Kyosho Nitri Blizzard Problem!
Hello, gentlmen!
I am not so sure where I should post this question. But Kyosho Nitro Blizzard is similar with a tank, so I post here. I just have finihsed building this kit and bengan the break-in process. According to the manual, I started the engine at 2-turns out of the High speed needle (there is only one needle, no low speed needle on this engine.). It started well, but it was way too rich. So I leaned out to 1.5 turns out. When pulling the triger of the transmitter, RPM goes up, but it does not rev up really high. And the problem is that even though I pull the triger of the transmitter, the vehicle does not go foward. I checked the clutch and everything, and they look OK. When the fuel tank is almost empty, the mixture gets leaner, so that when pulling the triger, the engine now revs up and the vehicle goes foward. With this, it seems that the high speed needle setting is still to rich (now 1.5 turns out). But I am not so sure whether I should lean it more or not, because the engine is in the break-in process, so that I don't want over-lean or give the engine too high RPM. Is this problem cuased by the needle setting or not? The manual says, the break-in should begin at 2 turns-out, but it was way too rich, and now the needle is 1.5 turns out. But still it seems to be too rich. Then, is the manual wrong or the needle is wrong? Also another problem is that the vehicle does not go straight. It goes to the right a little. When a car does not go straight, it is easy to adjust, but I don't know how to adjust this. How can I fix this problem? Your advices will be greatly appreciated. I am very frustrated now. Thank you for your attention. |

RE: Kyosho Nitri Blizzard Problem!
If the Stuff don't show up, this should get you closer to some help....
I have the Blizzard - but the Electric version so I wouldn't be much help with gas engine problems. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_35..._1/key_/tm.htm |
RE: Kyosho Nitri Blizzard Problem!
Hi i had one of these if i recal the needle setting was like in the 1 turns setting all you need to have is a trail of smoke coming from the pipe and you will be fine as long as you see a nice trail of smoke your motor should be fine...... A temp gun is good don't go over 250deg...
Also about it driving crooked that's the nature of the blizzard you can try tightening and adjusting the drive chains... and also try swaping the tracks to the oposite side. Good luck. Shen |
RE: Kyosho Nitri Blizzard Problem!
100K diff fluid will make it pull pretty evenly on both tracks. Install bearings while you're at it.

Thank you very much guys for your responses!
As Shelonco said, I leaned it our more, and the blizzard works! Now the needle is about 1.3 turns out, and at this point, the blizzard runs pretty good and a good smoke tail comes out. Thank you Shelonco for your good advice! Shelenco, you suggested swaping the tracks to the opposite side. Does that mean installing the track from the left side to the right and vice versa? And Nomobux, what is 100 k diff fluid and how does that work? And where do I have to put it in? And what kind of bearings to where? Also I have one more question for you guys, if you don't mind. When pulling the trigger on the transmitter, sometimes the foward gear does not fully engage, so that I try to release the trigger and pull it agains several times, then, it engages. Also when the gear does not engage, while pulling the trigger, if I push the vehicle foward a little, then, it engages and goes foward. But for the reverse, I don't have this problem. What causes this? And how to fix it? Your advieces will be greatly appreciated. Once again, thank you so much for your good advices and kindness! |
RE: Kyosho Nitri Blizzard Problem!
The 100K is a very thick oil. it will make the diff more or less locked and apply drive to both tracks evenly. Tear down is fairly simple ( see your manual ) Go to ebay and search for Blizzard Bearings. Get the full set from the seller in Hong Kong. He is cheap and fast. On your shifting, it sounds like adjustment. I don't have the nitro version.

Thank you very much for your response! I will try what you said. Thank you again!

RE: Kyosho Nitri Blizzard Problem!
:DHi Thanks.. Try swaping tracks like i said above... also it sounds like you need to adjust your clutch properly there is a allen screw for this read your manual it will show you how to adjust it...
I don't know about 100K diff fluid it will most likely leak out i would try filling the diff with badhorsi diff locking grease this stuff is super sticky and works great. |

Thank you again, guys for your responses!
The manual says that it has a 2-speed transmission. I have a Savage 25 made by HPI that has a 2-speed transmission, too. When pulling the trigger, the engine sound goes rapidly up, and then, with the shfting up, the engine sound goes down. But I don't hear this from my Nitro Blizzard. When the pulling the trriger of the transmitter, the engine sounds goes up to high pitch and the vehicle runs a kind of fast. That's all. There is no engine sound change that signifies the shifiting up. So I adjusted the screw in the gear according to the manual for earlier shifting up. (I tried twice, so I did total one turn anti-clockwise.) But still it is same. I checked the sound of other Nitro Blizzard in the videos on You Tube. But I dont' hear gear shifiting from the other Nitro Blizzard in those videos. Any ideas about this issue? Your advices will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! |
RE: Kyosho Nitri Blizzard Problem!
Hi it's kind of hard to hear on the nitro blizzard ...when i had mine i drove it on the street and you can see the blizzard jerk a bit when the gear switches... you may have it set in second gear all the time...if i recal with mine it switched gers in like 3 feet or so because it is so torky due to the low gear ratio...
You should feel it switch though..... what you need to do to see if it is working ...just don't nail the gas go slowly on the trigger reving the motor up slowly this way you will hear and see if it actually is kicking in gear. |
