Default Cant get it to idle.

OK I have a tower terror and I can get it to run if I give it a little throttle but if I let off it dies. Also the wheels roll when I hold it but when it is on the ground it does not roll. Is that what it is supposed to do? I am new this is my first truck please help.

Sounds like you just need to double-check your LSN and Carb settings. Yes, you will get different results when the truck is under "no load." That thing is something like 13-15lbs, so you have to overcome the weight when it's on the ground.

But it should roll correct? It wont move it is like the brakes are on the tires just slide across the floor.

OK I fixed it the gears wear bound up. And that fixed the idle problem also. I just finished running my second tank through and the power is starting to show up. It is still sluggish in the low end though.
