Hi guy's hows everybody been.I'm back to ask for your help?
This question is about a Tamiya Tnx not my redcat volcano.I
own the original 3.0 Tnx.It had been a great truck until now.
First,my hobby shop was out of my fuel (white lightening) so
I bought byrons originals.BIG MISTAKE.That fuel sucks.It smells
so bad and it burned up one of my TNX engines,can't figure out
why?The truck never ran good on that garbage fuel.So I went
back to white lightening.
I changed engines and here's my problem.I'm not a newbie.
I have tried all I know but can't figure this one out.I have sealed
every possible air leak area with high temp rtv.I have checked
the tank and all fuel lines for cracks and leaks.The glow plug
is new and the batteries in the igniter are new.These engines run
on a simple concept.Theres no valves or timing to make it con-
fusing,so why can't I figure this out.
My truck will start and idle just fine.Now I hit the throttle wide open
it will scream off very well for about 40 yards.Then it will bog down
and die no matter what,full throttle or no gas it will DIE.Then you
have to pull your arm off to try to start it.Then if it starts it will rev
high then die everytime.Just like when you flip your truck over and
don't retrieve before it dies.I have always got great advice from you
guy's and hope you can help me again.I really need it!

Hey guy's I just pulled my head and found a rock like
particle on top of the piston.No scratches or scuffs in
the sleeve but maybe this rock wasn't letting the engine
breathe on the exhaust stroke.I have my fingers crossed!
Man,I wish Honda built nitro's,because if they did I would
own one.Nothing runs like a Honda.Wish me luck,I sure do
need it![sm=drowning.gif][sm=punching.gif]

They will run longer than anything else.
