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.
