RC gas cars have been around for a while, but they’re becoming increasingly popular in hobby shops and race tracks due to their power and speed. Priming your RC car’s engine is one of the first steps in preparing it for a race, and doing it correctly can make all the difference in the performance of your vehicle.
The process of priming a gas powered RC car is fairly simple and straightforward. First, you’ll want to make sure that your car is on level ground so that oil does not leak out of the engine as you prime it.
Next, fill up the fuel tank with high-octane gasoline and add a few drops of two-cycle engine oil. This will lubricate the piston rings and keep them from wearing out too quickly.
Once these steps are complete, you’ll need to open up the air filter box located near the engine. You’ll then need to use a hand pump or an electric starter to rotate the engine several times until fuel can be seen coming out of the carburetor. After this has been done, it’s time to close up the air filter box and move on to priming your RC car.
To prime your RC car’s engine, take off its spark plug boot and insert a small amount of fuel directly into its spark plug hole. Next, put some fuel down into its carburetor throat so that it can reach all four cylinders evenly. Finally, replace the spark plug boot before turning on your RC car’s ignition switch.
Conclusion:
Priming a gas powered RC car is an important step in racing preparation that requires knowledge of proper procedures. The process involves filling up the fuel tank with gasoline and adding two-cycle oil before opening up the air filter box, rotating the engine several times until fuel comes out of the carburetor, and then inserting a small amount of fuel directly into its spark plug hole while also putting some down into its carburetor throat before replacing its spark plug boot and turning on its ignition switch.
