Tuning comment
Hi, I hate tuning, thats all I have to say. I mean I know how to do it, (on almost all the engine that fit in RC cars
(since I help tune them at the hobby shop)) But Its such a pain! I mean today I wanted to go outside to drive
my car (which havent been driven in 2 weeks because of a part shortage. And well, It needed to be tuned and I
only had enough to do 2 tanks, 1 for tuning and 1 for bashing. While the engine didnt like me that day. it was a
pain to start since it was cold, i was running to lean so i made it rich about 1/6 of a turn. but then it was so rich i
was getting SO MUCH SMOKE IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS ON FIRE! and the engine was stuttering because all the
fuel in the engine. so I got it just right do I got sharp acceleration and good top speed, and from that point i
richened it a little bit. Then I ran out of fuel in my first tank so I refilled. THINKING i had the gas cap on the
tank in the car on tight! but well, of course, it wasnt, I flipped over within 1 minute of noticing fuel fas flying out
of my car. lol. and well, as I said I flipped over right after I noticed fuel was fling everywere, buy that time all of the fuel dumped off in the grass.[:@] Well, not only did I get jipped off of fun with my car, Im gonna have
dead grass. lol
SO all I wanted to say is Tuning sux! and I hope someday they will have any engine that tunes itself![>:]
