I love nitro cars, trucks and buggies. A good thing to get is a temp gage. Running between 200 and 250 will make your motor last so much longer. I have a few HSP and they are a little hard to deal with when they are new, but you will have fun with them.

I learned the hard way that the break in glow plug you use is going to go out. Getting a “hot” glow plug really helps crisp up the throttle response, along with some 30 percent nitro fuel. Before attempting to tune after break in put in a new plug. Holding the throttle wide open while priming helps a ton too.

okay cool. I do want to get it as dialed as possible. The black glowplug after 1 tank doesnt seem right to me. But im not really sure if its lean or rich

sounds a bit lean, might just be the video but i couldn't see much smoke coming from the exhaust. Also glow plugs can go bad at any time, try a fresh one in and see how it goes.

I don’t know anything about those, but this applied when my Foxbody had a carburetor on it. The float bowls were set to high, wouldn’t run right and sometimes after it got hot the fuel in the bowls would boil and everything would get flooded. It won’t start until it cools. Maybe that helps not sure! Love the content

I know I’m a couple months late to watch the vid (just found you) but, I wanted to welcome you and congratulate you to the best part of the RC Hobby ‼️ Nitro RC ‼️ - HSP as you may know, offer lower quality RCs. They are lower initial cost but, that is good as bad. The bad is that everything about the car is lower quality. Like with most things, investing in quality parts (especially engines) will not only help with longevity but, more importantly better running, easier to tune, higher performance and less headaches overall. Just something to consider - Nevertheless, it is awesome that Awesome that you have a touring car and it is Nitro 💯 I hope you continue to enjoy it and continue your journey in the Hobby Thanks for sharing your adventure with us 🩷

You need to setup the alignment to get it running straight. Also try taking off the servo horn and set the steering on the radio to centre.

you are to rich, turn clockwise on the needle to lean it out a bit. Do half a turn each time until it runs perfect. After breaking in the engine you need to lean it

I just got my hands on my first nitro so from my limited knowledge it sounds like your running too rich on the high speed and low speed needles. As for the not sitting still at idle the low speed is rich. I do have a different car and engine from you but what i had to do was 2 1/2 or 3 turns out on the high speed needle and 1 1/2 out on the low speed. You can look up the factory settings for your car specifically which will be a rich tune usually. When tuning i had to get the low speed set while off the ground. Also the low speed does bot actually control the amount of fuel the engine gets that is entirely determined by the high speed needle.

Also I recommend draining the tank tubes carburetor and all of the nitromethane if it's going to sit for longer than a week nitromethane is extremely corrosive and dissolves and eats away everything that's another pain-in-the-ass part about owning a Nitro car the amount of maintenance to take into consideration that's why my car sits in the center of the coffee table haven't driven it in years it looks better sitting there less of a headache for me I guess LOL

@JovanMichaels adjust the idle screw/tick over screw on the carb. Make sure the gap is about 1mm roughly. Another tip/trick to get her fired up easy is to put a drop or two of nitro fuel in the engine hole before you screw in the glow plug

@@JovanMichaels Did you break in the engine before you gave it high throttle ? you need a temp gun because you do not want to go over 280f and you want to see plenty of smoke coming out exhaust pipe so please read the manual on break in procedures or go to KZitem for info on how to break in a nitro motor and tune is very important because elevation and air temps will determine if you need to retune every time you run the buggy and trust me nitro rc cars are a blast but there is a lot more work to keep them clean and running good !!!!!!!!!!!

your idle set too high you're going to smoke your clutch before your next big bottle of nitro bring down the idle and then try to tune it think it's running a little rich as well that thing should be taken off and hitting second a lot faster than it is right now it's been a minute I used to have that same exact model HPI been out of the game for a while no they're not as popular because they're a pain in the ass to keep running but when tuned properly they are fast and also Battery Technology has come a long way in the RC world and a lot easier that's another reason why Nitro is not as popular anymore
