Help with carb settings

Hi

I need to know the # of turns out for the low speed setting screw (not idle).

The manual says its pre-set at the factory but does not specify # of turns. They specify 3-3/4 to 4-1/2 for the high speed.

Al

Question Help with NB16-T - please.....

Hi everyone, as a total beginner I am new to this site and the joys (and pains) of these wicked mini nitro cars. I bought this....

http://www.nitrotek.co.uk/A3010T.htm

A few months ago and am well pleased with it. It has Toki .06 engine, but still suffers the same fuel leaks from the manifold / exhaust gasket, the screws don't seem to do up tight enough, and the gasket was very brittle and broke easy but I've sorted it by making my own gasket and using gasket sealant.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has ever experienced the low speed needle vibrating loose and actually coming out whilst running. The rubber is still in place. Its done it twice now, and only by pure luck and persistance I found it. Although the needle tip is now damaged, I've been trying to find out where I can get a new one from but have had no luck. Any help appreciated as it still runs, but not very reliably due to the damage to the tip!!

If i remember my nitro days i believe that you can go up in fuel percentage but you can never go back down in percentage. At least this is what i was told.

Another Newbie

Hi Guys,

New to the site!

My brother brought an nb16 buggy from here:

http://www.xnitrorc.co.uk/24-nb16-nitro-buggy.html

He runs it on quickfire 16% and it runs great havn't had any problems with it he has smashed it a few times but they do all the parts 2.

Fixing it is half the fun tho =D

Hello all,

This thread is a very popular search result on Google. Thanks for everyone's input! I've been reading through as this car has literally just popped through my door this afternoon.

My impressions, for the curious:

I'm running 16% nitro, on which it seems happy. Haven't even started break-in yet, but I did manage to get it running after a lot of panicking about how hard I had to pull the starter cord.

You really have to be a bit vicious with the initial movement, don't you? Otherwise it seizes up on you. I'm hoping after run-in this gets a little 'looser' but it suffices to say the engine has a lot of pinch right now.

Out of the box instructions are crap for a beginner like me - just one page of text telling you to "break it in" but not how; the rest is construction diagrams which is great, but not for setup. No setup for the engine either, which was set wrong out of the box too. Thank heavens for the internet!

The stock servos are a bit naff. Especially the steering servo. I tried switching to a 2.4Ghz system, and it just can't operate on it. It bugs out and whirls from side to side at top speed if you give more than very slow changes to the input. If both servos are plugged in at once, they both bug out regardless. Flippin' proprietary radio systems! I have much bigger and more power-hungry servos that respond fine to that system. I'm using an Ansmann W3 and R3 receiver. I'll switch both of the servos out first opportunity I get.

So far this car has sat blarping on my desk and not much else, I'll try an apprehensive 27Mhz bash tomorrow and see what happens

Is 09 Mini-Inferno better?

It seems that the nitro Mini-Inferno is a much better car. Why would anyone get this when you could get a 09 Mini-Inferno with a bump starter on ebay for $325?

This sounds like a lean condition, not a problem with your fuel. I would richen the idle needle to calm it down at idle. Check the carb to make sure it isn't open a little bit at idle. Richen the high speed needle if the motor is getting too hot. You should have a good little puff of white smoke when you punch the throttle. Seal up the engine with blue RTV gasket maker. That should solve the problem.
