KYOSHO GXR28MR NITRO ENGINE
 

I live in the UK and I own a KYOSHO CAT 1 Lamborghini nitro boat( fibreglass hull ) fitted with a Kyosho GXR28MR nitro engine. Can anyone help with advice on the settings for the engine. I am still running it in but it is being a real pain...........settings change hourly !! and it keeps burning out glow plugs !!

many thanks

Fiberglass? The one Stateside are plastic.
I replied to this last night but we lost a lot of postings when the nasty virus hit.
If you're frying glow plugs the carb is too lean so fatten her up.
I've never dealt with hourly carb changes unless you're getting some drastic temperature changes.

yes it is fibreglass.........was new in November 2007. The hull is quite good but brittle around the edges near the engine bay.
I am a new bie to nitro engines ...........can you explain how i adjust the carb etc.
yes i too got the virus ( Trojan horse ) but my virus soft ware picked it up.

thanks

Turn the high-speedc needle counter-clockwise to richen the carb, you may have to go 1/2 turn or more out. When you blip the throttle you should hear a slight lag. The load of the prop once in the water will lean it out just a little more.

You should have a screw next to the carb inlet looking up at you. That's the high-speed needle. There might be a tinier one which is the idle speed screw.

would like to replace the plastic outdrive system but retain the rigid shaft as i dont want to start hacking out the epoxy etc. Would like to fit a cnc rudder and stringer so that i can fit a better prop ( balanced and sharpened ).

is it possible ?????????

ideas / suggestions greatly accepted !!
