Back when I had NiCDs and mechanical speed controllers, nitro was pretty hard to beat...that little engine in my Traxxas Nitro Buggy ran like a top despite being thoroughly abused. Brushless motors and lipos pretty much changed everything and I cant be bothered with nitro these days, but I do still love that smell.

Started with nitro and love them. I've never had an issue with all of my nitro cars . Yes they take some tlc to keep them going but if you know how to tune them and maintain them, they start right up and the experience is hard to beat. Love the noise, shifts, no charge time, and the maintenance part of the motor is rewarding and therapeutic.

Who remembers the days when .21 nitro RC was the epitome of power?
Even the Radio Shack Extreme Machine, Nitro Burner, Rock Runner, Road Phantom etc were awe inspiring.

Kev, put a small nito plane fuel tank in your revo. It will have a weighted fuel pickup, so when the car rolls over it won't stall.
I did this to my t-maxx 3.3

Keep Nitro Alive! Only a few manufacturers are left. Novarossi closed for good, SH/Golden Lion, who made all the LRP/Nosram/Mach engines closed down, STS too. I'm glad OS are hanging in there along with Picco and Force. It would be a very sad day if you could no longer buy an OS engine in your local hobby shop.

its crazy how back in the 80 early 90 there were kits to add nitro engine to brushed cars..now there are kits to remove nitro to put in brushless. I love nitro...have about 100 RCs, about half nitro....

@6:12 it's nice to see a HPI Nitro Rush. That was my first hobby grade RC car at 14yo, and I got it from my neighbor for $40 after he wrecked the engine at the beach. I have fond memories of that moment when your nitro finally starts up, then crash it into a curb because you forgot to put the antenna up on the TX

1:20 I did this on my Slayer Pro, too. I had my on-board glow on one switch and the starter motor on a momentary switch. Was pretty nice. Same the truck was an unrepentant pile of shit that always broke down on me. I got fed up with having to fix it every time I drove it when none of my other cars have any reliability issues.

Same chassis as the Revo, too.

I raced a 3.3 revo for years. By far the most fun I ever had racing rc. Electric was fun but doing a pit stop halfway through the race really made it feel real

[Deltaboyz]

It's funny I never had that problem with any of my nitro's ever its because people want all the nice stuff without educating them self so they blame the product

[twijers]

1:11 what u doing there kev😂 talking about "the wand"😂

[CaptainBlackmore-lr]

Well think about it, if you warm up the car before you leave it won’t die just pick it up and rev it and warm it up the glow plug inside stays hot from the combustion of the engine I never have an issue.

[davidhall]

I must admit it looked really quick and good handling once tuned up...it's so nice to finally see electric start up brilliant...I think also because it's noisy your kind of tuned in better when racing it.😉

My first car was an RC10gt. I stared at the ad in Car Action for a couple years until I could afford one in 1998. I went with a pull start engine and after about 2 weeks I pulled the starter off and stuck the bearing in a socket and used my drill. Now here in 2022 it is again on my dining room table, about to be converted to brushless. Thank you Kevin, for reigniting my love of RC cars.

[SpeedDemonExpress]

Show us how to install the remote start. That is nice!

[westoneaves]

I love my revo. Electric is faster and less maintenance, but there’s nothing like a nitro.

[ProjectRipper]

Your right Kevin makes it more fun to have a loud Winey smoke maker in your rc car for me it’s hilarious watching people come out there house to investigate the weird noise cause nobody in my town has ever seen a nitro car before 😂 love the vids kev

[thomasformosa]

Kev the nitros should be able to idle though a whole tank after being tuned, and you should be able to take off nicely after it idles for a little to, if they don't it usually means it's tuned wrong.

[TaigaTurf]

Nitro still has a better appeal than electric in RC planes.. especially 20cc and above.. the sound really makes a difference

[nityTeReZRaT]

Kev, can make anything better than it was with a little help here and there. Love the videos don't stop keep on moving forward.
