Tuning nitro engines sucks!
High speed, low speed, mid speed, too rich, too lean.
Will it ever end!
Yes, in about a week when my MB gets here.

RE: Tuning nitro engines sucks!
I currently have two Thunder Tiger EK4's, I will probably keep one, but after the Beetle gets here I may dump both of them.
I wanna see what the Beetle can do against the EK4 in a drag race.[sm=punching.gif]

RE: Tuning nitro engines sucks!
what do you think we're all doing here. Revolting against nitro. I've lost almost all intrest in nitro since getting my hands on a MT. I just wish I had found large scale sooner before I wasted $10,000 on nitro cars over the last 8 years.

or do as i do to enjoy the supercool driving and jumping style of a savage for example and convert it to an electric brushless powered monster aside of the big scales. that gives me so much runtime on the weekends. charging batteries while having fun with the big toys.

RE: Tuning nitro engines sucks!
Hey, you can't say all nitro's are bad I love my Savage SS. I've shoehorned in a .46 helicopter engine, fitted a header tank & it's tuning is spot on. She starts first time runs all day at 300 degrees, goes 50mph and jumps 20ft in the air! Runs rings around the MB!
But I only use it now when I can't fit the MB in the car (Two 30 size Helicopters, One 67" Extra 300s plane, One 7yr old daughter, One 3yr old Malamute) All in an Audi A6 Avante[X(]

RE: Tuning nitro engines sucks!
well my experience wiht nitros arnt that good ither, thoose engines just dont do what they do all the time, they dont stay right, and maintenance is another mess thats why i am thinking of modifying my nitro t-maxx with a petrol, takes a little modifications but could be worht it!
