Nitro rc cars work in much the same way as a normal car and therefore regular maintenance and cleaning is crucial to maintain the performance and reliability of your rc cars. I’ll give you some key tips in this article to make sure your nitro rc car stays in top condition.
One of the big problems many people face is setting up and adjusting the air/fuel settings of the engine to maintain optimum performance and reliable operation. Essentially, if the air fuel mixture is not set correctly, your rc car will not run properly.
Basically, there are two ways to tune a nitro engine; You can set the fuel mixture to run the engine “lean” which means less fuel goes into the engine or you can set the fuel mixture to “rich” which means more fuel goes into the engine. If you’re inexperienced I’d get some expert advice on setting up your model, but in general it’s wise to set the fuel mixture to run slightly rich so the engine is properly lubricated and therefore less likely to overheat. and sixteen.
Another very important thing to remember is to make sure that all fuel lines and the carburetor are kept extremely clean. Dirt getting into the fuel system, carburetor or engine can cause unreliability and excessive engine wear, so keeping the fuel system clean is imperative.
It is also very important to keep the air filter clean and free of dust. If the air filter becomes clogged with dust and dirt, less air will get into the engine, causing starting and performance problems. It is very important to clean the air filter regularly. And you should also replace your air filter as recommended by your model specialist.
Once or twice a year, it is recommended that you completely disassemble your nitro rc car and clean and lubricate all moving parts of the gearbox and drive train/axles. This will minimize wear and maximize performance.
It is absolutely crucial that you clean and maintain your nitro rc car regularly to keep it running smoothly.
