say what you want about JQ, this video and the long version of this, is pure GOLD info. Thanks dude!!

[chuckwalters]

Oly cow! You just CLEARLY explained an issue id been having for many years in one short video! Thank you!

[elsevarbabayev]

I have watched 100s of videos about the setting of carburators. But this one definitely the easiest and the best explanation.

[VasyaIvanovichPupkin]

For the record, both videos are very vlauable. I watched the whole thing about 2.5 times. Now I just need a recap, so this is just a great summary!

[jackdurden]

I just finished the long video for the third time and came here just to be safe, only to see what I had just watched and taken many notes of. Still, watch the long video people! It’s definitely worth it! 🤟

Every tuning video I’ve seen has nothing on this guy. Great channel, superb.

[SentinelGames]

I must thank you for the advice and easy to digest explanation. Using your information I am now able to tune my nitro engines perfectly, and most importantly I actually understand what's happening which makes the process easier to replicate and dial in. Thanks so much!

[nigelw.]

Well I'll be damned. Went out yesterday and fired up my Reds R5R and this $hit works. Was able to get a non-double idle tuned in without much trouble.

[emilnilssonswe]

This video is what every beginner should watch, also a good reminder.
Great vid! 💪

[victortellez]

Finally a real breakdown on how to tune your R/C Nitro. Thank you!!

[rc-jatodaniel]

Same here. There is no one else then you JQ that have explain this better. With the combo of explain and
show/hear the engines different tune it is so much easier to understand how to do this right. I have finally been able to tune my engines.
Big thumbs up for this and thank you for your education in engine tuning :).

[alfie]

This has to be the easiest way tuning a rc race engine, I really learned a lot I’m literally a Rookie at this and I just purchased the Serpent SRX8 RTR so your video so far is simple and to the point, I’ll be using your video for reference for tuning my engine.
Great instructional video 👍👍👍👍👍
I’ll pass the word around vato

[rcbustanut]

This is awesome, thanks 👍
I did watch your full video on this prior to this video. But this one just gave me more confidence that I was doing the right thing yesterday during the break in process on my Losi 8ight Buggy, my 1st nitro car. That's exactly what I noticed, that as I adjusted my low needle, the rpm went up so I had to adjust the idle needle to lower the rpm. In my case of course I was trying to run as rich as possible to keep the engine lubricated. But I managed to get it to run rich to the point where it was spitting oil from the pipe & yet not stalling. I also made sure to heat up the engine prior to starting it & to maintain the temp while idling. I then let it cool between tanks. Was able to get 3 idle tanks in. Now she's ready for slow figure 8 break in runs.
Thanks for these amazing 'how to' videos! 😎👍

I’ve watch many tuning videos and this video made tuning click in my head. Got my tmaxx with a stock carb singing on top with a snappy bottom. Got the same results with my 8ight t.

My biggest issue is getting the idle to drop down after coming to a stop. This was a huge help I am getting back into Nitro, not racing because the closest track is over an hour away, but I will be picking up an HPI WR8 Nitro Subaru Impreza to mess around with. If I can get enough people interested I have room for a proper 8th scale track and I will build one

[jdsstegman]

Great video. Sadly most people do not understand this topic. I have an post on fbook offering to help people and im bombarded with people who can't tune thier engine.

I'm glad you made this video.

[petercole]

People over complicate nitro tuning.. I agree on the "Factory settings" not being the best method comment .. I prefer sound, temperature and feel..! I'm digging the JQ YouTube channel!! Dude knows his stuff and it make sense when he is explaining something..

[RBAERO]

Really nice video. Suggestio talk about glow plugs hot and cold ones and for next videos. How to you break in your engines and how to identify problems on nitro engines.

[HessenFingerboarder]

I'm new to the whole rc thing and started with a nitro buggy. everybody was talking about you have to understand the engine, how it works etc.. didn't get the engine to work right, but now after months of trying I finally found your video and my whole understanding went from zero to a hundred!
it's just so easy to understand now. set the idle with the low speed needle and after that set the high speed needle.
thank you!
