WHAT HAPPENED TO MY RAMINATOR MONSTER TRUCK? | RC ADVENTURES

This truck is one of my favourite RC's in my collection. It is HUGE, has MASSIVE TIRES and in general - has PRESENCE. This is the PRIMAL RC Raminator 1/5th scale Monster Truck - that is Gas Powered. It comes with a stock 49cc gas engine.. but as I have discovered a surprising small exhaust pipe for what it's supposed to do. Don't get me wrong... after 6 or 7 tanks of gas through this truck.. the thing RIPS.. but you are still left wanting "a little bit more" speed. TMR PERFORMANCE () had the answer to my issue for speed.. and kindly sent me one of the original 5 engines that were modified for this truck. I was SO EXCITED to get it in the truck, that I bypassed doing an install video.. and wanted to surprise my viewers! But to my surprise.. upon install.. the engine seemed to be lacking power. Less power than when I used the stock engine.
I continued to tune the engine.. and although the engine seemed to be providing a bit more power.. it seemed to be revving very high.. but not going anywhere fast. This was confusing to me, and I immediately contacted Alan, the man behind TMR Performance modified engines. He was super helpful in trying to troubleshoot my issues. We had decided it was having an issue with the clutch shoes burning out.. and possibly not getting enough airflow through the constricted stock pipe. In this video.. I look at the difference between a normal 34cc engine pipe, and the 49cc engine pipe that comes stock. Then I look at the prototype pipe that TMR had sent me to use.. an "old" version of their Newest Pipe.. soon to hit the market.
Watch along.. and see what I find.. I am interested to know more. I am 3800' above sea level, where I am located.. and this engine is supposed to run 50:1 mixture. Being the winter time.. this may be a challenge to tune.. but shouldnt be. Alan has mentioned the carb he put on this engine is for a 60cc.. as it was just the right balance of power for the setup he designed.
We will get this truck ripping.. and I can hardly wait!
