RC Gas Power Truck Problems?
i Have 2 gas powered trucks one is a Duratrax Maximum ST with a Torq.12 Engine and one is a older Kyosho Rampage with a older O.S Max CZ Engine on it now my torq.12 piston rod broke off and i cant get the piston out of the sleeve what can i do is this why it broke 2nd the o.s max is fine but i cant get it to keep running somtimes it starts and runs for a sec or 2 what can i do what kins of glow plug does the o.s max cz engine take and where can i get parts for the Kyosho Rampage
It’s a very long time since I had anything to do with glow motors, but let’s try.
It sounds like your torq .12 has siezed, was the oil mix correct?
I wouldn’t worry about getting the piston out of the sleeve, it and the sleeve are probably U/S anyway. Is this sleeve pressed/ cast/ shrunken so it’s part of the crankcase casting, or is it a separate part? If separate, I would be replacing the sleeve, piston, and rod all, and check on the crank journal, it could show damage also. It almost sounds like a new engine might be a better deal.
If it needs separation anyway, try dropping it into hot water and then try again to remove it.
My experiences with glowplugs? Well, is it cutting out when the glowplug is disconnected, or with the juice on? It should be impossible to cut out if still powered, you probably have a fuel feed problem. If the OS has a reed induction valve, it might be stuck open by some debris.
Otherwise look at everything from the tank on.
If it cuts when the juice is off, well, glow plugs can be cantankerous things. I often used to find that even changing the plug for one that had previously given me problems would get me running for that day.
The element has a coating of platinum, or is of platinum, the reason is that when hot, the platinum will continue glow when subjected to alcohol fumes. If plated, the element may burn off the platinum and become useless.
Sometimes picking the element with a pin will position part of the element closer to the combustion chamber and make a non- functioning plug work, at the risk of breaking it.
Pretty obviously I don’t know what plugs are available these days, so can’t help with either that subject or as to where to buy Kyosho parts.
Have fun.
