Hey guys!I've been lurking the forum for quite some time now, and did all of the research Ipossibly could before purchasing two Tornado's...
Before I even had the chance to take them out with the girlfriend, Imade sure to stock up on Nitro, glow plugs, tools, etc...(Hobby shop sold me glow plugs that are TOObig!)
It took over two hours to get my car started, and then the girlfriends was even worse. We a R/Cnut junkie come out to help us, and he got hers started, tuned and working PERFECTLY.
Mine on the other hand was off to a better start, but after running a few tanks, Inoticed that the car kept locking up in place while it was doing it's thing, and then all of a sudden it would let go.Ido believe this is because of the gear mesh being too tight, correct?Idid the paper test before Itook them out, and it was fine. But all signs pointed in that direction.Ialso heard that this is common for some R/C's while they're being broken in. Is this true?
My car ended up flipping a few hundred times due to a dip in the concrete, and Inoticed that all four shocks were toast. The screw piece on the bottom slid all the way down to the bottom of the stock, and the oil just went everywhere.I ended up fixing them one by one, but the car still seems fine. Is this a common thing to happen?
And one more thing before Itake my car back out... The idle screw doesn't seem to do much of anything for me. My car is stuck at a higher idle, and it just wants to take off... I've read so much on this issue, and just thought it would be adjusting the throttle servo, or just using the idle screw to close the carb gap. Well, nothing seems to work. Could the LSN setting have anything to do with this?
Thanks guys!I'm going to take mine out today before the girl comes home, and see if Ican fix these issues... Her's is working 100%, and I'm glad. Better me to have these problems than her!She would have just took them out on me!
