Try and be more descriptive with the titles of your threads so it can help other people with the same question. Example "Lightning Problems: Stalls after 5 seconds"
As for your Lightning, have you checked the glow plug and idle settings??? When you say it dies after 5 seconds, are you running it for that 5 seconds or just letting it idle??

it could be a bad glow plug, bad tuning, the high end needle should be 2-2 1/2 turns out from closed and the low needle should be even with the collar, you will need to have the idle set so that the carb is open 1mm. you may need to tune from this point but it should get you going.

It is different on every engine. Baseline settings will be 2.5 turns out on the high and flush with the collar on the low and a 1mm opening for the idle. You will fine tune it from there.

RE: ********HELP PLEASE*********
Wow MWR wants all these or sohe says and you dont even know how to tune them. You also need to break them in. I would think you would get just 1 truck and get to know how to break in, tune adn drive. All those at teh same time are just going to be a huge pain in the butt. Plus I really dont see anyone just dropping all this money on rc's just getting into them and also paying the huge cost of overnight shipping. Your talking about 1500 in rc's all in a day or so. I dont know but I smell something fishy about this one. You say our friend has an rc shop? Then why even look on teh net or ebay for trucks. If you had the money to spend on 5 rc's then why not get all name brand? If this is all true and you are a nooby like you make yourself out to be you really need to take this nitro rc stuff slowly or you can just make a huge mistake if you cant break in adn tune an engine properly. Also why not ask your FRIEND with an rc shop to help you tune them? Also what dont make sense is that your profile says you have 2yrs building and 4 yrs operating but yet you dont know how to tune. Also in your profile you show many trucks that you say you have but no real pictures.
