Status: offline 		i've been making me kind of a little dirt place to play and have jumps and stuff, but today when i was driving, it was really really dusty. i cleaned my airfilter the first time after 3 tanks, and the 2nd time i ran about 4-5 tanks and quit for the day. and the airfilter had dirt all on it both times. i know if it gets really dirty you get less and and then less power right? which i think i expericend on the last tank. besides loss of power what other effects does it have on the engine?? which i think even at 5 tanks its about 40 mins of run time for my jato (a tank last about 8 mins).

and also how i said i might have expericend a loss of power on the last tank ( it seem like it didn't accelerate as fast as usual) so my other question is, the batteries for my servos i think are getting weak, and the throttle arm doesn't seem to be opening as fast as it did, so could that be some of my loss acceleration, or does it not have anything to do with it??

Status: offline 		i only own one traxxas but i clean my air filter about once a weak and i run about 15 mins everyday.. but thats not very good. but the airfliter should be clean becuase once u get crap in the engine it willl ruin the compression but i need to know if u are using AA batteries or did u buy a rechargeable battery pack becuase if u are using AA then u should definatly switch

Status: offline 		Just pick up a RX pack they are like 20$ Your servos will have alot more grunt. And have longer runs and more runs between charges

Status: offline 		well i just replaced the batteries, just playing with it without the motor running. the new batteries make it open WOT twice as fast as it did when i checked the old ones before removing them. LOL does that have an effect on how fast you accelerate? it just seemed like it wouldn't take off as fast as usual, and didn't pop wheelies like normal. so i was just wondering what yall have to say about it.
