Its good to see a nitro tutorial vid were the speaker actually know what he (or she for those female rc enthusiasts out there) is talking about. Good work!
Hey. Thanks for these tutorials on how to set up the carnage. I have just reacently bought one thanks to you videos and i was able to set it up instantly
Well this tutorial is based on the GO 18 engine which recommends 3-5 seconds. Although the concepts are the same and 3-5 seconds is good for most engines, the difference in 2/3 seconds would be a very minor adjustment on the LSN anyway :)
Hi JT. I'm going to return to RC after a 27 year hiatus (which means I know nothing at all :) In a few months I intend to buy the FTX Carnage. I've found your videos to Very informative to me. Thanks.
I did the same after 20 years bought my boy the carnage which sparked my love of RC cars broke it in and tuned it through JT's tutorials had lots of fun with it so bought another for myself they are great for the money
Hello, i am wondering, how long the batterys in both the reciever and the control last? I have build in my ftx carnage now with the same batterys and am wondering when i need to change them so it does not go plowing into a fence! Thanks
Hi great video, the screw for the carb and the and the plastic clip was removed on the rc I collected today can you talk me though if I will need any adjustment or is just simple as screw it all the way in
So when in doubt just put everything back to stock settings and try again right? Do all engines give you the factory reset in the manual? Or are all engines relatively the same.
Nah not a problem :) Although you might be surprised to learn that when these things go wrong with cars under warranty, even though I didn't pay for the car, I still expect parts to be replaced by manufacturer free of charge. one is in the post to me, even though I won't use it. I'm using HPI ones now hehe
You have to tune it frequently to avoid getting the ole bog,when u first get it,while its being run in,after its been run in,whenever u get a different batch of fuel,when the fuel starts going stale,if u put more oil in it,if u put less oil in it,if its overheating,if its a hot day,if its a cold day,if someone farts the wrong way e.t.c,and then u get rewarded with a solid 10min runtime before having to refuel and deal with a pull starter again and again,plus stalling upside down,great fun
Hope this doesnt soynd real stupid, i own a carnage nt, and its idleling has messed up so i garhered i would put it back to factory carb settings. When its says 3 1/4 turns does this mean 3 and 1/4 turns or 3 1/4 turns, and is 1 turn a full 360 degree of the needle or just 180?
When I start mine up it starts fine. But the revs are to high. I don’t know how to tune the controller on the car to turn the revs down as the car moves on it’s own
Is tgus tuning from factory settungs? as i cant stop wheels turing on idle. Im using a stand! Should i tune car on the floor then follow everything on this vid
I noticed u didnt bother with a temp gauge. Is this cos ur very experienced at nitro or do u still suggest using them? Ive had my tomahawk bx running but one little movement of either of the screws and it decides to have a hissy fit and not start again lol. I thought maybe its overheating after the first run?
Definitely, I had a tomahawk St and all I had was trouble with the carb, so get the ftx carnage :) (sorry if late reply I can't see how old comments are)
Hi I’ve got Ftx carnage nt same as the one that your use in, haven’t long bought it of somebody, but for what ever reason I can’t get fuel to go through the pipes and into the carburettor taken pipe of exhaust and blow through it but still no fuel going in can someone please help as son getting one for Xmas and want to use together many thanks
Mike Skinner I had the exact same problem out the box when I bought mine last week. It was my fuel cap not shutting properly so there wasn't any pressure in the pipes whilst trying to prime it. I turned the screw out underneath the cap with an Allen key to slacken the o ring and now it shuts nice and snug! Hope this helps
Good luck fingers crossed it solves your problem! It was really frustrating when I couldn't get mine going and felt like giving up, but after finally getting it started its been amazing fun ever since!
@jthornley12 hey have you worked on a Thunder Tiger EB4 S3? I own one but find tuning and modification a bit of a pain, although its a great buggy, very fast indeed!
I have a nice 1\5 $cale playing in the snow I love it two pulls from the snow full tank of gas but running a little warm at the head I just need to take body off
christopher lueras Yeah i know how you feel. Just do research next time you listen to someone on the internet. I recommend you sell it and do some more research into nitro rc. Learn the basics of tuning and trouble shooting. When you are confident you have learned enough see if you can get a hyper 7 or ss ( I have the ss and love it but the hyper 7 maybe more suited for a beginner like me or you ). You can get them second hand cheap but try look for one that has been kept in good shape. Trust me, A quality car will make you like the hobby again, The cheap one may have put you off and i understand that.
Ice bjorn block the exhaust or pinch the fuel line. Hope that helps. If when you block the exhaust and it dosnt turn off. You have an air leak which you need to find
Let the engine warm up. A cold engine does not run the same as when its tuned cause more heat helps the mixture flow and affects combustion. Heat it up and clean out the engine on the box or the stand. Do not tune it when its not warmed up. If its dying then slowly pull the throttle or squeeze the air supply line and give it small revs to clean it out and build some heat. Only then can you tune it.
Hey man . Love you vids and tutorials . I have hsp warhead and hsp monster . I have recently tried to mod my monster to 2 speed ( like my warhead ) yet when i do so the clutch bell does not spin freely . Everything lines up and fits into place but clutch bell is locked firm . Do you have any tips or tried this yourself ? Any help would be much appreciated . Thanks man . Ian.
check your bearings on the bell and the sprockets of the 2nd and or first speed also maybe you've damaged your diffs with the additional rpm from the gears
It seems to over Rev I’ve tryed Adjusting it I’ve done the trim on the remote some times it starts with the remote on and sometimes it will only start with the remote off turn the remote on it dies
LOL considering I sold it over 3 years ago, no. I don't have the room to keep cars! They go straight after review. The oldest car I have is the FTX Outrage which I bought only 3 weeks ago. All others go!
Newb alert! Hey guys bout to break in and tune my first nitro and I have one question... On the remote was he adjusting his dual rates or something? I noticed he did it when he was messing with the idle and I was just wondering exactly what was going on

The carnage was lots of fun
mine broke as soon as I took it out the box I've had it 4 a year
Kirito -Chan! Same I shredded a sprocket on the drive shaft lol. But part of the hobby
I did the same after 20 years bought my boy the carnage which sparked my love of RC cars broke it in and tuned it through JT's tutorials had lots of fun with it so bought another for myself they are great for the money
this was one of the most helpful. the low end tuning video saved me and the high end tuning video to
Second hand sale
Best videos ive seen comes to tuturiols keep it up
Glad you like them!
Im always gonna be a nitro guy, gotta love the sound of the engine and smell of the fuel somthing you dont get from a electric rc 😊 💙
I like the sound of nitro cars but I always had problems getting them tuned right
I have to get my friend to tune mine I just can't get it
The second time you pinched the fuel line the engine took a good deal more than 3-5 seconds to choke. Why didn't you retune the mixture then?
Probably because he didnt want to make a long video of turning some mixture screws
This is such a good tutorial, thx

The starter u used with the battery pack, where did you get that?

My inferno quite with fuel line in 3.5 seconds is it ok?
You have to tune it frequently to avoid getting the ole bog,when u first get it,while its being run in,after its been run in,whenever u get a different batch of fuel,when the fuel starts going stale,if u put more oil in it,if u put less oil in it,if its overheating,if its a hot day,if its a cold day,if someone farts the wrong way e.t.c,and then u get rewarded with a solid 10min runtime before having to refuel and deal with a pull starter again and again,plus stalling upside down,great fun
you get alot more than 10mins, amd usually after refueling they start within the first couple of pulls if its fine
It's a Prolux Glow plug igniter :)
Hope this doesnt soynd real stupid, i own a carnage nt, and its idleling has messed up so i garhered i would put it back to factory carb settings. When its says 3 1/4 turns does this mean 3 and 1/4 turns or 3 1/4 turns, and is 1 turn a full 360 degree of the needle or just 180?
hiya, what fuel dp you use to get this running? mine just cuts out
When I start mine up it starts fine. But the revs are to high. I don’t know how to tune the controller on the car to turn the revs down as the car moves on it’s own
what do you think to hpi trucks?are they any good
every what do you need to tune eny one ?
Hey, could you please tell me the carb settings? How many turns clockwise from all 3 screws been flush ? Thanks
lsn 3/4 about from close. hsp 2.5 turns from closed about. Idle 1/16 inch gap.
@jthornley12 out of the ftx carnage nt, ftx outrage and the hsp camper whitch one is best
Do you know how to tune a thunder tiger tomahawk st its always cutting out ive changed all screws and glow plug still no different
It took 8 seconds for the lsn for the pinch test?
Is tgus tuning from factory settungs? as i cant stop wheels turing on idle. Im using a stand! Should i tune car on the floor then follow everything on this vid
dfef frf no it’s not tuned from factory. DO NOT LEAN THE ENGINE DURING BREAK IN. turn the idle speed screw counter clockwise.
What fuel are you using mate
What are these like upgraded
Hi
Having repaired my boys carnage after a crash it now is stalling when you go to full throttle
Any ideas. I've tried adjusting the tuner
Any ideas?
It'll be too lean, try richening the high end needle
Thanks will try that. Is it clockwise to make it richer
No, Counter clockwise!
I really like your videos!
Yes
I just got the ftx carnage but I need help tuning it. It keeps overheating is well.
am I correct clockwise that is lean and out lean is counter clockwise
do you need to mix oil with the fuel
not of u buy pre mix he is probably using 15% nitro fuel
U mean 20%
I noticed u didnt bother with a temp gauge. Is this cos ur very experienced at nitro or do u still suggest using them? Ive had my tomahawk bx running but one little movement of either of the screws and it decides to have a hissy fit and not start again lol. I thought maybe its overheating after the first run?
Were did u buy that from
do you like this ftx carnage better than a tomahawk st
Definitely, I had a tomahawk St and all I had was trouble with the carb, so get the ftx carnage :) (sorry if late reply I can't see how old comments are)
Thanks for the upload!
Thank you for uploading this vid
I subscribe
They are, yes :) J

JT12's R/C Videos thanks

Thanks m8t, but that didn’t work but it seems like the o,ring no good so ordered a new 1, hope this works
Good luck fingers crossed it solves your problem! It was really frustrating when I couldn't get mine going and felt like giving up, but after finally getting it started its been amazing fun ever since!
If you put fuel manually in the carb and start the engine, does it stay running and force the fuel through or does it stall?
@jthornley12 hey have you worked on a Thunder Tiger EB4 S3? I own one but find tuning and modification a bit of a pain, although its a great buggy, very fast indeed!
I have a nice 1\5 $cale playing in the snow I love it two pulls from the snow full tank of gas but running a little warm at the head I just need to take body off
I love petrol powered ones too. Much easier than nitro :D
i wanna buy that glow ignitor,, how did u get it to work with a lipo battery? it seams to work really good great vid
I say bought, you know what I mean ;) sent for review
was u using optifuel?
J please tune my torro aha it's starting but keeps cutting out

What 2 speed transmission were you planning to fit?

Too soon to say.. Wait for the reviews of course.
I want to buy my first RC nitro what would you reccomend
Redcat racing shockwave
Nice
+christopher lueras redcats are very cheaply made and that is why they dont cost much. Hyper 7 or hyper ss either one has ny pick
+Axzix Very cheap mine is already broken. I cannot get it started now.

how do you turn the car off? i need to remove the glow plug to get it turned off
Ice bjorn block the exhaust or pinch the fuel line. Hope that helps. If when you block the exhaust and it dosnt turn off. You have an air leak which you need to find
hola amgo, cuanto vale un auto de esos en su pais?
If I have a high idle, am I running rich or do I wind out idle screw. Cheers nitro newbee
Hi Andy, it could be too Lean on the low end, or a too high idle. Lower the idle first (CCW). Only touch LSN if you have too :)
very helpful video
I just got a trx 2.5 motor was running fine yesterday now when i put the glow starter on the Damn thing wants to die after I take plug off
Let the engine warm up. A cold engine does not run the same as when its tuned cause more heat helps the mixture flow and affects combustion.

try putting your foot under it hold throttle down 25% for about 5 to 6 secends than take glow rench off
Nice
Thanks
good vid
