Default T-Maxx problems...Again!

SO now that I've got the tranny fixed the motor is acting up. It gets super hot really quick even though it's rich,I'm getting super fluctuating idle and now the RPM's are loading up. Should i call Traxxas? or what?Please help
Thanks,
Dakota

Sounds like you probably have an air leak into the fuel system some where [:@]

Your call... but personally, I would seal the engine.... mailing my truck off and waiting for it to come back doesn't sound appetizing to me....

Even though you have choose to use a sealer you must remember that there should be no reason to do so. You have some thing leaking [:@] you must find out what it is. No matter what you do even seal all the engine parts there is still a air leak till you find it! As you know air leaks can cause a burn out and engine destruction. Choose carefully your temps and driveability before you take it easy. Good Luck and HAPPY RC' en

Make sure your header bolts are tight on the back of the motor.
