Talion Fixing Up A Nitro Arrma Talion

[MisterG]

I lowered it a whole bunch so it should be fine.

The engine mounts are made of diecast/zinc. Welding won't work.

Maybe you could locate someone to mill you some new ones from aluminum.

 

[Garcbomber]

Yeah those are junk

Added even more. Should be OK for light driving

Got the electronics working and I have all the equipment I need to run it on order. Expect a driving video soon.

Seeing Arrma on the engine is just…different. Looks amazing man!
Can’t wait for the video.

I might have missed it did it come with that pull starter?

Yes

Yes

Lol I checked the patent number on it it is a Traxxas pull start.

Endpoints set, failsafe set, trim set. Ready to rumble.

Confirmed that the engine starts, but I'm having difficulty with the fuel lines. Seems like there's not enough fuel going back to the carb.

What’s your idle gap set at? I had the same issue when I tried to start the engine I just rebuilt, idle gap was too “lean”.

I had to open it quite a bit at first, then was able to lean it back out after a few tanks.

Heat the engine to operating temp before trying to start it (~200*F). It will start much easier. Also, it looks like the LSN is set too rich, generally these needles need to be flush with the needle housing. And start with the HSN at 4 turns out.

Any updates? This has to be the coolest Arrma RC ever built!

 

[Littlemotor]
