Hey,
This thread is for my cousin. Although he was strongly advised not to get a Losi, he got one anyway because he said it had a better electronics package. Well, he is paying for it now! It always is breaking something and now the motor will not run(typical Losi) The Mach .15 will start but after a few seconds of idling it dies and that is it. And after it dies he is done for the day because it will not start after that. I am at a loss on how to help to help him. The motor will not run. Idles for a little bit and dies and cannot be restarted until it has sat for a long while. Any help will be appreciated! I will not let him forget that he should have got a GT!

Later

Associated all the way!!!

Hello!
I sounds as if your engine runs to lean....!Thats the most frequent fault newcommers do......
Just see to that the engine gets enough fuel and it will worK!
Open the high-speed needle some and try again....
If this doesn`t work check for dirt in your carb! or a leak somewere in the tank /fuellines.
And do not use to much nitro in these car engines...I have seen many small car engines (Kyosho and others) work much better on 0-5% nitro than higher nitro contents.
