Cool man, dig it! What? Tony a Beatnik No, I’m not that old! I’m always on the lookout for some unique r/c products and especially like companies and people that are innovative and inventive. With the help of Ryan Morgan, local crawler and reigning president of the Western New York Radio Controlled Rock Crawlers club (WNYRCRC), I found the Dig Switch from PunkRC. Ryan takes us through a bit of a how to / review.

Our resident artist/painter Ben Boyle (extremetmaxxer here on the boards) was kind enough to share a great step by step tutorial on how to paint real looking water droplets.

Once a nitro engine has been run through several tanks of break-in it’s finally time to tune the engine for racing. Here is the following procedure that I go through after I have broken an engine in or when I have arrived at a new track where the weather and air conditions are different from where I have previously used the engine.

Proper assembly and set-up of the clutch is one of the most important parts of running a nitro powered vehicle. Many times people have come to me asking why their engine isn’t running right or generating the power they want coming off the corners. Over 75% of the time the tune on the engine isn’t the problem. They are loosing power because the clutch isn’t set-up properly. Here are some building and tuning instructions in order to get your push type/centax clutch to perform like it should so you can get the most out of your nitro engine.
