Default RE: need help with my nitro car

Hi all, once again i got it to start with half trim, Had a run around my back yard and I noticed that it will cut out straight away when I try to brake.
Could you tell me what this could be.

Thanks!

Default RE: need help with my nitro car

ok this is easy if u know how to adjust the engine...ur idle screw is to lose meaning the carb opening is to small and isnt allowing enough air into the engine to keep it running. so try tightening the idle air screw to open the carb to a min of 1mm all the time so it doesnt cut out. Also see if there is something wrong with the drivetrain cause u brake may bog down the engine in some way. DO u know how to tune an engine correctly and adjust throttle linkage? Cause adjusting the linkage is better than trim on the radio.
How do u like that stick radio....i dont like them as u can get much more precise with a trigger model(for me that is)....
