Really enjoying the nitro stuff Razor! Not many do it anymore and it’s a shame, great to see a more known channel giving it the spotlight it deserves!!
Just FYI the laser on an infrared thermometer is not the actual part that reads the temperature. It's just a laser pointer. If you want to get the actual temperature down in the glow plug hole take the little domed part That's either above or underneath the laser which is the actual sensor end Stick it directly on the top of the head pointed down into it.
I have the same buggy mostly stock except for mp9 sway bars front and back definitely a big improvement. I put a dynamite backplate that will fit those engines with a bump box. Fun ripper for sure. Let’s make nitro great again!
I played with RC a little bit in 2008. It was fun but I dropped the hobby due to limited time. I recently started thinking of coming back to this. Can someone explain to me why nitro is getting so much hate these days? Back in the old days nitro and electric were more or less on the same footing - both had their advantages and disadvantages.
Electric gained popularity but nitro is making a come back. I’ve been out of the game for almost 20 years and just recently purchased this kit to try out off road at our local tracks. Can’t wait to get back in the hobby.
I just bought a used one. Guy couldn't get it running. Got a pretty good deal on it. The front desk behind the flywheel is bad, found it doing an air leak test. Got a new bearing and seal on the way and 2 new clutch bell bearings hopefully that does the trick.
these videos aren't that great for the channel, but sometimes you gotta do what makes you happy. thinking about getting a race kit, but the nearest 1/8 track is pretty far away and not open very often, so not sure. we'll see though.
I want to get into nitro for longer practice sessions. I can't be sure based on this video, but I think my 8b4.1 E would whoop the thing, but at such a low price for the chassis. One could add to it to enhance offvthe line speed. Question??; is it that your tires are breaking traction when you get on it from dead stop?
The ke engines run so well for rtr and tune so easily. The inferno series are amazing values. I like my inferno neo buggy and USA-1 nitro, but overall I think my neo st truggy is my favorite nitro basher. My traxxas tmaxx 3.3 engine runs terribly, tune does not hold and overall the traxxas is over complicated with the silly easy start. The neo st also out handles it and has been more reliable. Seems odd to compare my truggy to a monster truck but the tire size is not that far off and the neo st can handle the same terrain as my tmaxx, so....
What do you think about the engine temp? Would it be ok to be sitting around 160-180? I have the same buggy and noticed it runs too cold compare to the other nitro engines..🤔it runs perfect and I can’t lean it out more than it is but still runs cold.
They need to break the engines in at the factory. That is a stupid amount of time to waste just to make it run correctly. Would be cool to take it to a track and see what you think of it.
Can you imagine a manufacturer taking that "stupid amount of time" to break in all those engines? It just ain't happening! And, if they did, expect to see a significant increase in price and most people are not willing to pay that! The work involved is a small price to pay for optimal performance, though! 👍
@@BMfins Nah, dude, I think you're expecting too much. The problem is no one wants to put in the work these days. Electric has pretty much raised expectations for performance, reliability and ease of use! Still, there is NOTHING like the sound and smell of a Nitro engine, screaming down a straightaway! I think you're seeing a resurgence with nitro and I expect that will grow in the next few years 👍.
@@BMfins No manufacturer has ever done that or ever will, nor should they. The reality is that the infrastructure required to produce all these parts is a far bigger endeavor than someone sitting on their couch at home usually realizes. Adding the fuel and man-hour cost to break in each engine individually would be ridiculous. It doesn't take that long, this 10-tank method is a little on the safe side, realistically, 3 or 4 tanks is usually just fine. If you don't have the patience to spend a few hours on the break in, maybe nitro rc cars are not for you. I'd suggest an electric kit.

I'm a late bloomer, but glad a few companies are still making nitros.

Good tip, didn’t know that, thanks! 🙏
@@RazorRC you're welcome:)
That tune is perfect I'd say, nice crisp throttle response, low idle and a screamer at full throttle, you got this nitro stuff down man
thanks, I'd like to take credit for the tune, but most of it is the kit! I could never get my Revo 3.3 to run this well!
That's awesome bro nitro not easy il say good job razor rc
Looks Great!! running good too.. always want to see some trail of smoke when running it looked spot on. can't wait to see it in the dirt!
thanks for checking out the video Shen!

@@stevenkarapetyan I’m in same place. Getting back in after 23 years. Quite different now but going nitro ground and electric and gas on water.
Picked one up for a RC client hopefully he enjoys his vehicle going to stock these in very good value you can always install a bigger engine
I love my nitro buggies. Cool to see you playing with a fuel powered RC.
Looks awesome, probably should have got this instead of the Losi 8ight rtr for my first nitro
Why is that?

Good choice following the Tessmann break in method. There's an old saying that goes something like "12 tanks will make it last for 12 gallons"
Man your getting the hang of nitro. I told you when you got your first nitro you are a smart guy. Can't wait for more videos
Thanks! Everyone helped out with tips when I was starting out, so big thanks to the viewers! 🙏
i have a limited edition one, came with ke25 engine, i love it , noise and smoke😁
so much fun!
Awesome been wanting to see this buggy.
You really hooked mate :)
The rtr engine in this looks to run superb, will you invest in some more upmarket kit soon with a more professional engine?
these videos aren't that great for the channel, but sometimes you gotta do what makes you happy. thinking about getting a race kit, but the nearest 1/8 track is pretty far away and not open very often, so not sure. we'll see though.
Nice work that engine is sweet I have the mp9 which is a best nitro buggy buy for rtr and it looks like the same engine
Thats a phenomenal rtr for the price point.
I might have to get back into nitro.
After 20 years I bought this kit to try out off road nitro. Let’s bring it back.
nobody will believe it, but this thing kicks pretty much any other $350 RTR's butt out there
I keep thinking of possibly getting the later Kyosho MP9e evo electric buggy, but cant make my mind up.
I actually originally wanted the MP9 TKI4 nitro, but it was hard to find. I’m sure the electric would be excellent!
Awesome stuff great break in and nice tune
Sworks Apolo rtr is only like 2 generations old. Why would they do that. To sell old parts? Also is the bearing rumbling
Great run mate! What impression does the quality of the transmission, gears, diff leave on you? Are they durable? Cheers!
Often imitated but never duplicated.

I’m definitely going to have to consider the NEO ST!

I see you got bit by the bug, your hooked with Nitro
Cool car bro!👍🏻
It sure is!

Yep and this is another reason gas is a dying rc.

How's the b6.4 going?
Review will be out in the next couple of days, Friday at the latest.
What percent of fuel were you using
I’m using 20% nitro, 12% oil
@@RazorRC I’m getting an Inferno Mp9 and I’m going to be using 20% fuel 14% oil
Cool🙋🙋🙋🙋🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪
add a mp9 45t spur metal gear more speed your stock gear is made of plastic
Faster than your HPI for sure.
definitely!
