HPI Racing Nitro RS4 MT2 18SS 12024 Race Kit F.A.Q.

What is the break-in procedure for the Nitro RS4 MT2 18SS engine?

Begin by starting the engine and allowing it to idle for a full tank. For the next 4-5 tanks, drive the car at half throttle, avoiding prolonged full throttle. Gradually increase throttle as you progress through the tanks to ensure proper engine break-in.

How do I tune the engine for optimal performance?

Start with the factory settings on the high-speed and low-speed needles. Adjust the high-speed needle first for maximum power while ensuring a slight trail of smoke. Fine-tune the low-speed needle for smooth idle and acceleration.

What should I do if the engine stalls frequently?

Check the glow plug and replace it if necessary. Ensure the fuel line is clear and the carburetor is properly tuned. Verify that the air filter is clean and the idle speed is set correctly.

How can I improve the suspension setup for off-road racing?

Adjust the shock oil viscosity and spring tension to suit the track conditions. Use softer suspension settings for rough terrain and stiffer settings for smoother, high-speed tracks.

What maintenance is required after each race session?

Clean the chassis and engine thoroughly. Check for loose screws and tighten them. Inspect the air filter, clean or replace it as needed, and lubricate all moving parts.

How do I troubleshoot inconsistent steering response?

Check the steering servo and linkage for any binding or damage. Ensure that the servo saver is not too loose. Adjust the steering trim on the transmitter for precise control.

What fuel is recommended for the Nitro RS4 MT2 18SS?

Use high-quality nitro fuel with a 20-25% nitro content for best performance. Ensure the fuel is fresh and stored properly to maintain its quality.

How do I prevent the engine from overheating?

Ensure the cooling head is clean and unobstructed. Avoid running the engine too lean, which can increase temperatures. Use a temperature gauge to monitor engine heat and adjust tuning if necessary.

What steps should be taken to store the car long-term?

Drain the fuel tank and run the engine until it stalls to clear the fuel lines. Clean the car thoroughly, remove the batteries, and store the car in a cool, dry place. Lubricate metal components to prevent rust.

How do I replace the glow plug on the Nitro RS4 MT2 18SS?

Use a glow plug wrench to carefully remove the old glow plug from the engine. Insert a new glow plug, ensuring it is seated properly, and tighten it securely without overtightening.
