Well i got to start up my new Jammin today . It fired right up after about 20 seconds .Then i was able to let it go back and forth in this large dirt area.There is a long paved road with large dirt areas to either side ran it 200feet one way the back the other wich was easy on the truck. I was able to heat cyle it about 5 times so far and got 3 tanks through it.It starts right up and the roto start system is great.only tweeks i have to make are adjusting the servo arm for the steering ,,, it was pulling slightly to the right with full trim. and i have to lower the idle setting so it will settle down abit .. its was a pinch too high.I think those adjustments are all set now .Ill check it next time out .The truck is running with plenty of smoke , a good puff with each blip of the gas // so i can lean it out a little soon into the next few tanks.I havent made any full throttle runs yet but i can see the stock engine has plenty of grunt.No idleing on a box for this thing and im sure that was the best way to do it .

AUTOMAG

hey just charged my batteries back up and the car doesnt want to turn back on hummm grrrr i hope the radio gear comes to life .

AUTOMAG

I hope this stock radio gear doesnt give me trouble everytime I have to unplug the batteries to charge them..we dont have a track here but my friend has a tmaxx and maybe a few other guys will pick up an Rc i hope we will get to crash around together,,we could set out some cones for a track .sorry about the blurry picture . The camera is a pocket cam about the size of a credit card and yes that 357 is really a keeper.

nice
i plan on gettin one soon
is it fast? my lhs said its plenty for all around usage
just have to pick up some road hawgs
they also recomend a new steering servo a high torque model

AUTOMAG

Hey mayhem, yes i would say its pretty fast although i havent floored it yet.I was running it in a wide open area with lots of room and it was a handfull. The .28 engine has lots of torque.I dont know about others but i like the rotostart system to.i can see this engine will be a breeze to start. its lights right up.I did wash the thing when i was done and didnt realize it but i got the servos wet.it was funny even a cop car came back there and did a half dohnut.

nice yea my mayhem has a26 and shaftstarter and i love it

AUTOMAG

i have been trying to dry my reciever with a hair dryer . do you guys think the radio function will return ??? i f;ip the switch and only get a slight twich in the throttle servo nothing on the steering and no other function... i should have just left it dirty.. being clean will cost me money now

AUTOMAG

Mayhem i wish i could race you to see whos got more top speed..

AUTOMAG

Well today I upgraded my radio.I went and got a Futaba magnum 3Pm , fm, set up. Its really much nicer than the stock am radio.. I also sealed up the reciever in a plastic bag tight as possible to avoid water getting to it at anytime.. The stock steering servo seems to be doing the job but ill probably get a better one and us that one for throttle work.Its nice to be up and running again I have a question . is the gold colored screw the throttle stop screw on this thing ??? the dirrections were unclear to me .. the angled smaller screw would be the LSN correct ???
