In this video i help troubleshoot some of the problems that occur when you are trying to start a nitro engine. I go over some very important things that help ensure that your nitro engine will start every time you go to try and start it. I hope you enjoy :)
This is the best video I've watched on how to tune step by step .
Some glow plugs that are bad will still glow with the igniter. The way you can tell is the motor will die as soon as the igniter is removed. This means that the platinum on the plug is gone. Good info in video. Keep burning nitro.
I watch a lot of tuning videos hands down dude you got the best
Thank you because of you I got it started today. Great job. Buddy
Need to adjust the camera angle cause everytime you go to show something you move the car out of the field of view.
I was looking in my garage the other day and in a box I found a xray nt18 a sportwerks chaos and a rc18r team associated;)
Hay awesome video helped me out a lot! Couldn't see where your showing the adjustment screw that you were adjusting but I figured it out. Thanks! From G.
Good information. Now I bit understand why a lot of people wrap some type of tape heater around the heat sink. Also haven't anybody mention this, but they do sell those little fuel pump primer. This hopefully will lessen the pullstart wear n tear. I don't mind at all replacing the pullstart. It doesn't look to difficult.
Very helpful video ill use this for Traxxas Tmaxx Pro 15.
This could work for most nitro engines!
If u take glo plug out after driving it last longer. Cover top of engine when doing

New glow plug and I can't even get it to ignite. Can u help please. The Jato is in great condition. Like I said the easy start light say motor only . The glow plug want ignite even new glow plugs. Can help me man
Get a glow plug igniter the little blue wire sucks and doesn’t make the glow plug light up enough
@@thercgarage1443 ok thx
Yeah I just got a new igniter. She is definitely a awesome car.
Never seen someone do too many turns on the carb. The best way I seen is to to do 1 needle at a time. This is going to throw ppl off.
What If ur smokes heavy when you hit the throttle
Ur engine is running rich
I have brought a rc car of my mate for cheap but it’s a really rare one and i have made everything work receiver and all electrics but now I’m trying to start it my engine won’t start can you help
What is it doing?
Just doesn’t start , pull start works , I even brought a quick starter that u can use with drill but no still don’t work
@@handyhelpingchannel8031 did u check if it has compression
Yes obviously it has
Bro don't be an ass. He just trying n to help
If you have weak compression but not terrible is there still a chance the engine won’t start or pull fuel/ won’t prime like not having pressure to pull fuel to start
Yes
@@thercgarage1443 and once an engine has weak compression there’s no fixing it ?
@@ninjaxgaminggamingchannel3082 you can rebuild it
@@thercgarage1443 and also one last question if a gas tank has a leak can that be the cause too and I could just do a quick gas tank swap from my other nitro
@@ninjaxgaminggamingchannel3082 yeah gas tanks can cause issues too if it’s older
I need help with my Traxxas nitro they left bad gas in it rc shop claims they cleaned it but it still won't run very long and quit. Is it carb time?
Reset the carb needles to the factory settings and try to tune from there if that doesn’t work you might need to rebuild the carb or replace it all together
@@thercgarage1443 ty
Hey, I have problems with my nitro engine. I have The same engine as shown on this video but i cant get it tuned right. It seems to be too rich (it Took 14 seconds to cut off during pinch test. I tried to Lean it out from lsn but at first it Took The same 14 seconds to cut off. Then i tried to Lean it out More but then it didn't Even start) and i wonder how much The Idle and hsn effects to it. Also when i turned The car over there was coming a lot of Fuel from The exhaust.
Yeah the reality is that these engines just aren’t good I had problems tuning one on one of my other cars there are just cheap and not well built, like I had to replace o rings on carburetor right out of the box because they were the right ones so you could try that to start and see if that helps and try to find any place that u might have a leak or a bad seal but Ultimately these engines just aren’t good
My slash nitro flywheel got stuck . I barley got it today and I was trying to break it in . An out of nowhere the flywheel got stuck don't move I have to force it ? Can u help me out
Is the engine locked up or just the fly wheel?
@@thercgarage1443 the flywheel man won't move all at
I have the same one
Hey my rc nitro truck want started
I know this is a dumb quiestion but you need a battery in the car to run the servos right?
Yes you do it’s either double a’s or a hump pack I usually run hump packs in my cars cuz they are rechargeable
unfortunatly none of these worked
I’m sure nitro fun and all but between the gas smell, noise and all the other unnecessary bs , just to say you run nitro is far from the best idea. Try electric, I did and haven’t looked back.
Electric is just as fast and just as fun without the smell or dealing with a tiny engine.
Unless you are really just into the hobby for fixing and wrenching. Which is great. But for consistency I feel the switch to electric was the best move I’ve made.
I hope you get it figured out. Nothing more fraud than thinking yup figured it out and then it’s midnight and have to start over.
I run both and I love electric as well but I like smells and noises so it’s just what you prefer and I started with nitro so it will always be my favorite but like I said I love electric aswell
@@thercgarage1443 if the wife wasn’t final say, I’d at least have 1. I can also admit I know nada about real engines and the way they work so hats off there.
I can still smell at the motocross track as a kid and the racing environment wouldn’t have been as memorable if it weren’t for the buzz of two strokes and the smell of my youth.
I’m a little jealous lol
I have a jato and my esc light wont come on..new batteries in everythinh new ...any suggestions?
Well that was 22 mins of my life completely wasted
Buy an electric rc car!!
Not the video to watch if your trying to get your truck running. There are definitely WAY BETTER videos
