I love your videos! Way to let those snowflakes have it! I just stumbled across your channel and subscribed in like a min. Bonus that your a fellow Canadian. Cheers
Hey thank you very much for subscribing I really appreciate it and yeah unfortunately there's a lot of lame people out there these days! Haha what part of Canada you in?
Good trick to get those bearings out get it on hot plate like you cooked pancakes on said the block on end set it to 400° walk away go do something for 10 minutes or so come back in the bearings would be laying on the hot same goes for putting them in freeze the bearings lay the block on the hot plate they drop in and when everything comes temperature in nice and tight
Have you ever pinched a sleeve? I have three I didn’t throw away and I have been meaning to try it. One guy used a small band clamp, heated the crap out of it and quenched it. Seems like a hell of a trick.
If sometimes you can buy pinching tools on eBay but You have to make a sleeve ring so you will get it round and pinched in the right spot otherwise the piston will never go all the way into the cylinder again. It's something I'm gonna do some experimenting with at a later date
Some a** clown that says that if you use paper towel on any kind of engine parts they will instantly self destruct the guy was retarded probably a locked of Earth as well...
Fantastic video. Let me first I love the humor 100%. I had a nitro engine sitting too long due to a move. Took it apart and got some measurements to replace a few internal parts. Can you recommend a good supplier in US for bearings, piston rod and sleeves? New sub by the way.
Hey thank you very much for the subscription I really appreciate it and could you be a little bit more specific on what engine it is exactly you're dealing with because sometimes a lot of these things cross over but I need to know of the make and model! And Raw negative humor is my thing haha 👌🏻🤣🍻
@thebug4046 Thanks for the response. I'm working on a Fusion X engine. I can't tell which variant it is there's no other visible markings to identify it. Rctech page has a long thread showing various models. I'm looking to replace bearings and piston/sleeve. Hope that helps
@@charvelgaming2975 I haven't heard of that model before but what I can suggest is going on Facebook and looking for the Nitro RC enthusiast group I am an admin in there post up your photo and I'm sure one of us can figure it out! See you there!

Excellent video bug. I find your humor hilarious. The part about not discriminating and hating everyone equally reminds me of an ex coworker.😂 Use a screwdriver on all pull starters when removing them? They’re all alike as far as that goes ( beginning of video)? Feel free to throw all them little helpful hints out there you can.
Hey man it's just a good idea because sometimes they can come apart on you and it's kind of annoying when that happens especially if you're not really good with rewinding them it's just a safety precaution really
I use purple power cleaner to you and to clean my nitro engines in my parents it works fine it works great it does not hurt and get some nice and shiny and maybe so don't be so rude
I'm not being rude in my video I'm just stating that some people don't know how to use certain products and will destroy their parts and come back and complain about it.
heh.. just googled a engine i had , and guess whos video popped up ..bug! , nice ... what part # is the piston kit for this? is it still available? mine actually runs but i was wondering if parts were available
Hey man thanks for watchin! And order the piston and sleeve kit pin and rod for the Dynamite big red. It's an upgrade for the 28P3 engine. No modifications required. amain hobby should have everything you need. The SH 28P3 is basically the exact same as the dynamite big red. Different look and Different ports that's it.
Bit of an odd question... and I would prefer to ask people who really spend time with nitro motors to get opinions from... I have a Cen Genesis 7.7 motor finally gave out and while i will replace the piston and sleeve at some point, at the moment I have all kinds of nitro motors but little funds to order replacement parts. I was going to ask if you or anyone else watching could give an honest opinion... I have 3 motors I have been thinking of using as temp replacements to enjoy the truck again. I have an Axial .32RR, a Losi 454, and an Ofna .32. Do you think any of these will have the.... clout? to push a truck that big?
I'm not sure exactly what you're dealing with here so the best thing to do would be share pictures and videos in the Nitro RC enthusiast group on Facebook I'm an admin in there answer the 3 questions I will see you there that's the easiest way to get help. 🍻🤘🏻
@@thebug4046 yeah but truth be told the way I'm looking at it is there isn't really a 100% correct answer. It's something that is open to opinion as much as experience. The Cen is a brute of a truck in size and weight and because of that the motor had to follow suite.. and when moving away from stock its a mix bag, same say it should have come with a completely different setup some back the stock as it's tried and true.
JUST a curious question…will a heat gun have the same effect heating a block to remove bearings or do you need direct flame ,,like the butane flame you use? I have both. Thanks….
Man, ALL your videos are so helpful, I'm one of them old guys that's been in the Rc world since the early '80's. Just got into nitro and every question I have had you have answered in your videos. Love the humor too. I have a question for you. I recently acquired a Redcat Hurricane xtr with the SH 28, I found an abc sleeve and piston and a rear bearing, however I cannot seem to locate the front bearing - where can i find one please? Thanks You Rock.

What's up? And hit me up on fartbook I'm an admin in nitro rc enthusiasts group. You will see a lot of the same videos and posts as here. The big red is very easy to re&re it's the same process as the p3 same bearing crank etc.
@@thebug4046 Most of the parts are not available for big red right now so doing a sh 28 pro hybrid but cannot find anything about what shims and rod and wrist pin. Got a good used block case and cooling head with crab and not internals or button head. Have most but running into a wall about the shims.
This engine is for my HPI savage X 4.6 there is no big block tmaxx stuff available anymore. And it was expensive to do it because nothing fits since everything has to be upgraded in order to made it work. The best thing to do is return that engine and just buy an OS 21TM it is designed for Traxxas cars and trucks. Just be sure it says for Tmaxx! Because the revo engine is different! The tmaxx engine is plug and play no modifications or special parts required and it's an os so it's already better quality
@thebug4046 I thought so, but I'll just upgrade my 1/8 Buggy then. Swap my newer engine in that instead. I guess nothing was all lost lol. I did just buy the OS 21TM for the tmaxx for sure. Just wanted a something a little better than those 3.3 traxxas makes that are kinda crap. 320 bucks later, but hey nothing is all lost. All still win for me anyways since I was gonna upgrade my 1/8 Buggy that has the 3.0 kyosho. Thanks again for the reply!!
@@dancj10 you will like the 21tm they run awesome much better then the 3.3 and they last a really long time! Just take your time on the break in the os is a tight engine and takes more than then 6 tanks Traxxas says to use. Preheat is a must!
The 18 with the ABC upgrade is a really great runner and yeah I agree coming up with content can be difficult there's nothing worse than forcing it. it's like trying to force a fart it can be shit. 🤣
As for the bearings did you factory SH Bearings and are they good? or another brand, heard in another one of your videos that Fast Eddy bearings quality is going down hill. What brand bearings would you recommend. Thanks!!!
I used a ceramic rearbearing in a steel front NTN front and Acer rear. And yeah I don't run Fast Eddie anymore unless there's something like wheel bearings I do not put them in engines I've had too many failures and seen too many come apart they are very soft cheap stainless steel bearings which do not put up with the extreme heat and rpm of these engines
@@thebug4046 I definitely will have to change mine out then I don’t want any catastrophic failures to happen, thanks for getting back to me, I appreciate it. Killer content as always just got done binge watching your videos haha
