This vid will walk you through the begining to end on painting a RC vehicle shell. everything that you need to know on how to paint a shell is on here from shaker cans (spray paint) to airbrushes. I use a Iwata by the way and a harbor freight air compressor. The paint used in this is pactra silver and black. The airbrush paint is spaz stix candy apple green, blue, dark blue, and white. The lightning effect came out pretty well in my opinion. Also, the songs are metallica 2008 new album whiskey in the jar and also godsmack. Enjoy the vid!

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.

nitro superchargers. These are the guys like RB where they claim more speed and RPM from your nitro engine. Do they work or are they over glorified engine cookers? This thread will solve that mystery and also there is a thread on my forum that addresses this.

For a nitro engine to work, air is pumped into the engine via the carburetor. The air is then mixed with the pressurized flow of nitro fuel and the two mix or become “atomized”. This mixture then enters the case of the engine via the main intake port. The rear exhaust is left open initially and this why it is important to have a good tuned pipe for your particular engine. Upon explosion, a wave will travel to the end of the pipe at the speed of sound and then bounce back. This “echo wave” or “plugging wave” will block the exhaust port in a perfectly timed engine/ pipe fit. The piston is then free to compress fully at the top, causing the explosion, sending the piston down to reset the entire cycle.

The folly to the supercharger is that the intake port and the exhaust ports are open at the same time. Two stroke diesels engines, on the other hand and why it will work with them, have exhaust valves allowing the air to stay within the chamber. But, with both ends open, the increase of air will push out and the plugging wave will not stop all of the leak and it will go right through.

This will then cause you to run your engine rich. Why rich? More air for the power will leave it running lean. Nitro engines rev high to begin with. This will suck more gas through the engine to compensate for the increased air and thus causing more wear, a higher rev, increased costs in replacement sleeves and pistons, and a very burned out engine.

The other interesting conclusion is the added 15 to 30% (ball park) more HP
