improper idle settings or brake settings?
 

My rc10gt w/os12cv runs great. Top end good, low end good, not to hot, just right. The problem is, the car wants to walk off when at idle. If i close the gap anymore it wont idle and dies on braking. In the instructions it says to have slight pressure on the brake at idle, but how slight is slight? There is slight resistance at idle, and it releases upon throttle. I just ordered the Crescenzi brake system which hasn't come yet, and this may solve my problem. Does this sound more like idle speed or brake settings? The car soesn't run off idle but it does creep forward. All help is appreicated.

If you have the stock clutch which lacks a clutch shoe return spring then this is normal. Also make sure that the clutch bell bearings are in good shape and spin freely. The 4 in 1 clutch from MIP has a return spring and works much better at idle and is what most GT owners use. Hope this helps.

Thanks, that was the problem. The shoes are melted. I will be picking up the 4 n 1 today.

both bearings in clutch were also fried.

along with the 4n1 clutch & new bearings i would get two sets of bearings if you can, and if you clutch bearings were fried theres a good chance the clutch nut may now be out of round if the bearings seam a little tight going on or comming off the the clutch nut get a new one or you just blow your bearings again after a few runs.

good luck
