Status: offline 		I bought a smartech car a while ago, ran it a few times and didn't quite break the engine in all the way because it wouldn't start anymore. I took all the necessary precautions when breaking the engine in, and I pretty much tried everything to get it to start. Ever since then it has been sitting in my closet. I want to run it again and I'm pretty sure it needs a new engine. Does anybody have any advice for me on what I should do?

Status: offline 		Start by taking the glow plug out and check to make sure it's still lighting up. I found that 9 out of 10 times if the engine won't start a new plug will cure it. If thats good check your fuel adjustment. Should be around 2 1/2-3 turns open. I have one that's a couple years old with the original engine that still runs and starts on first pull but it's getting so worn out I set the fuel needle at 1 1/2-2 turns open. Gets a little hot but runs great. I would try to lean it out a little before i bought a new engine. So check your plug, prime it, lean it out and let it rip....If your planning on getting a better engine anyways might as well use the stock one for learning. My first nitro car I had leaned out so much it ran at 330F. I know it's bad but it ran forever like that and when it did blow up I wasn't out anything because i had a spare sitting here.

Status: offline 		so i just got a smartech ftom my buddy who had lost alot of parts for it and destroyed the gears, so i used servos off my cen and other misc stuff off my old cars and i somehow built a gear box,

my question is what are the factory settings for the engine. most are like 3 1/2 out for the high end but i have no idea on this car.

also i have no low end idle needle...its just gone there is the hole for it but that's it or its the one that should have the spring around it.

Status: offline 		I have a rapid VH-A6, I think it is related of made by the same company. It has a purp head and the engine jut says .18. It uses all the same parts as those but it has a 2 speed transmission. What 18 engine will work for it with the stock 2 speed cutch and transmission. it uses the same two speed transmission and clutch as the smar tech speedy tiger. I think it is a offshoot of smartech called FMT world racing, www.rccarmax.com/index.php?cPath=29_62&sort=2a&page=2. What .18 size engines will work with this clutch system and tranmission?
Here is a site with picks of what it looks like: www.lelong.com.my/Auc/List/2009-07DSale16497411.htm Also this model came with metal clutch shoes. i think this is almost the same car as the smartech winner 1. Does anyone know where to get the replacment carb for the .18 engine?

Status: offline 		most .18 size engines will fit with the standard clutch system. The easiest way to find a carby for the engine is to measure the throat of the carby where it goes into the engine and match one up with the same size
