Nitro RC Cars are great fun to use but they are also a committed serious hobby that will need some time to – Maintain, fix and clean a nitro car. But this does not take too long to do and is a requirement to keep the car working properly and to maximize the performance.

Here’s what you need to know about starting out with nitro rc cars. Firstly there are some adjustments when you get a new nitro model even so they are sold as ( RTR) ready to run, on a nitro car there is a engine needle setting sometimes there are 2 on pro versions and the instructions you get normally have details on this for that particular model and is pre factory set but these often need to be adjusted and fine tuned regularly. With the needle it only needs to be turned a little, about a mm or so counter clockwise at a time and this should get you started and can be fine tuned until the nitro car runs smoother.

Also check all the screws are tight as these DO come loose all the time and if you lose a screw the car might not operate properly or worse you could lose a small part and then the car will need a spare part and be hassle for you.

As any new nitro radio controlled car there is an engine Break-in procedure for the engine. This means as it is a new engine you have to slowly run the first 4-6 tanks of fuel and no more than a few minutes each run, also make sure the body shell is off when doing this so it allows air to flow keeping the engine cool .

Also a important note is to make sure you only keep it at half throttle, with no revving the car or you will damage the engine and limit the performance as the engine must not get too hot, which is why you have to be patient and follow the above.

This is only a short time to do and believe me it’s worth the extra little effort.

Priming the engine with nitro fuel is quite easy and there are a couple of ways to do this. As you pull-start the engine on the nitro car, look at the clear fuel line this is a clear plastic tube so you can check to see if the fuel is reaching the carburettor, if the fuel does not flow all way though then first check there are no kinks in the pipe anywhere, if this is ok then you can prime the engine by putting one finger over the exhaust or air intake for only a few seconds ! While pull-starting the car until you see the fuel reach the engine. Make sure finger is not over exhaust for long or you will flood the engine and lock it up.

If this does not work then i find this option easier :grab the fuel line end that connects to the exhaust and wiggle it off and blow down the pipe and this will force the fuel in, push the pipe back on and that’s it.

If you do flood the engine on your nitro rc car the pull-start will become stiff and hard to pull.

Do not pull until you have unflooded the engine, now to do this you simply remove the glow plug from the heat head sink and turn the car upside down, then pull-start the engine a few times to expel the excess fuel out of the combustion chamber. Replace the glow plug and start over again.

Nitro rc cars are fast and can hit 70 mph and can do flips and jumps and great fun to race with others.

I have done a review on some nitro radio controlled cars and below are some great examples of nitro cars and what you get.

The cyclone nitro rc car is made by ACME Racing and is a outstanding model, a 1/10th scale car which is good quality made with features such as  – 18. Powerful Nitro engine with a simplified carb that makes these one of the easiest to start, also these engines are reliable . Also you get 4WD shaft system, oil filled shocks, metal brake system and a choice of body shells.

This is a great nitro rc car to start with and comes complete with a quality 27mhz controller. Want a PRO nitro car ? then acme racing have the cyclone Pro nitro rc car, which has all the above + a 2 speed gearbox and tough aluminium shock absorbers, fully raced bearings and a powerful nitro engine that hits 35 – 40 mph ! out the box.

I have one of these nitro cars and parts are always easy to get and this is great value for money, and an awesome fast rc car.

This next nitro radio controlled car is a massive 1/8th Scale and this can race at the highest level.

The VRX 1/8 th scale nitro rc car. This is a fully built 1/8 scale radio controlled rally cross nitro buggy that is packed to the hilt with features and would have to pay
extra for. This is a race proven model and every part of the design has been carefully thought about to make this a winner and remember this is not a entry level
or a 1/10 scale model .

 This VRX-2 is a serious bit of kit featuring
3 shoe aluminium clutch
Front cvd shafts
Tough aluminium parts throughout
it goes on &on.
A very powerful GO. 21 rear exhaust engine is installed which is from the newest engine manufacturer
in Taiwan that already has a excellent race track record. A high quality nitro rc car for the big boys or someone
looking for a pro “all done” buggy with carbon upgrades and all the spec the standard VRX has.

This PRO version comes with:
Carbon fibre center diff upper plate
Carbon fibre steering upper plate
Carbon fibre radio tray
Billet rear shock tower
Billet front shock tower

There are several things that one must know before seeking military jeeps for sale. There are some distinctions between the civilian jeep and military jeeps. A familiarity with military jeeps will ensure that the consumer knows what he or she is getting when the consumer finally makes a military jeep purchase.

Military jeeps for sale are vehicles that have been built for heavy duty work and are vehicles revered for their ability to handle well on rough terrain. These vehicles were created in the early 1940s to replace some of the 4×4 heavy duty trucks that soldiers were using during times of war. Military jeeps for sale possess a six hundred pound load capacity, smooth running engines, and offer 4WD capabilities too. Modern jeeps bear this similarity, and consumers appreciate the rough and rugged riding capabilities of such vehicles.

The very first mass produced military jeeps for sale that were used by the government and were identified as the Willys MB was later replaced by the after WWII by the Willys M38 in the 1950s. These military jeeps for sale also possess fold down windshields, and a 2-speed transfer case. The body of military jeeps is rectangular in shape and the military jeep weighs less than twelve thousand pounds. The latter combination of features was put into all military jeeps produced for use in WWII, and the military jeeps performed so well that they became a high demand vehicle for other industries as well.

When additional industries expressed a desire for military jeeps for sale, these vehicles were changed just enough to meet the needs of such industries. At that time, military jeeps for sale saw the incorporation of different steering, a new transfer case, and a change in the axle ratio was also added. Eventually, the government’s demand for military jeeps declined due to the creation of the Humvee, but civilians still appreciate the durability and longevity of the military-style vehicles.

If a consumer is seeking older military jeeps for sale they can best do so by using online auctioning sites; these types of sites can prove a serious asset to the consumer seeking a high quality military jeep in excellent condition. At minimum, the consumer can fully ascertain the condition of the exterior body of the jeep for sale, and can also learn about the various features that the jeep possesses. The consumer will want to review photo images of the jeep under consideration in order to look for signs of damage and rusting.

The vehicle description of military jeeps for sale may also offer up detailed information about any necessary repairs the jeep might require; the latter information can supply the jeep buyer with an idea about necessary parts expenses. If parts are required the consumer will want to research how much the parts will cost before making a jeep purchase. By researching parts costs, the consumer will have more than reasonable expense expectations.

To learn more about military Jeeps for sale, I recommend you checking out Used Jeeps for Sale. It is a specialized Jeeps for Sale site, offering a great selection of Brand New and Old Jeeps for sale. This website makes finding your dream Jeep a million times easier. Be sure to try this website before you buy.

Hyundai has become an increasingly popular carmaker in the Australian market, thanks largely to the ubiquitous Hyundai Excel. But it’s in the off-road market where Hyundai is now really making in-roads. Here we look at the off-road offerings from this emerging Korean carmaker.

Hyundai Tucson
The Hyundai Tucson offers a good off-roader at a great price. A new Tucson will set you back around $30,000 for the standard 2.7 litre V6 five door wagon. For the top of the range Tucson Elite S, you’ll pay around $33,000.

The Tucson has air conditioning, automatic transmission, driver and passenger airbags and anti-lock brakes all as standard equipment. One thing to consider though with the Tucson is its lack of real ground clearance which inhibits its off-road abilities. But despite this, the Tucson represents good value for money.

A good one owner Tucson in good condition should be relatively easy to come by. If you are looking at buying a used car, check for off-road damage in the body and try to go for one that has done little or no off-roading. Also, get an inspection from a qualified Hyundai mechanic.

Hyundai Santa Fe
The Hyundai Santa Fe has been a great success story for Hyundai in Australia. The Santa Fe should be considered more as a soft-roader rather than a serious four wheel drive. However, if you’re just looking to have a little fun on the weekends, then this may be a viable option for you. The Santa Fe looks great and has the same standard features as the Tucson. The Santa Fe is reasonably priced at around $34,000 brand new.

If you’re in the market for a used car, go for a one owner late model, as earlier vehicles weren’t built as well as later models. And remember to check underneath and in the body for signs of off-road damage, and get a professional inspection.

Hyundai Terracan
The Hyundai Terracan is much boxier in appearance compared with the Santa Fe and Tucson, but this vehicle is built for more serious off-roading and the boxier shape actually makes it look like it means business in the bush. The Terracan, as opposed to the Santa Fe and Tucson, has good ground clearance offering good entry and exit angles. The Terracan is in permanent four wheel drive and has a two speed transfer box for torque low down when the going gets tough. The Terracan has some little luxuries too, with front fog lights, an MP3 CD player and ABS brakes standard from 2004 models onwards. New car prices start from around $35,500 for the standard model and $37,500 for the Highlander.

If you’re looking for a used car, check for steering stability on the open road and check the body for damage from off-road use. Try and go for a one owner car made after 2004 as these will have the extra equipment as standard.

The 2010 Nissan Titan is a fine example of the full-size truck market. Often a vehicle this size performs best with a V8 or better, which is why Nissan equipped the Titan with a 5.6L V8 engine. So, expect a responsive engine that still keeps the fuel economy at a reasonable average.

With a 98.0 mm bore, a 92.0 mm stroke, and a 9.8:1 compression ratio, the 5.6L V8 in the 2010 Nissan Titan has the capacity to tow, haul and venture off road. A peak output of 317 horsepower occurs at 5200 rpm, while the maximum torque of 385 lb-ft is attained at 3400 rpm. Double overhead cams control each of the four valves dedicated per cylinder. Variable valve timing adjusts a total of 32 valves to optimize the intake and exhaust to the ever-changing demands of the driver. Multi-port injection, and the Nissan direct ignition system contribute to a robust engine with respectable gas mileage. Equipped with the 5.6L V8 the 2010 Nissan Titan can average as high as 15 mpg for the RWD models. The 4WD models can maintain an average of up to 14 mpg. And, depending upon regional availability, Nissan’s Flexible Fuel Vehicle Technology will permit the engine to run off of 87 octane gasoline or E85.

Rounding out these specs and features, the 5.6L V8 comes with platinum-tipped spark plugs for a better spark and greater plug life. A standard 650 CCA battery, with 710 CCA available on some models, provides ample current to start the engine in cold weather, while a 130 amp alternator recharges this battery and provides plenty of power for the on board electrical systems. And lastly, with an engine this powerful, Nissan’s 5.6L V8 still manages to remain Tier 2 Emissions compliant.

Four-wheel drive, 4WD, or 4×4 is a term used to describe a four-wheeled vehicle with a drive train that allows all four wheels to receive power from the engine simultaneously. The term has traditionally been linked to sports utility vehicles, or SUVs, which have been very popular in the United States, and are now becoming popular across Europe. The benefit of a car with four-wheel drive is that it allows for normal two-wheel drive on normal roads and superior four-wheel mode for low traction conditions such as snow, ice, slippery surfaces, mud or loose gravel.

In response to criticism by civic groups against using larger SUVs for daily urban trips, car manufacturers are now trying to position the smaller versions as green vehicles, with levels of CO2 emissions much closer to their conventional car equivalents than larger models. For example, Citroen recently launched the C-Crosser, only available with a particulate filter and frugal diesel engines.

These newer models are likely to be popular in Europe, where smaller SUVs have been more successful than larger models, and are likely to be a bigger driving force for sales of 4WD vehicles in the near future. Other examples include the Nissan Qashqai and the Renault Koleos, both combining four-by-four drive and limited off-road capabilities with the handling of a passenger car.

J.D. Power Automotive Forecasting estimated SUVs comprise 1.5 million out of 18.3 million vehicles, or 8% of the car market, in Europe in 2007. Of this quotient, 0.6% are small SUVs, 2.4% are large ones and 5.3% are medium-sized. By 2010, the SUV segment is estimated to grow to 10.1%, with medium growing to 7% and large slipping to 2.2%. By 2014, the SUV market is expected to increase to 11.2%, with medium-sized cars responsible for 7.6% and large cars for 2%. The total European new car market is then expected to be 21.9 million vehicles.

This is of course good news for car workshops. In recent years, TV shows such as MTV’s Pimp My Ride, have increased the popularity of overhauling, or, if you will, customising cars with things like game consoles, chrome wheels and faster engines. But before 4×4 owners go off trying to similarly overhaul their own vehicles, it might be best to invest in a new set of 4×4 tyres.

Donald Cheach, editor of Top Gear Malaysia, recently told the Malaysia Star: “The first thing I would recommend is definitely a set of better tyres. There is nothing wrong with go-fast upgrades as long as there is an equal effort to improve the safety aspect of the vehicle. The wheels represent the unsprung weight of the vehicle. Generally, the lighter this is, the more efficient the performance. Suspension should be looked at next, followed by engine upgrades”.

Ultimately, those looking to buy a new SUV in order to take advantage of its 4×4 capabilities, yet stay environmentally conscious, will find their needs well-met by upcoming medium and small sized SUVs, should they decide to pimp them or not.

These are some facts about driving in Australia;

• A cyclist or pedestrian can be lost in a blind spot from as close as nine meters and a driver can lose sight of another vehicle from about 20 meters.
• Driver vision is one area where new isn’t always better. Some modern vehicle designs compared poorly against older cars that featured discrete, thin and almost vertical front pillars.
• In Australia every week, one child is run over in the driveway of their home.*
• More than a third of pedestrians aged under six killed in motor vehicle crashes are struck down ‘off road’ in yards, car parks and driveways.

There are many reasons to install reverse sensors or cameras;

• Provides the driver with a clear view of what’s behind their vehicle while reversing;
• Reduces the chance of injury and fatalities to people or animals caused by poor/no  visibility;
• Reduce losses due to liability claims, legal expense and administration cost;
• Reduces manpower requirements – extra people are not required to assist when the vehicle is reversing into tight spots;
• Improve employee morale, efficiency and job satisfaction;
• Lowers the incidence of reversing accidents – and subsequently the cost of repairs to your vehicle and third party vehicle;
• Reduces downtime – keeping your vehicles on the road and away from repair shops;
• Improves your corporate image – no scratches and dents from reversing incidents to ensure your vehicles always looks the part;
• In many cases, lowers your insurance premiums when reversing cameras are installed – check with your insurance provider.

If you’re in the transport industry, fleet management or courier service, you’ll know all about the hassles of reversing your vehicle. You know how tricky it can be to maneuver into a tight spot and crowed places. Not to mention the serious safety issues involved.

It would be important to face the fact that many sport utility vehicles are gas gazzlers –but if as the buyer you choose carefully, you can find a compact or mid-size SUV that gets you a good gas mileage. A car will not consume as much as an SUV but most people will readily trade of their valued car with an SUV. The SUV are commonly regarded as the flamboyant vehicles that consume lots of fuel. The rise in SUV drivers has been instrumental in increasing the cost of fuels. These sport utility vehicles uses large amounts of gas as fuel. We can categorize them as the trucks; though they do appear to be passenger cars. SUVs have always been high maintenance vehicles. You should follow some tips to get the best gas mileage from your SUV.

If we look towards the estimates given by the SUV gas mileage, then we will observe the impact of gas mileage of SUV on the market. Making the automobile industries reconsider the designs of this luxury vehicle to facilitate best gas mileage in an SUV.

In the year of 2007, the best gas mileage of SUV was from Ford Escape. This best mileage Sport Utility Vehicle is the front wheel drive version of the Ford Escape, which runs around 31 cities and the mileage is 29 highway miles per gallon. Where as four wheel drive version gives result for 28 cities and around 27 highways.

Another version of Escape that is The Mariner, Mercury’s version, will give same mileage. All Ford and Mercury hybrid SUVs have four cylinder engines of around 2.3 liters, and are accompanied with CVT automatic transmission. This is a good start for the Ford as it is always searching to counterbalance estimates that are produced by the V-8s that are offered in journey and voyager.

Other vehicles that are tagging along with Ford are Lexus and Toyota. These two vehicle brands have a very high MPG pair of hybrid cousin. Lexus RX 400h with its two-wheel drive version and the version Toyota Highlander Hybrid both are having 3.3 liters of six cylinders engine to CVT automation will give result for 28 cities and 25 highway miles. Another version, which is 4WD of RX 400hand the highlander Hybrid is little less than this and claims to give the satisfaction of going around 27 cities and 25 highways using very little fuel.

All above mentioned estimates are of the Sports Utility Vehicles but some cars like Saturn Vue Hybrid shows these entire features in the general vehicles or motors which gives us a ride of about 23 cities and 29 highways. If we look towards the GMs history along with EV1 electric, we can expect lot more things in very short span of time. These all sport utilities vehicles described above are the best gas mileage sport utilities vehicles. These are made such as to consume less gas as fuel and hence they will give the high mileage. Best gas mileage you can get from an SUV will depend entirely on its manufacturer.

You’ve got some land or property and now you need a tractor. Finding one that suits your needs can be easier than you might think. Here are a few simple steps .

First and foremost, you need to determine your needs. What will you need your tractor to do? Do you have an acre or two that needs mowed once or twice a week? Do you need a tractor for mowing, towing, snow plowing, carrying items, gardening or harvesting fields? Be sure to get enough tractor that will handle the attachments you are going to use.

Gas or Diesel?

Do you need a gasoline or diesel powered tractor? For most residential, mowing applications gasoline powered tractors are the way to go. If you have more than five acres and plan on doing some plowing, hauling, heavier mowing and adding any attachments then diesel is probably the tractor of choice.

Lawn Tractors

Lets look first at your average lawn mower. Something that will be pretty much be used for mowing and nothing else. Your average “lawn tractor” can range anywhere from $1500 – $4500 and range from 15HP- 25HP with gasoline engines. Good reliable used lawn mowers can be purchase from a few hundred dollars up to $3000 depending on age and condition. Some of the higher HP model lawn tractors can also be used for occasional snow plowing and other heavier tasks but are best suited for mowing with or without a grass catcher and pulling a cart. Most all lawn tractors are belt driven with limited parts availability and are designed to last a short period of time.

Garden Tractors & Compact Tractors

Next lets look at property owners that have 3 – 15 acres and the need for plowing, gardening, mowing, cutting and loading. In my opinion we have two classes of tractor we can look at here. You can consider a “garden tractor” or a “compact tractor”. A garden tractor is a tractor that is really a lawn tractor with a heavier built to it and with the capability of some attachments like a tiller, a blade, snowblower and larger mower decks (usually 54in – 60in decks). Most garden tractors are also shaft driven and can last for many years if properly maintained and not pushed beyond their limits. They can be gasoline or diesel. They usually sell new for $6000 – $10000 with a mowing deck,and can be purchased used for $2500 – $6000 depending on condition.

My personal recommendation for this scenario would be a “compact tractor”. A compact tractor is basically a miniature tractor with full size tractor capabilities such as mowing, cutting, loading, digging, tilling, plowing and hauling. They have diesel engines ranging in size from 15HP – 30HP. Most of them have full hydraulics, 4WD, mid and rear PTO’s, high and low range, roll over protection and are built to work. They have a life expectancy of up to 30 plus years if properly maintained. Parts are readily available. These compact tractors can handle many implements like large belly mowers up to 72in., rear mowers, tillers, blades, loaders, plows, backhoes, sweepers and more. The reliability of these tractors makes for a great used tractor. A new compact tractor with a mower can range from $10000 – $20000, depending on the size and model. Great used compact tractors can be found for as low as $5000.

Farm Tractors

If farming is in your future and you have many acres to tend to, you are best advised to consult with a dealer or fellow farmer before making a purchase. There are many, many choices when it comes to large tractors and farming equipment and it is best to make sure you get the right equipment the first time as these tractors can be a very large investment. Once you have the specifics you need, then search for a new or used tractor that will meet your exact needs for HP, and capabilities.

Pricing

Before you get sticker shock, realize that tractor purchases are long term commitments and that with proper maintenance and use they can last for 30 years or more. When you consider the life span and work they do, the prices will seem reasonable.

Attachments can also seem expensive as well. A loader for example will cost $3000 – $5000. A simple blade can run $300 – $500.

Once you have a tractor and some attachments, you’ll wonder how you ever did without them. I remember when I purchased my compact Kubota four years ago. I took my wife with me and I bought a 60in mower and a loader with it. When my wife saw the price she about died! Since we’ve owned it, she has on many occasion told me that it has been such a great thing to have. We only have 5 acres but get so much use from the loader. I don’t know what we ever did without it!

Gray Market Tractors

Because good used tractors are so reliable, there is a high demand and a relatively low supply of them and good used tractors sell very quickly. A tempting way of saving money is buying an “off-brand” tractor or a gray market tractor. These are usually imported machines designed for use in other markets, being sold semi-legally here. While they can be much cheaper than standard tractors, there are a couple of significant drawbacks.

One is that the PTO systems are not always compatible with US standards. Many of them do not have a mid PTO which is needed if you want a belly mower. A second issue is parts availability. It can be difficult or impossible to find replacement parts here if it’s a model designed for use in other markets.

What ever you do, make sure you buy a tractor that will do what you need it to. The worst thing you can do is to push the equipment beyond it capabilities. It not only significantly shortens the life span but can be dangerous as well.

Before making your purchase, do your research. Check with other owners, dealers, web forums and manufactures sites for information. When your ready to make the purchase be sure to check here with Tractor Shopper for deals on your next new or used tractor!
