Yes, they have been working on one for quite some time. It's been somewhat designed and tested. The problem is that each driver wanted different things on it and they are trying to design it to accommodate all these options.


So you've seen it?

hey yo RC10GT experts... any quick tips for upgrading a rc10 for maximum runtime...? like change to a lower usage engine maybe...? a bigger tank...? a combo of both...? im not really good with the intricates of this car, since i just bought it and i am just starting in the hobby (first car)...

Bring more fuel...


The less powerful thh engine the more likely it is to use less fuel, since it's not drawing as much in on each stroke. On the other hand, a more powerful engine may use more fuel, but will be more efficient at moving the vehicle just as fast as the less powerful engine, but requiring less effot, using less fuel. In short, both engine are just as likely to use the same amount of fuel in a given run. It's just once may last longer, while the other may travel faster. You could mount another tank on there somewhere too(not sure where or how) but that would just mean added weight, which isn't good for racing, and will just make you use more fuel in the long run. I'd say your best bet is to tune what ever engine your using so that you get the leanest mixture possible, without runnign the risk of severely damaging the engine. That's really the only way your likely to see any significant improvement in total run time per tank, unless you just keep topping off the tank while it's running. In which case, see my first statement.

no but my friend has ( he runs almost the biggest nitro offroad site in the world www.nitrobuggies.com ) seen it. standing them up will make it bouncy in my experience.

Hey guys I bought an RC10GT about two weeks ago. So far so good. Aside from the fact that I know I don't have it tuned right. I don't own a VCR so the tape you get with the kit is no help. Is there any videos on the intenet I could watch? I have search and found nothing.

Thanks

Liz

dont worry ur not missing much, the video is junk. jus search online for tuning guides and you should be fine

TsuaSai

Went I search everything that comes up is about that stupid video. I will try to reword my search some.

Thanks

Just ask specific questions to us about tuning.

While I'm in this thread, I'll add something. I just ran 3/4 tank through my truck real fast and mannnn it ripppss!!! I just installed some new front aluminum bulkheads from Team Bluestar for extra strength. I was just running it up and down the streets around me, chasing cars (catching up so easily), and doin speed runs... I love this truck so much!!!

hey, i was wondering from all of u. is how do u keep ur muffler from coming out from a hard landing?

sfleuriet

I have two really sturdy zipties holding the coupler on. I cranked down REALLY hard on both of them with 2 pairs of pliers when I put the zipties on. I've had them come off a couple times, but not recently. Just get two pairs of pliers or something (one to hold the big part of the ziptie, and one to hold the end and pull) and just crank down on them as hard as you can to get it really really tight. Just make sure you don't pull it sideways and pinch the coupler right off the muffler or manifold

Oh and I've tried hose clamps on the muffler before, and they don't work well at all.

What engine is it, try searching for that engine. If it is OS they tend to have pretty good tuning guides. I am sure someone here will know the factory settings to start with, and adjust from there.

Took me a little bit to get mine tuned, but it is holding the tune really well, and hauls major a@@.

Shame I need to sell it

I belive it is an OS. One problem that I am having thats easy to explain is when I break it dies.

I will keep search for some standerd settings so to speak.


EDIT: I just search for OS engine manuals and finally brought up a lot of help full stuff. Thanks

My Feedback: (3)

tsua your problem is the idle speed screw. you need to take your air filter off, and turn the idle screw in until you have about a 2mm gap (rotary carb) or 1.5mm gap (slide carb) when you're on the brakes.

TsuaSai

Thanks I will do that when I get home.

3evoman

ur sure its an os? if its stock than its an ae engine. unless u upgraded engines real quick

TsuaSai

No I am not sure...

3evoman

a picture will clear up the confusion

TsuaSai

Well its a stock RTR if that helps any...

Either way I am about sick of dealing with it. Might just stick it on ebay if i cant get it running right.

dannthenitroman

so its a TTR engine. turn the throttle trim on the radio so it put s the brakes on when u let go of the trigger. then turn the dile screw in until it will idle nicely and its fixed.

Dann

I mess with it again and got it running better I think. I can at least use the breaks with out killing it.

Tinybaum

TSUA

Thats a start. You just have to play with it some, I know its frustrating, but its all worth it when you get it adjusted and you get to wind it out for the first time. . .and actually stop too lol

I just got a new motor for my other truck so i have to go through all the adjusting and breaking in again. . . not the fun part of the hobby but something you just have to expect. Hang in there you sould pretty close to getting it tuned.
