Default Few minor problems

K Im still new to rc and need some help. Today I was driving with the top off and I dont know how it happened but, it did the blue wire to the glow plug from the Ez start got cut in the middle what do i do about that. Also when I am driving the car tends to kinda bog down little when I give it gas I have the high speed needle a little higher than factory settings about 1/4 turn.
Thanks

I dont know what the ezi start set up looks like as iv never seen one before, but the way to fix a cut wire is the following.

Pull apart the ezi start assembly. Strip the insulation from the ends of the cut wire, solder it together, then put electrical tape around it. Or, you could get another wire of a similar gauge, get rid of the old one, and solder on the new one. Work out how it got cut or you'l lose this one too. Could it have gotten caught up in the gears or something ? Maybe you can get yourself some zip ties.

The engine sounds like its bogging because its running rich. Start turning the hsn in, clockwise.

I think it may have caught on to something? I keep leaning out the needle and getting the same results might just have to keep going the car is a jato 3.3 by the way.

Ok well I dont know about the trx 3.3 so wait until someone that does advises you, but you dont want to go too lean. Mine, max I'll lean it 2 1/4 turns open from closed.

If thats what you mean by lean, then yes dont touch it anymore the problem is somewere else. You could also try raising the idle speed that may help. And check your lsn.

Other problem could be your glow plug, you may need something hotter or colder. Tell what fuel your using and what plug.
