• How do I break in my specific TAYLOR RC engine?

  For most TAYLOR RC big-bore engines, allow the engine to idle with intermittent throttle blips for the first 5 minutes to reach operating temperature, then let it cool. For the first 2-3 tanks of fuel, operate the vehicle at medium speeds with a rich fuel tune to ensure adequate lubrication before tuning for maximum performance.

• What vehicles are TAYLOR RC engines compatible with?

  TAYLOR RC engines are designed for large-scale (1/5 scale) RC vehicles. Common compatible platforms include the HPI Baja, Losi 5ive-T, Kraken Vekta, and Primal Raminator. Specific installation kits or brackets may be required depending on the chassis.

• Do I need a kill switch for TAYLOR RC engines?

  Yes, it is strongly recommended to fit a remote kill switch to any large-scale RC engine for safety. Most standard 1/5-scale kill switches are compatible with TAYLOR RC ignition systems.

• How do I prime the carburetor on my engine?

  If your engine uses a Walbro WJ carburetor without a primer bulb, engage the choke and pull the starter cord until the engine fires or fuel is visible moving through the line. The internal pump will draw fuel during cranking. Once primed, disengage the choke to start.
