Default RE: Help a noob out with Matrix?

***UPDATE*** O.K. First off my beef with CEN. I left them a message saying I was having problems with my new car. That was friday morning. They haven't called me. NOT COOL!!

Today I took my car to a hobby shop 1 hour from here, the closest one. They helped me for about an hour for free, even though I have never bought anything from them. VERY COOL!

Their resident car guy tried to program the twitching out of my throttle servo. While it seemed to help a little, the servo still twitches all over the place.....like it has a mind of it's own. It now goes to full throttle for about 10 seconds when you first turn on the reciever....then settles down a little. One of the reasons I bought this car was because the magazines raved about the servos and I was glad I wouldn't have to replace them soon. I think CEN should send me a new servo........what do you think?

I got the car started and decided to try tashpop's suggestion of leaving the glow heater on. That cured the stalling and I was able to run about a tank through. I'm wondering if this will damage the glow starter. It's a Dubro EZ-GLO.

Stll looking for the stock or break-in needle settings...........anyone?

I'm going to take my car to a school parking lot tommorow to see if I can get 3 or 4 tanks through.

Thanks everyone for your help........and keep any suggestions coming.
