Cool to see your your location, lighting, arrangement and enthousiasm is growing again with every video! Only RC channel i watch everything of, always a pleasure to watch and i learn a lot. 20k here you come! Btw, i run my first nitro on 16% to be super cautious, but i'm thinking of running my 2nd nitro (Neo3.0) on 20-25%. Is it at all possible to switch from 16 to 25% with some tuning so i can run 1 type of gas? Thanks in advance!
i have a hsp but i went 20 nitro 14 oil to 25% and 9% oil. did richen low end as it was not getting enough oil but. other than that it was just general tuning its .18 (assuming u have a 1/10 small block nitro) but if u are gonna run the same fuel in a 1/10 and 1/8 dont go above 25%. bigger 1/8 scales can hold up to 30% or more but the small block wont.
@@adamlitho6448 Thanks man. I run the 16% on my .15 traxxas engine but i think i'm ready for a higher end feul and engine. (Both 1/10) In the end when i have a 2nd one i won't be scared to push the .15 engine anymore so we will see 😄
@@thefightingplumber just watch the oil content. traxxas fuel is crap because it has so much oil. go with a good brand where you live. i run vp fuels but do some research about the fuel. 9% is quite low but i run on concrete roads or very low cut compacted grass at my local soccer pitch which never really strains my engines. on the other side of this. 12% is good for general use but if its very tough thick grass or bigger 1/8 engine 14% oil is used. bigger engines need more oil. traxxas uses anywhere from 18 to 20% oil in a .15 size engine which is just way to much. all you need is 12%-14% oil as you are trying to stick to one fuel is good. if i was you i would grab 25% 12%oil fuel from a good brand which preferably is well known.
@@adamlitho6448 I will screenshot this advise 😁👌 I run 16% "Team Corally" atm for mostly onroad (because i wanna be carefull). I plan on running 25% Merlin with my Neo on and offroad, and later using the same on the .15 engine for pacticallity.
Haha....I love how you fast forwarded the much swearing job of doing the clutch springs!.....Good job as usual . And I ordered a Rovan 1/5 from Banggood using the code you supplied. its now here ....and omg its huge !
To be honest I don't find them too difficult, they're more difficult to get off than put on! Awesome. yes, it seems huge when you're used to 1/8 and 1/10!
Hi, loving watching your vids. I have a old virus 2.0. Where are you finding parts for the car? I'm scared to break anything! Atm I need side protectors. Thanks for any help
Great video again. Would love a 1/8 nitro buggy, Kyosho Neo looks good, use to race 1/10th electric mostly, for the best part of 20years. Like to try nitro for fun instead of high pressure racing.
Yes you would need to get that out of there. Even a small speck of dust could be disasterous. If that sleeve or piston gets scratched or grooved your done.
TheRCBiker: Hi I've got I small question for you, I've just bought a new NB16T as I'm just getting into my nitro rcs I've done the run in procedure and it's was working perfectly but yesterday my clutch stopped disengaging the gear, it won't just idle for me anymore just wants to drive without throttle, I'm not sure what it could be as I'm new to them, have a basic understanding but just wondering if you would have any ideas what it could be? Any pointers would be much appreciated.
rory linton I have an HSP Meteor (a similar 1/16 scale nitro car) and had the same problem. I spent ages trying to reduce the idle speed and still the clutch wouldn’t disengage. Eventually I took the engine out and removed the pinion/clutch bell and found the spring around the clutch had broken. As a result the clutch shoes would have nothing preventing them being thrown outwards and engaging drive. I fitted a new clutch and it’s now fine again. Might be worth checking if you’re confident the engine isn’t idling too fast.
Im not trying to be that guy but shouldnt the gear ratio be based on the power and rpm range of the engine n not what the manual says. Unless its the engine that came with it. What are your thoughts on this?
This is the engine that came with it, the Absima F349 is a rebranded Force 21 engine. The Virus used to come with the ARNE 21 engine, which was also a rebranded force engine :)
I quite like the FTX Nitro Torro. I've been in the hobby for 8 months now and looking for a nitro car, would this be ideal? and if so i might order one from DC models.. Thanks!
yes the Torro is a great car to start with. I don't think DC Models are up and running quite yet, make sure you click the link in the video description so you get notified when they're ready to ship!

You can switch but will need a retune :)
I like your new intro and outro. Didnt realise but I wasnt subscribed well that changes today. Keep up the great content.
thank you :)
I am so so happy i subscribed to your channel you all ways make everything interesting to watch you're the best keep up the good work👍😄
Thank you for watching :)
Great nitro car love the shop
Have you signed up for the email updates ? :)
Sorry I can’t not older only 14
Good luck with the new hobby store!
Thanks, it's not my hobby store though :D
Haha....I love how you fast forwarded the much swearing job of doing the clutch springs!.....Good job as usual . And I ordered a Rovan 1/5 from Banggood using the code you supplied. its now here ....and omg its huge !

Great video as always. Have you done or can you do a session on glow plugs , choice , variety etc? Keep up the top job, mate, regards
I don't think I have. Good idea though!
What are the factory carburettor settings for this please? I think I finally found identified my engine! 😀
It's just a Force 21 engine, you'll find them easily on google :)
Where did you get the side guards from? Need to replace mine on the same car as yours
How do you tell when a nitro engine needs a rebuild,love the channel.keep up the good vids
Hard to start, won't run right or lack of compression.
Good question! It'll lose compression. Usually when it gets hot it will struggle to restart
Won’t hold a tune, cannot idle properly, overheating, struggles to restart when warm
@@TheRCBiker thanks for the reply
I will check out DC models! 🤙
Thank you :)
Hi ya can you tell me what you think the basic factory settings would be on a team infinety nitro engine with a sliding carb
The factory settings will be in your user manual, or they're also on the Nitrotek Help desk website
Where are you based then as I think dc are in portsmouth
Hi, loving watching your vids. I have a old virus 2.0. Where are you finding parts for the car? I'm scared to break anything! Atm I need side protectors. Thanks for any help
I haven't needed any parts as I haven't used it
Great video again. Would love a 1/8 nitro buggy, Kyosho Neo looks good, use to race 1/10th electric mostly, for the best part of 20years. Like to try nitro for fun instead of high pressure racing.
The neo is a cracking looking car :)
Can the Force based engines be converted for use on a starter box? As in an non pullstart back plate?
I don't think you can get a backplate for it, but you could use a starter box and just leave the pull start or at least pull starter housing in place
This is correct. Although you might get lucky and find a bunp start backplate for a .21 Force engine that might fit. Ebay for the win lol.
Where would the Modelshop be based?
I believe it's in Portsmouth
Hi I was cleaning near my glow plug and a small wood chip fell on my piston is that bad?
I tried to get it out but I failed
Yes you need to get it out, take the cylinder head off and remove it. 10 minute job tops!
Thank you so much! Your channel gives me the boost of confidence I need to run and do maintenance on my first nitro rc car!
@@joelpiasentin7859 glad it helps :)
Yes you would need to get that out of there. Even a small speck of dust could be disasterous. If that sleeve or piston gets scratched or grooved your done.
Hi ya i don't know the size of my team infinity engine as i brought the car second hand and don't have a manual
It'll be a .18 most likely.

@@andrewe7314 cheers mate I'll give that a try, seems simple enough to take it apart
I agree, sounds like your clutch has broken
I agree sounds like a broken clutch spring. Or mabee a clutch bearing seized up Iv had that happen.

Ok. I see. Like I said I wasnt trying to be a troll just an idea that I had. Ty for clearing that up.
Does dc models ship to Norway?

That’s very slow servo.
It's only a cheap one. Receiver batteries might've also been a bit drained as started work on this car a few months ago now
