This video is on how to select fuel and glow plugs prior to break in. Information that this contains his how to troubleshoot and break in the kit based off of the glow plug, how much oil is good in fuel, and what nitro percent is good for the fuel.

This is a ten video rc nitro break in series. The series is designed on how to guide the novice to experienced racing pro or basher on how to break in a nitro rc properly. I will teach the traxxas, new school, and my own method which is a combination of the other two. I will show the user how to prime a nitro rc engine, start the engine using a bump start box, ex starter, roto start, pull start and tiger drive devices. Then, after break in, I will go over nitro engine tuning theory and then show the tuning actally done. This engine tuning series is good for the AE associated electronics Gt GT2 MGT mini MGT hpi savage x ss, traxxas revo tmaxx t maxx s ofna hyper st pro 7 8 9 8. buggy truggy jammin crt crt.5 mini hyper losi lst lst2 lst1 muggy 8ight 8ight-t truggy monster truck mt byt fuck chris mt kyosho 777 sp2 worlds mugen mbx lx comp pro and many more! os engines trx picco sts axial .12 .15 .18 3.3 2.5 .20 .21 .23. 25. 27 .28 .30 .32 collari lrp spec 3 DM

  • 1 fault after start up the glows plug has no effect on the engine other then compression this engine is very similar to a 2 stroke diesel

  • @blueeyesseto You still need a heat source to ignite beyond simple compression- After the lighter is removed it is the explosion that will keep the coils lit for future ignition. If it was solely compression then you could restart the engine without the lighter if it is still warm/ hot but that is not the case.

  • How do I know if my engine is overheating? Is it if the bend of the ex pipe gets redhot?

  • @spenatjonas no smoke through the pipe and a sizzling engine. You can get a temp gauge to look at temps.

  • how do you manage to keep your nitro rc's so damn clean..my ofna ravager is starting to build up rust on some spots, and i try so hard every time i use it to clean it thoroughly

  • @pbkid201 Tear down cleaning or high pressure air hose.
