Hey everyone,
I got a quick little question about my Revo 3.3 Last few days I have been having some problems with my Revo 3.3. Just this afternoon I was actually using it, nice and sunny and around 64F out side. Great wheather to run in. Anyways, it seems after a minute or so of using when ever you come to a stop or even let go of the throttle for a little bit it shuts right off! It does this when taking off a bit. But i'm like 80% sure that it is not any of the gauges or to lean or anything like that. Revo expert at the hobby store tuned it about a week ago, I made no adjustments since. I've changed the glow plug quite a bit within the week as well. 2-3 times. Seems like there going through quickly. Anyways, after it stalls it has a really hard time starting to, sometimes it won't kick in until you let it sit a bit. My EZ start controller and glowplug heater are both charged very full.
So i'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else before? Do I need another new glow plug!? The one I got is like a day old. It starts, but seems to be stalling. The engine is warm enough, I just don't get it. It's all tuned great.
Anyone have any suggestions to get it running back to normal?
Thank-you.
Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrr before you go crazy with the tuning stuff you could just check the clutch spring to make sure its not broken or missing all together. If its the spring the car wont idle and is hard to start, but will work under throttle. I would start there. One way to check without taking things apart is to see if the car tries to roll when you put the Ez Start on. If it does your spring is no good.
