[piercen10]

[xVoltage21]

[tacotim1000]

my nitro buggy breaks are not working still and the car will stick down and keep going even if my i let the gas and when i hit the breaks it still wont stop

[aonixer6]

are the sh engines better than os engines??

[alishanmao]

@aonixer6 OS engines are best

[aonixer6]

@alishanmao ok :-) I will be getting the os .18tz-p for my revo!!

P.S. my friend has a volcano s30 and that thing rips man!!

[aonixer6]

@aonixer6 ooh wait not the volcano but the tornado :P lol I got confused

[ClouudN9NE]

HELP My brakes are fine at low speeds, but at high, they take an awfully long time to stop, i just cant find the screws im ment to tighten!

i have a HOBAO Hyper 7 Mach 28 engine ( 4.6)

[stoilas2312]

what your opinion about KYOSHO DBX

[alishanmao]

@stoilas2312 Kyosho are good cars but difficult to tune

[stoilas2312]

what your opinion about KYOSHO DBX ?????????????

[wildsideTC]

i just got a valcano s30 from you or whom ever it wont start i let it sit for three tanks with 5 minutes in between each tank my brakes dont work very dissapointed with the truck i wasted so much money for no reason when i caqnt even try it it only 4 days old

[alishanmao]

@wildsideTC kindly watch my video guides for nitro trucks, setup, priming, starting and tuning. This is one truck that sells very hot from redcat racing and 1000s of customers are very satisfied. Nitro trucks are not like electric. they need proper steps to follow to start and drive.

[youtobeman180]

Turn your idle speed screw ccw and make sure ur opening is 1mm open kk

[2009Stonewall]

Hi there i'm having problem with my build it your self acme condor nitro rc car. it's taking off when i start it? can anyone tell me how i can solve this problem thank you

alishanmao videos are awesome

[Ruffduty]

alishanmao i have tryed doing my brakes by your video but don`t work the metal plates are new any idias?

[alishanmao]

@Ruffduty maybe your drive cup which resides in the center of brake disc has come loose. take everything out and tighten the grub screw, 4WD will be back, brakes will be back

[Ruffduty]

@alishanmao it was loose works now tks ^^

[Ruffduty]

today my Brakes stop working the car was going to fast to stop it and boommmm

lost 4 wheels and a new shell the exhaust jumped out :(

[brodymunchow]

when i rev my buggy it doesnt have the acceleration it should what do i do

[moron32]

Ali, so the 'disc' in between the two 'metal plates' is attached to the drive shaft? and when i press the brakes the servo will push the two metal plates onto the disc which stops the car? if that is correct, why did my 'disc' come apart of the drive shaft?

[Tinksbabey1]

this was really good info

[SimpliztixX]

looks like metallic plates to me

[alshamsi4evar]

hi ali i have trex revo 3.3 my engin is ron can i but a pull enigen on it

[LalaSmack20]

ali..cn i have a rc nitro buggy pls...it's hard for me to get one

[mrashton123]

@LalaSmack20 LMAO, you scrubber get your own and leave the master ali to his work!

[cosmodon08]

like it but what fuel dose it take help me redcat

[alishanmao]

@cosmodon08 Nitro

[reinaldocrespo12]

hey i have the same. but i was fixing the brake when i accelerate the car the engine stops you can tell me how to fix it.. 

[alishanmao]

@reinaldocrespo12 check my new Engine tuning videos

[mundy009]

hi i have a nitro car like that and when i break it cuts out why is that please help me.

[alishanmao]

@mundy009 watch my video "Why Engine quits when braking"

[arh786786]

i have the same one how do you get the antena to stand up like that mine keeps falling

[alishanmao]

@arh786786 there is a place for antenna :D to fix in

[luqmaan93]

hey ali..

when i accelerate, lets say 1/4 throttle, the engine works fine but when i increase the speed at approximately 1/2, the engine stops!!

any suggestions??

[alishanmao]

@luqmaan93 check if there is too much smoke and stuttering before engine stops. in that case lean it out on HSN. if engine bogs and dies, then richen it out ;)

[luqmaan93]

@alishanmao ohh...!!!

thnxs....xD

ur 2 good!!

[restek36]

are you using hsp brand?

[nitrolord95]

when the brake is on should the car be able to move with more force or should it be stuck and almost impossible to move? please reply?

[alishanmao]

@nitrolord95 it should not move when the brakes are on

[provideotube]

Eveything is working for me, nice speed and engine however when i slow down and try to brake the engine seems to turn off, i checked the carb and its 1mm perfect just like you video.

Any suggestions.?

[alishanmao]

@provideotube try to leaning LSN just a tiny bit and test :)

[maxboya]

Wait...can nitro rc cars go reverse? or only forward?

[alishanmao]

@maxboya some of them do have 3rd Channel and transmission enabling them to go reverse by pressing a button on your radio.

[Umar805able]

I already tried everything and my brakes Keep waring out and breaking from the middle.

[alishanmao]

@Umar805able post a clear video then people can guide you

[airsoftrifles]

wow ur a rc freak

[UsernameAvailable809]

Im thinking in buying my first ELECTRIC RC truck and i would like to know if which one would you recommend me, the Vortex epx (standard) or the Vortex epx Pro. I would like a truck that has speed, handling and that can perform jumps with no problems.

[alishanmao]

@UsernameAvailable809 EPX pro is better

[d3dma1n]

My brakes dont even work.

[weeze209cuz]

i know you dont but its just exactly like the shockwave but i finally figured it out thanks man

[weeze209cuz]

i have a exceed rc buggy take look just like the shockwave but i dont want to mess things up when i take the central gear box out. i was wondering do you have a video for it

[alishanmao]

@weeze209cuz I do not work for Exceed. Contact Exceed tech support

[weeze209cuz]

i just found out that my disk brakes is wore out so how do i take it out properly.

[alishanmao]

@weeze209cuz just take the central gear box out and repair the brake system

[weeze209cuz]

i think i had my brakes to tight cuz they dont work anymore

[152mk]

hey ali, if i do not press anything on my transmitter, should my car still role or should the wheels have breaks stoppingthem from rolling.???

[alishanmao]

@152mk normally the car should stay still on idle speed.

[RichyJames95]

Does getting fuel into your brake damage it?? my brakes dont work and they are very grasy :( thankyou

[alishanmao]

@RichyJames95 its gets them oily and they do not work properly then due to slipping

[Drboy2595]

Can you do a video on how to break in this buggy because i got one and i want to break it in properly

[andriukaz24]

is it normal that exhaust spits with fuel

[NutsandGuts]

@andriukaz24 maybe the mixture is too rich?

[andriukaz24]

hi. got a problem. i've got acme condor buggy with infinity engine (i think). trying to break- in...now i've gon through 2 tanks,but with a lot of stalls!!! when i start the engine the throttle is high,engine gets hot very fast,exhaust spiting with the fuel...i cant do a tank without a couple of stalls...trying to work with needles but not very succesfull....PS (engine brand new

[alishanmao]

@andriukaz24 Team infinity engines are typical for this situation you described. they suck big time. just try to tune it and play with settings. and hopefully you will get lucky :) watch my tuning videos

[FisherPykel]

few things my brakes are loose so i tightend them up but i watch my servo when i brake it bary moves when i go full brakes it move about a 1mm if that

[alishanmao]

@FisherPykel you need to set the servo connecting rod to brakes :)

[FisherPykel]

@alishanmao what do you mean? re ajust the arms? btw its a hyper 7 TQ black

[KpeepRc]

my tornado s30 is only about a week old and i just bought a new throttle servo and now when i run it the brakes dont work WATS WRONG???

please help thx.

[alishanmao]

@KpeepRc You need to readjust brakes

[kolakwick]

hey ali my 1/10 buggi shockwave stall when i drive it like 2 min he run good about 1 to 2 min then he stall after a couples of speed run what happen ??

[alishanmao]

@kolakwick its probably over heating

make sure to run it a bit rich :) tune the

engine :)

[alxisrad50]

question, when I drive my shock-wave 20-30 feet away, it loses signal??????

[alishanmao]

its probably radio problem. Check antenna if its not broken or damaged. Check batteries and put in new batteries in car and your radio. make sure antenna on radio is fully stretched.

[crazytaxi38]

When you do this setting must have power of car and controler ON !!!!

[TheAwkwardBanana]

What is better for the Tornado s-30. Hot, Cold, Or medium Glow plugs?

[alishanmao]

Go for hot glow plugs without worries

[Ryino123]

i found them, its not the brakes thats causing my problem, something in the rear of the buggy is broken :(

and it just locks up the rear..

[alishanmao]

could be rear differentials? take the rear suspension out and see if rear gear box is ok

[Ryino123]

alishanmao,

i cant find my brakes on my buggy?

its not a shockwave.

i see the brakes on my truck but i dont see it anywhere on my buggy?

my brakes are completely locked. they just randomly lock once in a while..

can i get some help?

[alishanmao]

send me a clear picture of your car without shell from top to my alishanmao at gmail com email address and I can locate them brakes for you

[lowman994]

how fast can that rc car go

[traxxas549]

ya i know

[traxxas549]

i just got my shockwave and it goes 61.95 mph

[1521joe]

@traxxas549 ---daaangggg!!

[gickymobile1]

thanks

[qgk10]

nice vid

[MrAzwilson]

Very good video. Can u do a Video on how to tune rc nitro truck and send it me on my utube account

[Blaydrnnnr]

Yes. throttle servo works the brakes as well.. when you brake on the controller, the servor moves to lower the carb and apply the brake.

[darkbydawn]

intressting vid ;)

[stupidvideoalert4]

hay my four drive went out and only the front are spinning any suggestions?? also my brakes are not working.

[1rh1m]

hey ali can u do a video on how to install/ replace throttle/brake and steering servos because im having problems fitting in my new 1? thanks

[alishanmao]

well depending on time I will my man :D

[1rh1m]

ok thx alot ali!:-)

[jonataspc]

Hello Ali

Whats the best material for disk brake?

Graphite, fiberglass or steel?

[alishanmao]

I have had best braking with steel brakes ;)

[bigbumper123]

can u help me i done the brakes on my thunder tiger eb4 but it stops but slow and i need it to stop fast becuse im getting a failsafe

[alishanmao]

well you can still fine tune the breaks. Try adjusting the screws on the brake pads. also you can set the the screw on servo connecting rod, plus the brake connecting rod can be adjusted more.

[Nim718Ny]

Nice video Ali.

[alishanmao]

Thanks mate ;D

[bigbumper123]

can u make a vid on setting up a fail safe plz

[alishanmao]

First I need to get a fail safe hehehe. sure why not. I will get one from RedCat soon n do a video on it

[1rh1m]

thx 4 the vids ali keep it up! when i bought my rc car i couldnt push it long along the floor freely like u were doing in this video? it just came like that? is that a bad thing or a good thing?

[alishanmao]

Well sometimes cars come with tightened brakes. its not a biggie. you can always set them, fine tune them as per your requirements. Sometimes due to trim settings on radios the brakes become tight on new cars and when you turn radio n receiver on, they get to ok conditions ;D

[popcornreviews]

5 STAR!

[alishanmao]

Thank you sir :) appreciate your support always. By the way, I was going to reply your comment n accidentally clicked on Spam :( Sorry mate. but I will try to figure out to get it out of spam thing cheers again :D

[FakeVideos982]

that car is an exact replica of an Exceed-Hyperspeed

[alishanmao]

Or may be Exceed Hyperspeed is the exact replica of RedCat Shockwave or may be I know the secret but I can't tell you hehehe.

[gorrilazsfan]

My Sportwerks Mayhem will randomly brake when slowing down to turn and I have to wait a half a second or 1 second for it to stop braking. I replaced all batteries of transmitter and radio and I have failsafe I set up correctly. Why do my brakes go on randomly?

[alishanmao]

Check your servo if it's twitching. sometimes servos go bad n they will make this happen. you might wanna loosen the brakes just a little bit n see if it still happens.

[gorrilazsfan]

Well I can't really check the server now and run it because I lost control of it. It went full throttle and I had no control over it; went over a busy road and into a neigbors bushes and broke some shock towers. They were broken just waiting to be pushed over.

[LittleEmi3m]

my truck doesnt brake good but when i tighten the screws 1/8 of a turn he cant move. and when i pus the truck when the brakes are factory he brakes very bad. so can somebody help me.

[alishanmao]

I am going to do a new video on brakes setup n fixing n replacing brake pads n discs. give me few days my man :D cheers.

[LittleEmi3m]

k great.

[crazychicali]

@alishanmao please do it quick because i m trying to replace them but i have no idea how to do it

[theqman13]

IM A BIG FAN THANKS FOR YOUR VIDS!!!

[alishanmao]

[bykashka75]

[alishanmao]

lol Wait and see some heart pounding action pics of this buggy.

[hpitrophy]

can you help me my breaks dont work so i tightend them and now they rub so i loosed them a little and now they dont work is it because hpi servo's are rubbish or just im not doing it right i have a duel dick breaks hpi trophy if that helps

[alishanmao]

hey mate. I am sure you are not doing it right. Can you email me the clear pictures of your brakes on my alishanmao gmail box?

[hpitrophy]

what do you mean gmail? and opps i didnt mean to put dick breaks lol sorry i was tierd ive got the pictures but i dont know were to send them

thank you

david

[alishanmao]

I mean you can use my personal email address. That way I can send you pictures, receive pictures and guide you well. alishanmao a t gmail you know I can't type here.

[alishanmao]

Phew. good job. Always welcome. Any question, contact me.

[alishanmao]

Well mate. trust me, soon we will make redcat available at all places. we have just begun n we are improving in quality n service rapid :) I am sure in las vegas you can find a dealer. did you perform a dealer search on redcat site?

[skathious1]

hahahaha... thats the exceed rc buggy... thats crazy that redcat makes the same exact one

[alishanmao]

Well I'd say just like many real car models look exactly the same with only difference of Brand names, logos n grills :D it's same with RC. many brands have similar models. Question is, which gives good performance and still very affordable? RedCat Racing :D

[skathious1]

yea i know... exceed rc sucks balls... well it doesnt completely blow but redcats deffinitely a better brand. but what i was saying is this car has the exact same parts as mine... i looked it up after watching this video and everything in this car is the exact same

[alishanmao]

well in that case you can order parts from RedCat and fix your exceed buggy anytime you want :D Definitely RedCat Is stepping up to be a real good brand name :D

[skathious1]

hahaha.. yea i know.. ive already done that but redcat is a really good brand

[alishanmao]

Sure mate and I am sure soon it will become a real big brand name :D

[ghettobjm]

Do all rc nitro trucks come with brakes

[alishanmao]

yes of course. else how would you stop them :D they have central disc brake systems

[ghettobjm]

thanks that realy helps alot

[vetterman008]

More great information as usual. Thanks Ali.

[alishanmao]

Thanks mate. Always welcome. Also look for something that a user Galtrail said "u should watch out with the brakes in some cars as the are espestos pads which can kill if u inhale the fibers" so watch out for those.

[alishanmao]

hahahha :) No worries. Thing is we all are learning n getting experience in troubleshooting the problems, n finding solutions. thats the best thing right :) Cheers

[MxAndRc4ever]

when i break with my nitro truck it shuts off it still breaks but it also shuts off

[alishanmao]

Not a biggie. Your Idle speed screw is set to very low. So when you break, carb closes down and engine shuts. take the air filter off, Turn the radio and car receiver on (Don't start engine) Now push the brakes n set the idle speed screw so that you can see Carb is opening. when brakes r pushed, the carb should still be open bout 1 mm. Once done. Put air filter back, start the engine n have fun. Engine won't shut on braking. Cheers :)

[MxAndRc4ever]

Thanks ONCE again ali your rc expert has put me in the right direction. im going to work hard and start, and try and get a contract such as yours. =], btw i got a new rc plane. =DD i bought a mini super cub electric rc plane. any tips on flying this bad boy?

[alishanmao]

Great. Well super Cub is one of a very good trainer planes. No worries. it flies very well and even glides very well. You will have fun with it. It can do lots of aerobatics too :D

[MxAndRc4ever]

Glad to hear after this rain clears up im going to try it out. Im also going to try and record the maiden flight =]

[alishanmao]

Will be waiting. I have got a nitro super cub. This plane is simply awesome

[MxAndRc4ever]

That gets me eager to go out and fly my plane =]

[alishanmao]

Well don't wait then. I am waiting for the 3 new planes that this new company sent me. F4J Phantom and F15 EDF jets and a Big Cessna 50Amp ESC 14.8 volt battery and Floats. Can't wait to see this big Cessna and see how it takes off and lands on water. it would be beautiful :D

[sickofsin]

Great video Ali!!!

Where's the Landslide video?

[alishanmao]

well today we ran it to check 2 speed works or not. It was awesome but then :( my friend's buggy hits it high speed side ways, one front wheel steering suspension arm just came out. I am fixing it now and as soon as it's fixed, n weather allows, we'll go out for videos :D Cheers

[sickofsin]

That sucks! hope it's okay!.. can't wait to see it!

[alishanmao]

No worries, DIY just fixed it last night and had a little off road run at night. Got it on camera. will upload it soon. Today weather is sunny and bright. I am brining the landslide out and hope we will get some good steep hill climb footage n some jumps :D Stay tuned :D

[silentshot101]

Can I do the same with a on road car.

[alishanmao]

If they have similar break system yes you can :)

[Zeke4448]

What is ur favorite nitro truck/buggy??????

[alishanmao]

At the moment, Shockwave Buggy n Tyrannosaurus truck but later maybe Landslide 1/8 Truck will take up this place :D

[Galltrial]

watch out man,its me again.

u should watch out with the brakes in some cars as the are espestos pads which can kill if u inhale the fibers

[alishanmao]

Sure. Thanks, I will put on a annotation on my video :)

Thanks
