SUMMARY

The forum discussion focuses on enhancing the performance of an RC car equipped with a 3.2 HPI engine and a two-speed transmission system. Key issues identified include low pickup, steering difficulties, excessive vibration, and the use of aluminum for the chassis. Participants suggest that tuning the engine and optimizing the fuel mix, specifically the nitro and oil content, are critical for performance improvement. Recommendations also include considering a new engine or even a new RC car for significant upgrades.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of two-stroke engine mechanics
  • Familiarity with nitro fuel composition and tuning
  • Knowledge of RC car chassis materials and their impact on performance
  • Experience with RC car maintenance and upgrades
NEXT STEPS
  • Research tuning techniques for two-stroke engines
  • Explore optimal nitro fuel mixtures for enhanced performance
  • Investigate alternative materials for RC car chassis construction
  • Learn about vibration dampening solutions for RC vehicles
USEFUL FOR

RC car enthusiasts, hobbyists looking to enhance performance, and anyone involved in the maintenance and tuning of nitro-powered vehicles.

How to post image here
Its our rc car driven by 3.2 hpi engine 2 speed transmission system, bell crank steering mechanism , fuel use nitro+mthnol
its a two stroke engine two wheel drive
question:how to increase the pick up?Pick up is very low of our car.And also turning problem and too much vibration how to control vibration and chasis is of aluminum can u suggest other material?

Img uploded suggest me
 
You really haven't given enough information for us to help you. It would help to know what fuel mix you are using (oil and ntiro content) along wit what engine your running, how much time on it, has the engine been tuned, etc.

With what you said, I'm just going to suggest get a new engine or just buy a new RC car all together.
