Today My Volcano STX Erupted
I took my Volcano STX out of it's box,looked it over really well checking for loose screws or anything that could be missing or anything that didn't belong.I then forced my ant wire though the protector,after putting the batteries in the batt box.Put in some 10% nitro in the tank,and attemted to pull the engine over.It was really tight,so tight that it felt defective.
I put a few drops of fuel in the carb,and turned the engine with my finger, because I was afraid I'd Break the rope. the more I turned it over the better it felt.The I set the idle screw
to where I felt it would start.Placed my finger over the throat of the carb and pulled the rope about five times.Place the glow plug igniter on the glow plug and tried to start it up.
Finally it starts up,and after a little trimming the truck just sat there purring like a
Red Cat...Then I took it for a few warm up passes,gradually working up the throttle.
It really was running sweet the all of the sudden it just shut off...one tank of fuel.
Checked it out real good filled the tank and off we go again. This time I was trying to get a little more speed out of it with out adjusting the fuel mixture screw.
This is a fast truck even on 10% it will roll.When I run this gallon out I am going to 20%
and I'm pretty sure the Volcano STX will do some impressive speeds...
it already wants to fly
