Engine Issues On Nitro RC Cars

When you have an RC car, be on the look-out always of the possible problems or errors that could occur before, during and after a run. Keep your eyes peeled on every possible angles where running too fast could go wrong. But, you are the only person as well who knows if your RC car is running in its best condition or not. If you have any doubts, even if it’s the smallest, be sure that you have conduct final check-up of your car right before you hit the tracks. This goes out most especially for owners running nitro-powered RC cars.

Common error occurs in the engine. This is the most important part of your RC car (even the real life cars extremely depend on a good conditioned engines), this simply means that you need to check it and the fuel that runs your car (if it is powered by gas). If after several turns just seconds from running, caused your car to stop, it could be an issue on the engine. There isn’t enough gas that is being pulled up to maintain the engine’s speed and running duration. In this case, check the piston sleeve of the engine. It could already be worn out and replacing it is your best option.

Usually, if the engine of the car is the problem, its fuel system needs to be checked generally. But, before doing so; you can also simply tune in to how your engine sounds after starting it. Using different types of fuel for your nitro RC car could also be the reason of a failing fuel system. But you have to understand that changing fuels for your RC car has an impact to its general running performance. Also, changes on the type of fuel that you consume calls for smoke problems at some point. But don’t just depend on the smoke; even on the sound that you see and hear.

For an even more reliable engine check and diagnostic, check if your engine has a clean fuel system. Try to see as well if the engine has other problems aside from fuel issues.
