Ofcourse every now and then we get flame outs. But was causes them.

While running recently, I had about 5 flame outs. Each time, I was I was involved in a bump or a spin. I was spun around twice. Flamed out both times. I cut a turn to tight, ran over a corner dot spun and hit a rail, flamed out. I got rear ended, flamed out.


Anyone with some experience help out with a answer here?
If I read the original post, it said that each flame outs was due to a bump and spin. To me, the car was running (throttle up) and then the bump spin made the driver let off the gas (throttle down). When the LSN is lean, the flameout or stall will occur as if you went from WOT to idle.

If you go from idle to WOT and the engine stall, it is more likely that the HSN is too lean.

I don't know about the rest but the term "flameout" in this case is the proper lingo in r/c and is understood by most of us (rcers).
