Hey guys,
I got a Tornado XP about a week ago. I'm new to the nitro cars but have been in RC for about 18 yrs. Maybe you guys can help. I got my engine broke in well, and am trying to tune it. I'm havin trouble with it stalling at WOT after it revs up. It gets to that point nicely then stalls. I looked at all these threads and did everything recomended. I tried richening it up and looked for air leaks (about ten times), lol. I've only been adjusting the high speed needle and idle adjustment screw. Is there a low speed adjustment screw that I'm overlooking. These manuals arent reral clear. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Oh, and about the gear stripping problem. When I used to race electric cars, We'd take apart the gear box and use a real fine file to clean up any burrs or rough spots on the gears. I did this to mine and used the paper method to space my gears when i put it together. I got about 7 tanks in so far and no wear is noticeable at all, although Ive only been on flat ground so far, at least til i get it tuned. I did have my own little hiccup though. My right front shock blew its oil everywhere, and this was on road driving, I didnt even hit a pothole yet. Anyone know what shocks I can use as a direct fit thatll work better.
Thanks,
Pyro
