all the best.

Make sure you order the starter kit and fuel also.

Also suggest you get 12 AA size rechargeable batteries (800 mAh minimum) also ready (charged) before hand so you do not have to wait when the car comes.

As an alternate, use "Duracell" batteries only if you do not wish to invest in rechargeable batteries immediately.

Hi ,
I wan't to ask that after opening the box can we directly start and run the car or we have to do something (excluding batteries, charging glow plug and connecting remote with receiver).

You have to break in the engine...There is a special procedure - a few tanks of fuel to waste

For more details...watch...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4miE6YpgImo

That's right.

For all nitro cars or new nitro engines, break-in procedure has to be done for sure.

This is exactly similar to running a new car or bike slowly until the first service.

I should tune idling for tyres.....and carb for fuel problem......am i right
Title: Re: Thunder Tiger Tomahawk BX
Post by: bhaveshsangani on January 29, 2013, 10:02:19 PM
Reduce ur idling so that the engine race decreases, which inturn will prevent the car from moving in idle position.
Carb is Carbuerator . You will find the idling screw just under the air filter . Idling screw is a part of Carb which controls the air fuel mixture. Make it a little lean , just enough that the engine doesnt die off.

For fuel problem i think u need to play with ur HSN - High speed needle.



Even i am new into RC Cars , just bought TT Tomahawk ST a week before. Faced similar problems and this is how i resolved them...

Read the manual and set the HSN and LSN accordingly

Try turning your HSN (High Speed Needle) anti-clock wise by about half or a one full turn.

Let us know if that works.

Sounds like your tune is way off. How did you tune your engine? Start the car with the wheels off the ground and see if it sputters and stops when you accelerate. Turn the carb needles to factory position (will be mentioned in the manual or online) and then start tuning from there. Make sure you run the car a couple of laps after each adjustment of the needle. There should be smoke at all times through all rev ranges.

Let us know how it goes.

Didn't your vehicle come with a manual? Instead of posting on forums and waiting for a miracle, do your research. With nitro, unless you're willing to get your hands dirty, you won't get it running.

Start by reading the manual. All the answers you need will be there. Else google it! Its not that nobody is willing to help you. But putting up generic questions like why is it not running etc. cannot be answered by anyone.

What exactly is happening? Did you run-in properly? Did you check the carb needle settings? Did you check your glow plug for telltale signs of fueling? Is it not holding a tune? There are a million reasons why it won't run. But put in a little effort and you will love it! Half the fun of nitro is in the prep!

If nothing works, have it shipped over to a nitro user who is willing to help you tune it right.
