Default RE: Official Traxxas Jato 3.3 Thread


ORIGINAL: jaykay108

I am very new to Traxxas. I purchased a Jato 3.3 just to see what the hype was about. I followed the break in procedure to a T. After running my 5th tank I was preparing to tune my engine. I did several high speed runs and brought the truck in, as I brought it in, I realized that the truck was running approximately 20MPH without any throttle, I then shut it off. Ever since then, as soon as I start the truck, the wheels start turning at about the same speed. I have to start it off of the ground and take off quickly, when I try to stop the truck it dies. So far from Traxxas advice i have; adjusted the throttle trim to where the servo is not pulling the rod, lowered the idle screw to where the truck won't even run, and tried every high speed low speed needle combination, all of these methods produce the same result. The truck just won't come to a stop. Any advice?

Im not sure what model you have but when I have tuning trouble I just put it back 2 the factory settings and start all over.
