Been trying to tune my engine for 3 days. Finally found something easy to understand. Your videos is 10 years old but still helps to this date. Thanks mate
Glad it helped
None of the “professional videos” made on nitro rc tuning that have come out since this one are as easy to understand as your videos thank you I just got my first nitro in 2021 and your video makes the most sense
Thanks very much, I'm 40 but I still learnt something from you, well done and keep it up :)
I know Im randomly asking but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid lost my password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Alvaro Michael Instablaster =)
im new to nitro rc. ive finished running in and ready tune. ive watched many video's and have been confused by many of them until now. your video is the best. very well explained. hopefully u have one on the HSN as well. thanks heaps for the video dude.
Mate your videos are top notch stuff and very very well explained for beginners to understand like myself. Just getting into nitro after having a year on electric and I'm struggling to tune it but watching your videos you are making it very clear.
Great information here! Been into large scale gasoline boats and now I'm into big brushless electric boats. But I decided to get a nitro truck yesterday. I got the new HPI Savage XL K5.9.
I had a hard time getting it running out of the box. The tips here helped me get it running in minutes. Thanks!!!
well done for the video. This is much better than a lot of adults out there who claim to have experience but know nothing about delivering that to others.. You'll make a great teacher one day kid.
Out of all the videos I have watched, this was one of the best. Thanks.
I think this is hands down the best LSN adjustable video I have seen yet.
I'm new to the nitro hobby and am in the process of breaking in my new Losi 8ight Buggy, my 1st nitro rc car. This low needle adjustment has been a pain lol. I seem to get it running okay but the next day when I start it, I have to lean it out to get it to start & then richen it up again to run it right. I'm hoping that it's just cuz it's a new motor. I'm on tank #7 today.
For my break in, I ran 3 idle tanks on the vert rich side, cooling down between tanks. Then tank #4 @ 25% throttle bursts & tank #5 to #7 @ 50% throttle bursts. Today it seemed to start somewhat easier, but I still had to lean out the LSN prior to starting.
Dude I still come to this video every now and then considering I'm fairly new to the hobby and always refreshes my mind and helps a lot thanks buddy
best LSN tuning guide video on youtube, tones of info and examples of right, too lean, too rich, great pinch test demostration as well.
thanks jthornley12 :)
I'm new to nitro rc and am totally lost. Your videos are helping me find my way. Thanks a bunch.
Thanks a lot for this video! I had been having severe difficulty starting my Savage XL ever since I bought it. Using your vid I was able to recognize the problem right away (low speed was way too rich). I leaned it out and now it starts with ease and I get great throttle response!
I have watched many videos and not one of them made sense to me until I watched yours THANKS lol my nitro rustler is running great
this kid is better than me at nitro stuff and has taught me a thing or two and im 4 times his age.
so anyone out there who has a problem with his video's simply dont watch them.
thanks jthornley your doing a great job keep it up.
just ignore the haters they're just jealous that you know more than they do
Great video buddy. Im breaking in and tuning my Revvo 3.3 today and this help alot. Top work.
Have fun! :)
Your videos are so helpful my nitro car was passed down to me and am now learning how to tune and to keep it running for a long time and I thank you for all your help
Thanks a lot dude ... the pinch test was new to me and helped me a lot. Thanks from a 35year old german nitro noob !
Good job on the tech video RC-Madness! This should help anyone learning how to get into nitro RC.
Ok sounds good J. I will give that a try. i watched your videos on how to tune the engine and i learned very much from them. They're a lot better than the others i found on youtube with the demonstrations and what not. Thank you!!
I was having some issues with my new nitro engine and this vid helped me loads! Keep up the great vids mate!
Really informative man. I've been having problems with this but you explained it really well. Thanks
wow bud , you are half my age and taught me something , great video great advice , i do beleive you just saved me from having to buy a new engine , thank you .
Well done youny man! Not only are you knoledgable, more importantly, you have the ability to explain things so a noob to tuning rc nitro like me can understand and grasp. Only recomendation would be to actually show us your making adjustments by sound with the engine running...how you found the right spot on lsn and idle.
ive since watched your other vids you posted and seem to have sorted my truggy now so thanks alot for posting the vids they helped me out loads!!
That is the best video I have ever seen on nitro. Very well done
One of the best nitro tuning vids
You did a fine job young man .I bet your parents are proud of you .I would be .
Thank you for your kind words :)
Your so very welcome young Man
Well it depends entirely on how the engine is running :) sometimes you have to tune the LSN first as it simply won't run to tune the HSN.
This makes perfect sense now. Well done.
Thanks, i blew a glow plug first, but then everything was right!! Awesome video bud!!
I think I understood most of it. Nice explanation and demonstrations of what is being explained. Saludos!
Thanks man this video helped me out I been trying to turn my nitro on for 2 days I saw ur video and my car runs perfect
absolutely brilliant m8. you know your stuff! u just saved the life of a CEN GX-1, my fella was about to throw it at a wall until he came across ur videos lol.
thank you very much! x
jess =]
best video i've seen until now !
Great video, learned more from this than the TRAXXAS video! thanks little man!
Dude omg thanx a lot. My ofna hyper ss wouldn't start unless I held the throttle all the way down and once I let go it would shut off. It started doing that when I richened the low speed needle and it shut off. From then on I couldn't get it start without holding the throttle. Great video dude
Awesome! happy tuning mate
Great video! Well done. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for the comment :)
Well said sir. I've watchecd a few videos on tuning and this has to be the easiest to understand. Thanks.
old video.. but VERY useful THANKS... I have never tuned it because manual recommended not to -.-* it runs much better now, and starts much easier thanks again!
Great video Lad!! I learned everything I needed to know my friend good job!!
Great vid , was having problems with bogging and this vid help me solve it .
Cheers pal
best vid on here about setting your traxxas, very helpful! thanks young fellow
cheers for this video matey,will help me tune my savage 4.6-keep up the good work,and posting good videoes..
I just finished the 4 part videos and now I got my deploma as a nitro rc champ. lol. Anyway I learned a lot and I'm new to nitro I like nitro now more than electric.
I have watched lots of your videos so thank you very much for taking the time to make them and great job! Ignore the haters and trolls they are just jealous and miserably bored. Your videos are very informative and helpful. Thanks again!
Thanks for your kind comment :)
well done young man you sorted my problem out thanks keep it up
Great video. I'm struggling to get a good tune with my nitro but I think I got it now
bigger motors tke a little longer to shut down when pinched ,but when you have stable idle and good acceleration you have a good low speed screw setting !my low speed needle is 1,3 mm out !on my mgt 8 monstertruck !good imformative video !
Well hopefully when I try that tomorrow it will sort my running problems out. Wish I found these vids ages ago. So nice to hear an English voice instead of American. Well done mate i've already subscribed and watched about 20 of your other vids
Great video. Really helped me a lot, thanks JThornley :)
Your video Helped me and saved me to travel 400kms to get it tuned
nice vid , I was having that prob on my tmaxx , now I need a good break video thnxx
I bought a used tmaxx with a 3.3 and it constantly overheated and was really accelerated that was my first nitro i think this video might be the answer. Thanks time to bring it out of retirement
Good to know!
Such a fantastic instructional video. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Your vids are supper helpful, I subbed!
Hi , what can i say , best ever , keep up the good work .
Very well put young man. Thanks.
I'm tuning in the cold season right now. more oxygen in the air. keeping the kit warm before use, and heat guns are my friend.
Keep it up. Peace.
Thanks mate. I know this is an old video. But a really good demonstration.
You're welcome :)
wicked running like a beast thanks j
Good i could not understand the video at the first view but after watching different videos about pinching the hose now i got it. Cool!!
brilliant video.. learnt loads.. Thanks. .
This kid is better than most of the adults on TH-cam. Like if you agree!
this video really helped me thanks man!
Your great got mine going after watching this video
Great video. Goes to show that you shouldn't judge someone's knowledge based on their age. Well done.
Thanks for watching :)
Great video, helped me tons! Thanks.
thanks, replacing the glow plug fixed, it runs great now!
Thanks for your support :)
Excellent video
Great and very useful video !
Thanks again
You are welcome!
This video helped me out a lot thank you
Thank you so much my tmaxx was cutting off after i take the glowstarter out now i can fix it thx so much 5 stars *****
Mine 3 days ago on my savage it was to lean on the low and I melted the piston ordering a piston thanks to you vid I know what I did wrong, but you vids are very helpful thanks
Very good video. Thanks!
great vid i have a thunder tiger s50 i guess the same applies very usefull all i need is a hight speed one now thanks mate very good
It's those R/C Nitro pull starts. Great way to do a work out
@rcfreak96 well any area of the Fuel line is ok. Just remember to pinch the same part every time for accurate tuning. I would recommend you putting a line on the fuel tubing with permanent ink to mark where to pinch it every time.
Hi I would like to start by saying your videos have been very helpful to me in the past and helped me set up my last nitro car. I have been running a thunder tiger sledgehammer for 6 months which has been working great and easy to tune. I have just picked up a tomahawk mx and am having a bit of trouble starting it. I have been breaking it in (its been through 4 tanks of fuel now) but have been having trouble starting it since. When I pull the cord the engine starts then stalls instantly.
Thanks, great video my tmaxx just revs super high when started n wheels creep a lot. Trying figure it. Will try this.
Damn good job. That makes it very simple
@ScarabChris No problem :) A good choice as well, in time for snow! Have fun
nice vid,
this helps me alot to tune my own engine :)
thnx!
@Kill3rAnth no problem, thanks for your comment and view :)

Nice vid! Thanks brotha! I’m running into problems bogging down at full throttle. Trying to get it right
You're welcome
Right sorry got it to tick over for about a min then I pinch fuel line it took 4 secs to cut out . Also now the wheels are not spinning out of control . How can I test this more to see if I have done ir correctly ? I have a kyosho inferno 7.5 sports 2
