RC engine rebuild. Stage 1: disassembly

[jjoosshhyy1000]

when u took off the pull start what was that nut on the back of the engine

[adamrisborg]

Yes, 4 of them were removed to allow the starter case to come off.

Nice tutorial but not a big fan of rock..

you killed your pulls start !!!!! i have got the same thats annoying

[4d9er1]

when i give mine gas it dies what should i do

[highdeserthater]

richen your needles by turning them counterclockwise. then tune them very very lightly.

[rjohncastro]

how do u fix a low compresion problem?

[highdeserthater]

buy a new piston and sleeve is really the only way. how low? if its not too low then you can get loads of runtime out of it regardless of the compression. my dads buddy had one going for like 8 years on low compression. before it just died completely. lol

[holmesteadready]

good on ya man. how annoying are those starter springs!!

[Naturepheonix]

oh okay

PLEASE UPLOAD!

[Naturepheonix]

what brand is your RC?

[adamrisborg]

It's a Tamiya 1/10 scale (about 8-10 yrs old now).

...pretty terrible compared to what's out there today!

Adam.

[Naturepheonix]

do you actually have a website for it?

cuz its pretty good. looks good.

[Naturepheonix]

Where the fuck is stage TWO???????

[adamrisborg]

The contrast is really terrible... I'm trying to get it viewable at the moment. Might just be easier to pull it apart and re-record the assembly!

[Naturepheonix]

Oh thanks XD

don't mind my language.

[Naturepheonix]

is it alright to use lighter fluid? since it evaporates pretty well.

[mexme1]

is there something else i can use besides methylated spirits

[adamrisborg]

I'm sure most de-greasing agents will work equally well. I had Metho on hand, so it was easiest for me to use that!

[30GB]

have fun with that pull start

[adamrisborg]

Haha, yeah it was about as fun as solving a rubiks cube!

[nikoturunen97]

what song

[Naturepheonix]

My Sacrifice - Creed

[thenitro15]

what kind of exhaust is that good video man

[adamrisborg]

Hey mate. Thanks!

The exhaust is the standard Tamiya one that came with the car...

[thenitro15]

oh ok

[jdiver7]

good music

[t0adman]

The most amazing part is that none of it was done with an electric screwdriver! Yowzer.

[namspu1]

electric screwdriver lol why would u use that on an engine or the car r u that lazy or do u just like loosing screws

[t0adman]

@namspu1 Well no, I don't like losing screws but I do like to loosen them when I intend to. Why do NASCAR pit crews use pneumatic drills to remove wheel lugs when changing tires instead of a standard lug wrench? Exactly...

[coolwaters3]

o man! I was amazed looking at that. Did you fix that back? and is it working? lol

[adamrisborg]

Yeah, its all back together again now. Needed new gaskets, so I used gasket putty instead of buying new ones. The metho really did a great job cleaning everything out...

It now works beautifully again!

[phonedrn8]

nice video real good job

[adamrisborg]

cheers mate!

[orchyboy]

Good work adam, Love the time lapse...

For those who find this and decide to do it, notice that he doesnt soak any rubber, seals/o-rings - clean them but dont soak them!
