Default Dissappointed so far



I am having nothing but issues with my Earthquake 3.0 so far. 1st off was the plastice piece that connects the steering servo to the steering linkage was broken from the factorey, I replaced it with a generic servo saver but now the steering is horrendous.

I can't get the engine to run whatsoever to even break it in, I have about 1 1/2 tanks of fuel through it so far, I am now trying to drive for the 2nd tank in the break-in but i can't get the car to idle right at all. If I slow the idle down to where the car doesn't take off then the engine dies, if I speed it up enough to keep the engine running then there is no point in using the throttle for the driving because then the rpm's go to high, and then it is very hard to stop because the brake is trying to stop a car while the driveline is still pushing it.

I have had the car for a week now and Ihave not had any enjoyment with it at all. Extremely dissappointed so far.

Right now I have the low speed needle about 1 1/2 turns out, the high speed needle about 4 turns out and the idle needle is set to about 1 to 1 1/2 MM.

Can anyone help me out?? I researched these cars and everything pointed to them being a quality product, please someone get me going int the right direction so I am not proven wrong.</p>
