    The Reds carb is composite, but the entire internal assembly is aluminum, including the low speed seat and slide bore is all one piece. I am duly impressed with the quality and consistency of the Reds carb.

  • @vwbeetle5578
    @vwbeetle5578 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good clear and to the point. I agree with your video. I am a mechanic that deals with carbs all the time and this is just the same as a full size carb. These ppl that don't agree need to stick to efi fuel systems

    Good tuning guide. I think a lot of people get hung up on numbers and whether it's temperature or counting turns out on the lsn or hsn or having a .7mm idle gap, etc.... forget all that and tune for performance and use your ears and eyes to tell you if you're on the right track... which is essentially what they are doing here.

  • @nitrosomniak
    @nitrosomniak 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ok yeah i will tighten it more thank you for helping me out. Im into this sport two years now and still learning everything i can man i bet ive watched this vid 25 times now i just love the way that thing is tuned is that the 3 port or 5?

  • @PKpopdU
    @PKpopdU 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    the stuff around the fuel tubing is heat shrink tube.. we use that in order to keep the fuel line from cutting if someone lands on top of you (affectionately known as waffle stomp). If your filter is leaking, you need to use two pairs of pliers and cinch that dude down. The stuff on the needle housing is silicone sealant.

  • @PKpopdU
    @PKpopdU 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    yes.. it's good. We only use it for the first few tanks to get the initial polish on the piston sleeve, then it's up to you if you want to use it..

  • @denisdenis2034
    @denisdenis2034 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    THE ULTIMATE SECRET FROM WINNER RACER!! In all the videos I've watched about carburetor adjustments for nitro rc engines not a single one talks about the secret I'm about to reveal to you that makes the difference between first, second and third on the podium. The low speed must be adjusted richer than normal but the motor must still turn well between 1/4 opening and 3/4 because the needle in the center of the slide controls from idle to 3/4. From 3/4 to full trottle you can put the slide needle in your pocket and it wouldn't change the mix. The result is that when the engine is running full throttle and you release the triger quickly the engine wants air and fuel but the slide is closed so a lot of gas (and oil) goes into the engine and cools it down and lubricates it better. Think about this.. How many seconds do you keep full trottle in a race...2 or 3 seconds.. then you can adjust the high speed needle leaner than normal and gain rpm and horsepower and by releasing the trigger very quickly for a fraction of a second like before entering a curve it cools much more and the temperature of the engine will not have time to rise above 250 degrees and you have maximum power.

    • @vrcmag
      @vrcmag  ปีที่แล้ว

      The idle controls idle. It doesn’t control
      After that. Just how much fuel loads up off idle.

    Nice vid man, I've always thought those engines look like a piece of art (never got to see one in person yet though) have a few questions about it. How's tuning it, how's it hold a tune, and will it fit on a Revo with slight modification or does Team Orion make a engine for the Revo?

    • @123789timothy
      @123789timothy 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      buy the Os that is made for a revo. It will cost the same. Not to mention that Orion does not make a traxxas fitting engine. the Os is a direct drop in and tunes better then any engine on the market

    I have seen and herd the werks b6 pro engines matched with either 2013 for a smoother power band or 2058 for a bit more on top end power werks pipe I currently run the os .21 xz-b speed spec 2 but really not that big of a jump from the os xz-b max blue head from what ive ran. You will get great torque and rpm out of all the engines i mentioned.

    • @PKpopdU
      @PKpopdU 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You only want to run a cooler plug in very hot conditions, like above 100f.. otherwise we always run the same plug, Reds T5C. The Reds T5C is the best plug on the market, in my opinion, in terms of durability and heat range (hot). The engine should not stop running because of the wrong temp range plug, unless you are WAY off. It's more of an ignition timing thing to advance the combustion with a hotter plug vs. colder. If people can't decide, I usually recommend the colder range to avoid detonation and subsequent engine damage from pitting.

    @Kj16V 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Are bigger engines easier to tune than smaller engines? I had a 1/18th nitro truggy with an LRP Z1.2S (if that means anything to anyone. Basically tiny!). I tuned it pretty well in the end, but I found it very finicky to get "just right". It made me wonder if the more common size engines are easier to live with?

    • @PKpopdU
      @PKpopdU 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Kj16V I would say a larger engine is probably more stable on the tune. A small carburetor with bigger machining tolerance probably wont work as well. The .21 size engines are race bred, so the manufacturers spend a lot of R&D time on those engines, and generally have strict quality control.
