RE: help with tuneing your gas car
you're linkage needs adjusting if it dies when you put on the brakes, and you just have to have patience, a NITRO motor will always need tuning every time you run it.

RE: help with tuneing your gas car
If you hit the brakes and the engine dies then you need to adjust your idle screw. When you hitthe brakes it is closing the carb, which will cause it to die when you hit the break's. Turn on the electrics on the truck and on the transmitter, then take the air filter off and hit the brakes. The carb should be 1-2mm for a rotary carb and .5mm for a slide carb. when you hit the brakes if the opening become less then those then you will have to adjust the idle till it doesnt close more then those sizes.
As for the tuning it depends what engine you have. For some engine's yes you may have to tune every time you go out and sometimes two or three times when your driving it if your engine is sensitive to ambient temp, humidity and other changed. But I have a engine that I rarely if ever have to touch the needles, on when there are major ambient temp and major humidity changes is when I hafe to touch them. But when it comes down to it. it depends on the engine and where you live. If where you live the ambient and humidity loves to change a lot and make major changes then tuning will have to be done with any engine. But as I said before you might just have a engine that is sensitive to those changes.
