Hi guys newbie here. got a winner sport about 2 years ago but have not run it for about a year, went to start it the other day and to my suprise it fired up straight away, but the died after about 2mins. i started to muck about with both the high end and low end needles and think i have really messed up now as it wont even idle very long, does anyone know how to put it back to the factory settings so i can start again, also do you have to mess around with the low end needle as much as the high end one, all help will be appreciated, also it has a new glow plug in it.

i put the spring back to gether as it had came un hooked but not i will hardly start an im gettin anoyed [:@]with it

same as nitro danny does any one know the factory setting please

HSN - 2.5 turns out.
LSN - flush with brass about 2 turns out.
Idle - 1 mm barrel opening.

ok thanks alot is the low speed needal the main ajusting and is the high one the idle screw

idle screw is directly under the air filter, low speed needle is connected the servo linkage.

I've had my Smartech Speed Master VH-X5 for a few weeks now and the acceleration still sucks -.- . I had a leak where the exhaust joins the motor and just replaced the gasket expecting a dramatic increase in performance, but still nothing. My friends one just takes off and mine has much slower acceleration. Any ideas?

~Thanks

Ohh, and his makes a much more high pitched sound while mine sounds like i'm barely accelerating (Even though the intake is completely open ~_~). Same result without Air filter.

Is it tuned correctly? Sounds like one or both needles is too rich.

ah right thanks so what about the main ajustin needle where should that be

thanks again

yea, the HSN is the big one sticking up in the air on one side of the carb.

so thats got to be 2 .5 out

thanks

yes, that's the place to start your tuning

ok thanks alot i will try it later might try 2 moro as well cant thusday as got to get my electric ready to race
but i will tell you how i get on thanks for the help

Where's the other Needle? I only know of the one next to the air filter, and the idle one.

Hey, Lewis, I didnt know you had a Smartech! I though you were a Monster truck basher, Savages and stuff.

BTW, why did you change your name to X?

there is one needal the main ajusting one next to the air filter the big one sticking up then there is the high speed needle (idle screw under the air filter) and them there is a low speed needle where the servo linkage is where the rod coneccts to the carb


hope that helped

Ahh, thankyou ^_^.

well i tryed mine quickley again to day but no luck would not start i know it just needs tuning but i just cant seem to get it to work any more also the pull start is now hard to pull even though the engine is not flooded anyone know if a lhs would be able to do it.model word is the closest one where i live

lift the wheels off the ground and pull the pull start. DO the wheels spin when you pull the pull start?

no they did but it was the spring and i sored that out

Hey guys just bought a Smartech Speedy tiger on ebay and it needs a pull starter but i can't find the part # online any where and was wondering if any new what it was. I'm new to the Nitro RC world so any advice will be appreciated. Thanks

Just about any .15 size pull starter should fit. Take the old one to your LHS and try to match up the mounting holes with some they have. Just make sure you keep your one-way bearing or the new one has the same shaft size for the bearing. Good luck!

Also i need a new clutch for it, just wondered if any other brands worked as i was reading past threads about stock clutch problems.

hi im new and i got a speedy tiger and when ever i start it it wont idle thanks please reply

Well I have a few questions about the Smartech buggy as well. I also own the winner sport and Its not all that bad. Its a great project car. Thats the reason I got into the hobby anyway. I would rather build it up myself rather then buy one for 500 or more $


Anyway my question is, Will I be able 2 fit the O.S. .18TM in the car and what other things should I change about the car? I am already looking 2 buy better shocks. Also should I change the clutch, flywheel. and clutch shoe or anything else. What is a good failsafe that will fit in the car? I am also just learnig. I know a lot about cars so I look at rc cars in that aspect just on a smaller scale.

CAN NE 1 HELP????????? THANKS.

yep i think that the os will fit as ther is people that have said abou them later in the thread defenatly buy new shocks as the old ones are c**p they botom out all the time the common problem i have heard is the cluch shoes going i have aliminium ones wich i think are suppos to be better than stock may be tunned exsoust pipe and manifold the fly wheel will be fine not sur about the fail safe but i know they are deffernaty worth getting
