Such a fine tune. This engine is a beast, except for the pull starter (which broke at the second time) and it's carb. It heats up with the engine block and mess up with tune.

I found the big red engine an awesome power plant once it’s broken in and tuned however, the dual pull start/roto start I found was shocking! I went through 7 during the break in process, it’s a great idea but flawed in execution. You have a high torque electric starter twisting crappy cast aluminium against the high compression of a new big block engine, leading to hex socket failure. If you use the pull start, then you have plastic pulling against metal(another genius design decision (hold up sarcasm sign)) which again is up against the high compression etc etc, leading to the internal teeth of the pull start getting chewed away, this can be identified if you get the symptom of 1 pop then a free spinning pull start. I appreciate that this may be not everyone’s experience but it was definitely mine, my engine is now broken in but is now on its 7th pull start. The money I’ve spent on pull starts I could have brought a much higher spec better grade OS engine!

Yes, the engine is great, the pull start is GARBAGE ! I only use the rod to turn it on because the pull start always breaks.

I've been watching every vide and comment I can before spending $700. THANK YOU for the excellent video (with no stupid music!), and the info. I really wanted a Losi eight, was attracted to the xl because of size and 3 gears, BUT- what good is it if it's sitting on a shelf waiting for parts?! Yeah, Losi or MP9 for me, MP9 can be converted to 2 speed from the excellent Kyosho Gt on road, but it ain't cheap...

Man, the stock engine has a horrible idle and tune. I don't know if it was because I bought it on the first batch but I wouldn't take a tune. I ended up selling it. I also sold the truck, kept breaking and I didn't want to keep spending money, I broke, the brakes, the transmission, differentials, servo burnt etc... Horrible quality, I got into track cars now.

I shimmed the transmission and while I was there I set the second gear right and then I did the 3rd gear from the outside. I had the original engine, then a big red and now I just installed an LRP .32 SPEC 4.1. It's a competition engine, I'm posting a video today, check it out !

Mine also shifts like that lol. It's pain to get it, but once you set the second gear, it's easier to adjust the third. No need to take apart the gearbox (c'mon HPI? wth)
@stevenphipps535
Жыл бұрын
Deactivate the 3rd gear by turning the clutch around, that means you can focus on the second gear shift point. Start with the grub screw really lose, that means you’ll definitely be in second gear( because the clutch will engage early, probably without you hearing it) and just turn it in half a turn a turn each run until you hear it shift, once that’s done, re activate 3rd by turning the clutch around and do the same thing, remember they work on centrifugal force and the internal gears are spinning slower than the pinion so you need to have the space to allow the speed to pick up, trying to do it in a 30 meter space out the front of your house won’t cut it ( as I found out lol)
