Default Sound Right?

I need some info from you redcat pros(ehroof, Clermont Hobby, Kuppler, anybody else?) on how my volcno sv is running. It's completly stock, and i dont think i have it tuned in very vell. It likes to die when i slow down too much, which you will see at the end of the clip. This may be because of the cold weather but I'm not sure. My 4-wheel-drive was out in this video (but its fixed now) and that is why i dont have much control.

most of the prob is the cold weather and snow I was out running yesterday when it was 3 degrees out and car ran like crap you have to adjust according to the weather also I mean it will run different in 10 40 70 90 degree weather you have to tune to these measures


If it was warm outside you might be running perfect

sounds like the high needle is too rich, depending on the temps outside you may need to lean it a little, try a 1/4 turn and see if you see an improvement. If its very cold out, dont lean it too much or you will rob the engine of much needed oil.

Hey perhamrocks,

Good to see another Redcat owner in Minnesota. I was having the same problem the other day. It was too rich and before I got it close, my glow igniter was dead. Oh well, have to wait a few days before it gets a little bit warmer outside[8D]. Isn't Minnesota weather great.
