Simon Pledger - MythicalRC urmm where’s the starting vid of this engine

Just edit that out.

Excellent idea. use old fuel if you can as detergents such as fairy liquid will not remove the grease.

Literally just started doing just this after a decade collecting dust. Hope you managed!

Glad it was helpful!

@@RCScrapyard qqtq%

Also drunk and stoned but he is really nailing this video. I’m about to tear my nitro down!

Good stuff! Sorry about the quality but glad it helped.

@@RCScrapyard the quality was fine, now I just need to work out how to make the old servos work. Thanks for the reply

@@helloyt4799 if I was you, I would buy new servos. I sell them at £7.99 so not expensive, and the chances are your old ones have seized motors which are very difficult to make work.

@@RCScrapyard i have got them hooked up to a remote and they do work, I just need to work out how to set a limit on how far they can turn. In the case that any fail I will definitely look into the ones your selling :)

Hyper MT sport plus is the model of the car. I am not familiar with that but it probably uses a standard Hobao engine. Can you tell me what model engine is fitted and I will give you settings. ( it should say on the side of the crankcase.)

Tong I got my dads gs racing nitro storm rc car since he died back in 2014 the car hasn’t ran since 2006 and I have no experience with gas cars and it’s missing a hood and was missing a engine but I put a .27 engine and now I need to get two new servos since both of mine are shot get a new pull string and it drives but once I get a new hood I can put it to its max

@@redghost1564 my dad had 2 red cat volcano, he also passed in 2014 they haven’t ran since then

I need servos, a reciever, engine rebuild , and a wand for the electric start I hope u get yours running

Hello. Please go to RCScrapyard.com and look for downloads in the menu. There you can download a beginners guide to tuning and maintaining nitro engines which will tell you how to look for air and how to set the carb etc. It’s written by me and is totally free.

@@RCScrapyard Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hi Cayden, I would not recommend doing this again, you will likely damage your engine very badly.

Hello. Yes the procedure is exactly the same. There is a hole in the con rod that must face forward for oil, and the backplate will only go one way up but everything else is the same. Thank you

The HSN should be 2.5-3.0 turns out The mid range needle should be flush with the carb body. The LSN should be turned out till it’s flush with the carb linkage. If you would like more help please go to Rcscrapyard.com and in the downloads section you will find my manual on tuning and maintaining Nitro engines.

You can see it start. Check out my video on how to start a Nitro RC car. It is the same engine but several months after the rebuild.

No but they are almost the same as this. Just make sure that your condos goes in the correct way round. The tiny pinhole faces the front of the engine. It takes fuel directly from the carb intake to lubricate the bottom (big) end bearing.

Oops. Condos should have read “conrod”

Hi Rodrigo. To clean the tank as pipe is easy. Just put a little new fuel into the tank and then link the two nipple together with a piece of pipe and shake! It will remove anything debris and clear the tank. It can be rinsed out afterward and left to dry with a tool holding the lid open so it can dry properly. For the pull start it sounds like your engine is gummed you with old fuel which is whey it won’t turn. You will need to take the pull start and back plate off and rinse the engine in some new fuel for a few minutes. It will loosen up and turn over again. Don’t use detergent as the fuel is too oily to react to soaps. Once the engine is Freed up a good run will blow out any remaining debris. Hope that helps you?

chriss4365 its just like a overflow so if it turns upside down it won’t leak out of the tank it will go into the exhaust

@@franticwaste2889 how does the fuel get to the motor? Engine vacuum?

A two stroke engine is only two strokes unlike a four stroke it’s doesn’t have inlet compression ignition exaust repeat the piston it’s self is a valve as the cylinder wall has the small holes you’ll notice as he takes off the carb and they are the ports the fuel goes in in a motorbike the crank case circulates the fuel pressurising it slightly I’m personally new to a rc engine but by my experience with working on Diesel engines and this being a two stroke it to me personally resembles a two stroke Diesel engine as it doesn’t use a spark blue but a glow plug aka compression ignition requires the engine to create its own heat source for ignition (something under compression is more susceptible to temperature change) but from what I’ve looked at here it’s very similar but replace diesel with nitro fuel and a fraction of the scale I’m not a expert on rc care just to clarify for you guys that are I personally only got my first ever rc car yesterday and haven’t even started it yet if anyone would like to comment and give me some advice or teach me something new I’m all ears I just have extensive history with racing motorbikes in modern and classic bikes holding Australian titles myself

@@franticwaste2889 ????? If I'm reading this right, you don't store an engine with the fuel tank connected to the pipe. It' supposed to be looped back to the fuel cap.

@@franticwaste2889 i know this is an old comment, but for future reference, the fuel tank is connected to the exhaust because the back-pressure from the exhaust pressurizes the fuel tank which pushes fuel (nitro) from the tank to the carb, this also is an added benefit as the higher the RPM the more pressure, which pushes more fuel to keep up with the higher RPM. there is in no way an EGR for RC nitro engines as they are not Federally observed for emissions, and in no way is it for an overflow. the fuel system should be completely sealed minus the air intake on the carb itself. if there are any holes that develop in the fuel system the engines run in a "lean" condition which means there is not enough fuel getting to the carb (this is especially dangerous as the fuel is premixed with oils and lubricants, so if there is not enough fuel, there is not enough oil resulting in mechanical wear in the piston and cylinder area.)

I would suggest you remove the electrics ( servos and receiver )

I would suggest you remove the electrics ( servos and reciever) and als remove the air filter and block the carb aperture with some cloth or paper towel, and then blast the cars outside with a garden hose set to jet. That will be the best way of cleaning rather than use a solution.

@@RCScrapyard I was gonna remove the electrical and air filter. I plan on using stuff called Mean Green. From what I've read, it should work. I want to clean them up and sell them. I have all kinds of new parts here too. All from around 2003 and 2004. 1/2 a dozen new controllers from the same era. Thanks for replying back.

Can you please show how to desmentle clutch and shaft assembly

Hey mate just wondering if your the same as rcscrapyard shop? I been buying a lot off you lately on eBay if so and then just watched this video and noticed same name aha that’s brilliant and very information videos spot on I got a few projects myself so no doubt you will see me asking questions or buying more stuff from you guys 🎉

Yup that’s me! I do the videos to assist sales and to help Rc enthusiasts repair their cars without expensive shop bills.

If the engine is mounted on a plate, which can be removed with the engine, then you shouldn't need to set the gap again. However, if the engine is fitted on standard sliding mounts, then you will need to set the gap.

Hello. Don’t worry about the age of the video as I am still rebuilding nitro engines which are over 30 years old and the same principle applies to old engines as with new.

@@tompledger7859 cool went to local lil dirt lol and was told it was a hyper 7 not sure year but dude was hyped he got it going for me

I don’t have a carb. Sorry. You can use a different carb as long as it fits properly and is from a.18 engine. (The needle jet is sized to the engine.)

@@RCScrapyard thank you

Yes, certainly, But it sounds like your engine may be worn and as it warms up is losing compression. I will upload a video on engine tuning shortly.

That's too little information. We don't know if: a) the engine's even been broken in b) you're tuning it whilst not at operating temperatures c) the engine is in operable condition d) you're using new plugs or old ones e) the engine is dying during WOT f) you've checked the linkages to ensure brakes aren't shutting off the carb valve

The fuel filter has a metal mesh which can be cleaned. So you don't need to replace it. Unlike an air filter which is foam and does need replacing periodically.

Hi Kemilia. Please contact me via WhatsApp and we can talk about your car. I have plenty of second hand and new spares so I am sure we can get you going. 07876 677762

Best glowplug for this engines is eBay item number 284131235390. That’s what I use in my engine ( shown in the video)

@@RCScrapyard can i use #3 or 4 ,5 glow plug

@@mirzasahab7396 no 4 or 5 are too fragile for the bigger engines. They will work but won’t last very long.

Hello. I may have a video about one that has been sold on eBay but it would be a few years old as I only strip cars for parts now. The MTA4 is a good car but parts are hard to find now. The strip and rebuild video will work for your Pro engine just the same as the hyper engine in the video

Hi Luke. There are two sizes used depending on which engine you have. They are either 2.5x8mm or 3x8mm. I carry both in my eBay shop. The item numbers are 283654941669 and 283654931962 if you put the number into the eBay search bar they will come up for you. Hope that helps.

Wd40

Brady Borg Thanks!

Normal feul

Can you use carburetor cleaner?

Wd40 and elbow grease! Heard carburetor cleaner isn't meant for any o rings or seals because the strong cleaning properties of cleaner itself can cause them to deteriorate, and old nitro fuel works well to but don't use carb cleaner unless you've removed all o rings from carb and engine

Yes. You can use new fuel. It’s just a bit more expensive. Don’t be tempted to put it back in the tank when you have finished as it may clog the carb.

Hi Deepak. I have loads of different pull starts. Can you send me a pic of the backplate or measure between hole centres please?

Hello. I don’t honestly think it would fit. I assume a 1/4 scale motor would be a two stroke petrol ? If so the physical footprint would be too large for most 1/10 scale. Even if it did fit, the torque would tear up the diffs. And actually you would have a care with plenty of torque but not much speed. Most Nitro engines run at around 30,000 rpm flat out whereas a two stroke would max at 12,000 tops. As the output is directly connected to the main spur gear the speed would be slower. However to put a 1/8 scale nitro engine into a 1/10 scale would be possible and create a quick and torquey car. In fact Schumacher have done exactly that with the “Menace” which has a big engine and a three speed gearbox. Does that help?

Ahh that makes since Tbh I’m super new to RC and Just learning the Ropes Of Nitro I Love it !! And Just Trying ideas as too going Faster Already Lol thanks for the Reply and the Awesome Videos !! Have any experience with Custom Build RC Dragsters? Videos on that would be Awesome!!

No worries. You can’t beat the sound of a nitro ! Speed is not about the size of engine but is all about the gears!! I have made any custom chops, but my own Traxxas TMax is fitted with a home made automatic start system - just push a button on the transmitter and go! I will publish a video about is shortly.

So true About the Noise I’m an ex Drag Racer so Noise and the Actual working Real Aspect Of an Engine has got me Hooked !

That sounds bad Ass !! Look forward to Seeing that soon!! 👍🏻😀

Hello. I am sorry I can’t help here. I am based in the UK and don’t have a clue who is available in the US ? Sorry

thank you

Applying heat gun to engine to loose up piston its what i did

Red Ghost15 - it looks like a standard buggy shell will fit the Racing Storm. It seems to be a 1/10 scale buggy which looks similar to many available. I carry these shells in yellow and blue with rear wings to match if you need one. Price is £19.99 for the shell and £5.99 for the rear wing. Let me know if you are in the UK and I will give you an eBay item number.

Have you checked your washers? Sometimes you forget to put the spacer in between the cooling tower and the block

Hey Robinson. Happy to help. Firstly when you look for parts try Ofna and Hobao as they are the same company ( just use different names in different countries). Can you send me a picture of your engine as I have loads of heads and I am sure one will be correct. Use the email rcscrapyardspares@gmail.com. I also have a web site now which is rcscrapyard.com but I don’t yet have any Ofna parts listed. Also if you need a manual I may have one which I can email. A picture of the car would help me to identify it for you. Thanks -Simon

@@RCScrapyard hey I appreciate the reply I would be sending you and image of the car shortly

I just sent you the email

New fuel! 😁

Hello honestly I don’t know. That’s a question for the engine manufacturer! I would assume the direction of the blades channel fuel towards the combustion chamber but that’s a guess.

Def. xtra power, probably adds a bunch of torque as well.

Hi BT. Depending on which engine you have, Yes they will probably physically fit but the clutch in a 1/10 car is usually made of a Less dense material than a 1/8 clutch so it is likely to burn out much faster, especially if you are fitting the motor in a 1/8 car, as the load will be heavier for the clutch to pull. Hope that makes sense.

@@RCScrapyard its actually the opposite 😅 I want to fit a 1/8 engine in a 1/10 rc, it originally had a .18 engine but it blowed up and was thinking of putting a bigger engine as a replacement

@@bluetrainer3549 no reason why not but you will need to make mew engine mounting holes in the chassis and make room for a rear exhaust. You also need 1/8 engine mountings as the 1/10 won’t fit.

@@RCScrapyard yeah I already found that out, but was more consern about the gear and clutch not fitting

Good idea. If you have access to an air compressor. If not you can use a stiff brush. I keep old toothbrushes for the purpose. As it’s going to be stripped and cleaned anyway all stray dirt will be washed away.

That would have been an option but it only works on some engines when the sleeve is quite loose to start with. If it is firmly stuck the zip tie just gets cut through like a guillotine. You can’t use anything stronger like metal as it will damage the piston and burr the edge of the sleeve.

Once you have removed the piston and sleeve, and removed the flywheel you can just push the crank out towards the rear.

@A Ihsan The car not the engine 😂😂😂

@A Ihsan Can you not see how insanely dirty the car is 😂

I guess it would do no harm to use locktite especially on the screw that holds the clutch bell in place ( front of crankshaft) but personally I have lent ever used it and have had no problems.

Simon Pledger - MythicalRC ok thanks because My exhaust manifold just fell off as I’m driving the car

Aha. You didn’t know I was the “all seeing RC eye!” 🤓😉

Hit pause then play

Thank you. I think my use of the “proper everyday English” language is far more accurate than the somewhat modified version that is commonly used overseas. You have a choice with UKposts of whether to watch or not. I suggest you turn the volume down!

Hi Tenka, when i buy job lots of car for breaking on my website www.mythicalrc.com they sometimes come with old fuel. if you dont have old fuel you can use new, but it is expensive. Sadly the normal degreasing methods dont work with Nitro cars.

If it leaks when it’s upside your driving needs some improvement! 😉

He said if you chooses to do it that way it could damage the sleeve

Thank you for your comments. I hope you done my mind if I don’t dignify them with a reply.

your welcome dude not to be mean yesterday but it was true I still like your video though!!!

heat them up, hit bolt head with small punch before trying to remove

Hey cyberpower 300, Sorry for the VERY LATE RESPONSE. The only option now is to drill the bolts out with a 7mm drill and replace them. Make sure the glow plug is in when you do it.

Since this is an even later response and you've probably fixed the issue by now, for anyone else: do *NOT* use Allen "keys". Do yourselves a favor and buy a set of proper hex type tools to work on your RC vehicles. Allens found in RTRs are notoriously shit and are typically made from weak materials. Don't chuck them out however, as they can still be useful but don't use them as your primary tools. Bad idea.
