My car will not idle for nothing. The idle screw is turned all the way to the right which is where its obviously suppose to be because when the guy at the hobby store checked that he said it looked right.

When I crank my buggy I have to give it throttle or it won't start, I've seen some buggys/trucks start up and just sit there and idle with out giving it any gas.

I was wondering what can I adjust or fix to help this.

After I run it for awhile it will idle for about 15 seconds and then it stalls.

Thanks to those who help

I also heard that if I turn the throttle up on the controller, that will help?



I think the LSN adjustment sounds better though.

Alright, I thought messing with the trim will just make my wheels want to spin...which isn't fixing the idling problem


I will try the LSN tomorrow most likely, if the rain can hold off
