this chanel; (still have a sprint 2) I don't miss the glowplug saga, pulling the rip cord and it coming off in your hand. It was fun at the time but too messy and expensive. and carrying a huge bag around. Nitro back then (10-12 years ago) was 20 quid a contianer! Saying that electric come October is probably gonna be the same! Start it rich so you can see the exhaust clearly then lean it off a bit so just a bit shows as it exits the exhaust. Was a good rule of thumb for me anyway. (yours looked a little rich, but can't fault it's "go"!
The tuning is fine. The issue it has is the clutch is too loose and engages too fast causing it to the bog. Sort the clutch by tightening the springs and it will launch out the hole like an animal.
Any more nitro's you are on the lookout after ?
I myself wouldn't mind getting hold of the original kyosho mad force or the twin force (og electric solid axle truck.)
Or the thunder tiger EK4, wheelies for days out of both of these when tuned right.
Mad force is a bit more fragile then the ek4 being a solid axle monster truck but still, love the look of Kyosho's 1:8th scale monster trucks too this day.
Specially the new brushless usa-1 is a really nice looking truck.
I got the kyosho TR15 stadium force as my first hobby grade rc car i loved it and would love to get my hands on another one someday !
Way to go man! Its rare to see such a beautiful 1/10 scale RC Nitro! Love ur content Tomley 😍
That. Is. Epic. Guys we need to bring back nitro, cus there ain’t nothin better
THANKYOU FOR MAKING PHIL SO HAPPY 🇬🇧✌🏼
Glad you enjoyed it Mike 👌
I love NITRO. More please. 👍
I’ve got a 90’s Rustler to get going next 👌
She’s definitely running quite rich. You can slowly turn the fuel mixture screw in till it sounds more smooth, like it sounds in the higher rev range, all throughout the rev range. It’ll also get rid of that bog down low and really wake it up.
Be careful though! Those early Tamiya engines have a habit to seize when leaned-out, especially with high nitro contents ( everything above 23% )
What an amazing historical rc truck!
I agree 👌
Wow that engine such a nostalgic sounding, I used to play nitro back in the days,
And one of it was Tamiya 8th scale nsx with that same motor👍😁
Yes, sounds good 👌
@@TomleyRC well it is mate😊👍
That thing is awesome. Something about Tamiya cars, it doesn't matter if they are fast or durable, they're just awesome no matter what.
Vintage rc cars always welcome 💪👍
This is the first time I've ever seen or even heard of one of these but this is the coolest RC truck I've ever seen! I wonder if this will ever be reproduced?
My god that thing is gorgeous,. There’s something about retro rc cars that modern ones just don’t have . I get that same tingle when I see a really nice Mrk1 golf
Man that’s a beaut. Your going to have Hybrid jizzing into a WWF mask.
Love these quiet exhausts on the older stuff too 👍👍👍
If tamiya decide to reproduce this as an electric I will buy several, looks so awesome.
They did it was a Dyna Blaster
Loving the Casioak
Was thinking the same thing
It’s a one I had done in Team TRC Colours 👌
Loved this video! Very nostalgic. I still have my TR 15T that I bought with my first job over the summer break and built from scratch, with my Nenita (grandma) watching my every step and keeping a good supply of snacks while I dedicated the rest of my holiday break to building this wonderful car. Thank you for showing how amazing this car is. Really brought back some amazing memories.😆😆😆😆😆
one thing about nitro: air cooled....don't rip it doing donuts etc you can over heat it. It's always good to do some not full throttle straight runs to get air flowing over the cooling fins. They're pretty durable but you CAN over heat them.
Oh yeah, it's better to be too rich than too lean.....too lean means not enough cooling or lube from the fuel and you can burn out the engine. You'll go faster but for a shorter amount of time. It's better to err on the side of caution and run it a tad rich.
yes definately a gem right there phil, i bought a TGX mk1 few years back now in almost prestine and i love it when i do actually take it out as its pretty much the same tires are hard and no grip but its awesome drifting around pouring out smoke and noise just love it , cheers for taking us back bro , 🙂
That engine sounds real healthy
I saw this truck in the background of another video and wondered what it was. Big props to you for actually taking it out and driving it!
Definitely the best RC on the Channel if the best RC is the 1 that makes you smile the most 😉 awesome find and what a sweet looking and sounding truck so good it’s got me wanting to get my Thunder Tiger Sledgehammer S50 out the shed after sitting there 2 yrs since I bought it and only having 1 tank through it on a stand 🤦🏼♂️ it needed tuning when I bought it at the time I dint know it needed a Tanks putting through it before you can tune them. After the 1 Tank I had inadvertently smoked out the kitchen as it was all blowing in through the door so the misses put a stop to my tinkering at that point, I really need to get it out clean it and have another go at it before the weather changes again. Great vid Phil 👍
I know electrics may be faster. I know they may be easier. I know they may be cleaner but there's NOTHING like the sound of a nitro r/c car. I have a completed Kyosho VR-1 corvette and a partially finished Tamiya Mugen Dome NSX.
Really nice buy, the guy looked after that 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes, it was way better than I thought it was going to be!
EPIC!!! Indeed. I love seeing vintage RC. It looks in perfect shape. So happy for you.
That truck looks absolutely MADD! The seller took great care of it As it started quite easily. Awesome fun Phil! Thanks for sharing buddy!👍🏻💯🍻😃
Awesome. That was fun to watch. Thanks for letting Phill buy it 👍🏻
Damn that’s sick! Props to dude for selling you a clean, sorted truck.
My first ever nitro was an HPI Rush Evo that I bought used about 18-20 years ago. Wish I still had it when watching vids like this but I sold it to another nitro noob after a while and I chose to upgrade.
love old tamiya nitros...
Just got a tamiya tnx 3.0
what a gem!
Man that thing's a beast!! I've never been into nitro stuff, but I really love that truck!
Many years ago the club I raced at did a "demo" race day at the Exeter Race Course shortly before it was taken over by The Jockey Club. We laid out a nice big track for suitable for 1/8th and 1/10th on a mown grass area. And once we started racing I found that my Team Associated RC10T2, a brushed stadium truck just 2 years younger than the TR-15T, could keep up with the 1/8th buggies when I ran 7 cell battery packs! It's pretty similar too with it's dead flat handling and massive fun to drive!
Nice! Wished I’d done a bit of racing back in the day
That’s a cool truck can’t believe how clean it looks
Yeah, I was very pleased 👌
That thing sounds like it runs so smooth.
Wow that is a beauty fair play I bet you are now over welled with the nostalgia of that truck, drifts amazingly, can't wait to see more of it running 👍
Happy for ya, Phil!
Hello from Atlanta! Really love your “retro” content. Thanks for sharing!
Delighted to see one of you tubes best rc creators enjoying rcs best power plant. Beautiful car mate
Amazing car. Back in those days I couldn't effort it. But I bought the rims and tires to get my Stadium Blitzer road fit😁. Thanks for the presentation 👍
I have lots of love for the Stadium Blitzer. It was actually the trick that got me back in to RC about 10yrs ago!
Beautiful truck mate. Thanks for the upload!
Looks like RC's aren't the only things whipping donuts in that parking lot.
OMG mate that thing Is epic!!! So great looking and runs so smooth, Its the Best thing I have seen for a while, It seems the torque starts mid range rpm wise, you have to be playing with the gas yo keep It in that range, ohh man I really really liked this one, I bet Its gonna have a really decent top speed as well, specially for a tiny nitro, cheers mate, again that thing Is epic, thanks for sharing this with us!!
Friggin great find! Enjoy it! 😁
Love the TR15-T ...👍 I've still got mine tucked away,had it from when I was 14 years old (I'm 43 now 😂) really need to get it out and use it again! Always remember how fast it was....felt like a wee rocket. I've also got a Team Losi XXX and a Schumacher Bosscat stored away with it....need to get them up and running again! 😎👍
Never heard of this truck before watching this video. What an awesome thing. 😎👍🏻
What a find! Good work, man.
Love the way that thing drives; slightly plush suspension really absorbing the bumps, with satisfying pitch and roll. What a laugh!
You have excellent taste man.. That is also my dream nitro! What a classic!
Best looking stadium truck from Tamiya. 👍 I have a love hate relationship with my HPI nitro. I hate tuning it but it's definitely fun
Oh, man. That looks awesome!
Hi Phil, great vid, love seeing the old skool rc vids and beautiful truck, I race nitro so I know a few bits, engine tune looks great to my taste - better a bit rich than to lean and if you haven’t already don’t forget to drain down the fuel and put some after run oil in to stop the Nitro corroding the inside of the engine 👍
Retro awesomeness. Looks great.
Super nice addition.
Yeah nitro! I'm so old I can remember flick starting them!
congratulation for such a nice acquisition!!! :D
Great video, great truck.
Love how low the body is. Would be cool to see a speed run with this....
Vow! What a beauty and sound! Beautiful and cool NITRO!
Yes, looks awesome doesn’t it
Wow! Beautiful
That thing sounds GOOD!!!!!
Sounds wicked.. brings back some memories 🔧🔧
Your filming is getting gooder!
Wow... The truck looks and sounds sweet, Phil!!! 😮
Fantastic indeed!!! 🖖😊 for the guy who sold it to you!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
So awesome! I thought you were going to faint from excitement, lol. My first nitro was an RC 10 GT black pan. I bought it off of RC Groups. Then I got an old Kyosho USA1 Twin nitro engine conversion. I still have them, and they still run! They don't make them how they used to.
Wow a twin engine sounds like it would be INSANE! You should make a video on it with just the raw sound.
That is a pretty sick looking stadium truck.
Could almost smell that nitro through my phone, awesome vid phill
I can totally recommend early on a Sunday morning as the best time to run Nitro, and get four or five of your mates with their's as well! Awesome.
That is a thing of beauty.
In the words of a great man you can’t kill a nitro baby
Beautiful RC
I love this damn channel. Easily becoming one of my favorites 🙏🏿
Kendrick, this comment means a lot. Thank you 🤘
You must have like a million cars already.... awesome, thanks for all the cool content 🤠🤙🏼
That thing is bad ass idk what it is but the height stance and tire combo even the wheels look so good
I was just looking at these on e bay! these things are sick!!!
C.A.F CONGRATULATIONS SIR 🇬🇧👍🏼
Awesome nitro rc, never had a Tamiya nitro before. Sounds great, very healthy engine.
Awesome little nitro!
Sweet looking little truck
That goes really well and sounds epic. Good ole fun nitro cars. That really looks like its well tuned and picks up and handles well once warmed up. Good fun :)
That sounds really crisp
I like this truck. Can't wait to see speed run video
Beautiful 😍
Always wanted this truck when it came out they need to bring it back with two speed transmission and all wheel drive still want one🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Sweet truck I cant beleive someone sold it
the roll cage is so nice
Hands Down one cool RC 👍💯
Now all you need is a two speed transmission!!!, he’ll yeah…and a gps 👍
That is a really nice setup as it is love those rims/wheels.
Man that goes well 🤘
Very cool Find 😎👍🏻
Have a word with Glenn,😉 great video mate.. the body looks so much like a stadium blitzer..👍🇬🇧😎
That’s very, very good looking
Those rims are stunning
As others mentioned it runs a little rich. It 'burbles' a bit when going on the throttle, thats how you can hear it's a bit too rich. When you press the throttle acceleration should be instant and it should sound clear/crisp, the typical methanol engine sound. But it's safer to be a bit on the rich side than run it too lean. That will ruin it fast.
And when you won't use it for a while, let it run out of fuel at idle and put some after run oil in the intake and pull the starter a few times. Methanol/nitro is hygroscopic and will attract moisture which will make the bearings in the engine rust.
Sounded like it's a little over geared. A bigger spur or a smaller pinion (on the clutch bell) will let the engine rev higher. It also sounds like it's not quite "on song". Rich carburation keeps the engine well lubricated, but a leaner mix will get you more power. Lean it out gradually and you'll see and hear a big difference. Also make sure you can still see some smoke from the exhaust to be sure it's still properly lubricated.
You should get some mini pin rears and ribbed fronts and take it offroad!
I’ve never had a nitro RC. I used to want one, but by the time I got back into the hobby, electric was as fast or faster. Really cool truck!
You should get one. Electric is better but nitro is more exiting 👍
Wow... had one when it first came out, almost 30 years ago. Loved it, ran it to death...
very cool awesome Tamiya nitro
very cool Man 👌👍💪
greetings from Indonesia 🇲🇨
While i am 100% electric fun i have to admit:
1) this rc is snazzy. Stadium trucks are the way to go..
2)nitro engines give to our hobby a whole new level of realism..
Agree. Couldn’t run them all the time, but good to give one a blast every now and then
@@TomleyRC 100% true. Period!
In my opinion they are so much maintenance that it is hard to have "fun" with them. Maybe that is because I own a used one that has been neglected and abused by it's previous owners. And if you have an ez start, sell it and convert. Those are trashy systems. I always thought they were handy until mine broke yesterday. And it only broke the glow plug section. The hot exhaust pipe melted the wire. Why? Just why? I'm never using an ez start again and converting to pull start.
@@rctrucks2094 mate, nitros are 100% demanding..but its not only the food we should like in a restaurant, the decoration itself gives the extra taste to our food..i mean you must want to spent time, not only put batteries -play repeat..this is like just eat anywhere...my opinion
@@RACEABLE Yes for sure, but RC cars seems to be the only area where electric is actually better. Nitro is great for the realism, but is so much maintenance. Gas RC's are also at least less work and they are more realistic sounding, but slow and expensive. I still like nitros, but brushless is not only easier but also faster, easier to learn, not oily and are lighter and very convenient. Learning how to charge lipos is way easier than learning nitro maintenance. They are also more durable than nitros. In my opinion nitro is actually a decent beginner option because it develops your respect for the vehicle. With electrics it is tempting for a beginner to full send it on a jump before learning how to even drive it. I am not trying to say "never drive nitros," I am just giving examples on why electric is a much more practical choice.
And don't be buying Traxxas fuel, it ruins glow plugs. Buy Bones Brew or Sidewinder.
I love a good retro, generally I modernise mine (without molesting) so I can keep all the original stuff mint. Ie I would personally pull the engine out and fill with oil (to preserve) and fit something else. Radio is a must, and any rare bits remove. Again keep the original shell and maybe bang a repro on it to bash. But hey that’s me! Lovely truck, gonna hunt the bay now!!!!!
fair play that's a decent truck bud 👍
Love it
ohhh so good the noise and the car is realy nice too 10-10 👌👌😍😍
Runs great! I have a rc10gt I have been trying to get running. Almost there🤞.
Good luck 🤞🏻
Super cool....😎
Sick pick up💪
