You have been a great help. I live in Ohio, we’re running indoor now. I can’t wait to run my MP-10 this spring. There are still a few things about tuning my engine I need to dial in and you’ve gotten me several steps closer. Please keep sharing your knowledge, because the only other way to learn other than running , is by getting the correct advice, and seeing what applies, and works for you. Thanks again.
You definitely must come to the Kyosho Masters in France mate. It is one of the most enjoyable race ever 😎🤙 Cheers for that video and all you are doing for RC !!! We really need persons like you and Mick Cradock to make our hobby growing.
Thank you for this. I can rebuild the motor in my gsxr but I've never even seen a nitro motor before. I'm thinking about getting something for my son and myself to play with so I'm trying to learn beforehand. I appreciate it.
The four things that need to happen to make an engine run no matter if it is a 2 stroke or four stroke is ....suck squeeze bang blow. 2 strokes suck and squeeze on one stroke and bang and blow on the second where as 4 strokes do it on each individual stroke
The way to tune is always the same. at some point it won't idle with such a small idle gap, and you have to increase it. Otherwise you tune it the same way. When the engine doesn't want to idle and the tune is inconsistent, that is a good sign to know to change the piston and sleeve. If the engine is loud with a metallic sound, it means the rear bearing is bad, and needs changing.
Can’t wait for the day when we have electronic fuel injection on nitro RC cars!! And a bead lock RC tire and wheel combo to eliminate the freaking tire glue!! But thanks for explanation of nitro engines! I always wondered how it actually works 👊👍
4:21 Deflagration not Explosion !? Chemical reaction / Burning at subsonic speeds ? Explosion is not until reaction (shockfront) higher than speed of sound, why explosions, as in pipe bombs etc, so dangerous ! Deflagrations and Stoichiometry are our friends :)
How does the glow plug stay glowing if there is no current when running? Isn’t it compression ignition much like a diesel and the glow plug simply helps get the ignition process started? Seems like a 2-stroke compression ignition engine. Not new to RC but new to nitro as of a few months ago.
Hey man great video. Have you read the news from EFRA about the new European 2021 rules regarding nitro menthane which will force us to run 16% in our engines.
Very good. Now i understand what my father did not master in late 70s when i was little kid. We must have nitro car he said. But it never worked ok. He was tuning engine all the time. Then i could drive for 1min, then tuning again. I am all in on electric cars :)
I’m sorry to say mate but you’re actually wrong it’s a compression ignition not spark ignition the glow plug just get it going. think about it how the hell is that glow plugs still glowing when there’s no electricity 🤣🤣🤦♂️ it’s like a diesel mate that’s why it’s called a glow plug and not a spark plug big difference
No, YOU are wrong. Except this part "the glow plug just get it going." Exactly what I said. But then the glow plug stays glowing due to this: "When the platinum in the element comes in contact with the methanol in the fuel, there is a catalytic reaction between the two. This heats the platinum while causing the methanol to ignite. This is the foundation upon which the entire nitro hobby is built." rogershobbycenter.com/allaboutglowplugs
Dude! These videos are exactly what we need to progress the sport 👌🏽👌🏽
Very well explained!!! You didn't talk too fast and that made it also easier to understand. Thanks!
Thank you Joseph!! My 5 bucks monthly is going somewhere, excellent!! I love my Black edition cars and all the support thanks again 🙂
Excellent idea!
I like the fact of the big long video and the small video 👌
... and the little one makes you want to watch the long video 👏
Thanks!

I just bought a nitro, so all of these videos are helping me understand this more. Thanks!
Greatly informative video’s u have done ✅ we need as much good information as possible keep it up man 👍🏾😎
Great job! Good introduction to tuning👏
What a great vid, great job!
Great content jq !!! 🇫🇮 💪 😉
Yeeeessss Bro , keep it up the vids are the best
Thank you for this. I can rebuild the motor in my gsxr but I've never even seen a nitro motor before. I'm thinking about getting something for my son and myself to play with so I'm trying to learn beforehand. I appreciate it.
This the video we need. Thank you.
Wow this is a great video well done

Awesome video
I wonder with the tech we have nowadays if we could have a O2 sensor on the exhaust to find the Stoichiometric ratio easily and accurately.
Nice video! Is important edit the long video abou tuning with the correct information about humidity and oxygen.
You cant replace videos on youtube. A pop up, fix in description and a corrected video is enough
Excellent video! Is it possible for you to explain when compression gets low how to tune or when to replace internals?

Is this the same guy that does the van techics?
I guess they should create some type of turbocharger to make these engines capable of running on unleaded fuel
this video is going to save your engine .
We're can I watch the 1 hr video awesome dude cheers for the info

There’s always one.....
Can explain how to tune the mid needle?
Yes, watch the full video ok my channel

No it stays glowing due to the heat
Catalytic reaction of fuel and oxygen keeps it glowing

Yes I have. Not good!
Ebuggy is the way of the future

JQ can you give us your thoughts on this please?
