evader st..outta control, kinda
it seems like it takes me less of an effort to get it to go faster u know what i mean?...its like i used to have to pull the trigger half way to make it go noticalbly fast, but now it goes really fast really quick with just the slightest tap on the trigger....and sometimes i have to hit the brakes for it to slow down whereas i used to beable to let the throttle go and it would almost stop completely. i did mess around with the throttle servo and did stuff like take off the servo horn....turn everything on....and reset the horn so that it wouldnt apply as much throttle...but it is still bugging me. wut could be the problem?....do i need new batteries?

RE: evader st..outta control, kinda
Has anyone ran the LRP.28 yet? I was wondering how it ripps compared to like a mach 26, or wasp 26. How is the tuning also? Does it hold a good tune or is it like the wasp 26 where u have to keep the idle a little high so it doesnt quit on ya if u give it half throttle and let off. Im running the wasp 26 in my hotbodies truggy right now but want a little more for the track(novarossi 28 is getting me in the straights).
Thanx for the info in advance

check that your clutch spring isn't worn out (when the car doesn't slow down when you let go of the throttle it is a sign the clutch is still engaged). and with the engine not running check the throttle & carb are set properly. you may also be running lean, or have a split fuel line letting air in & leaning out the mixture.

No, The clutch spring is the spring in your clutchbel that holds your clucth shoes together. The gear that your talking about meshes with the clutch bell gear. Take the bell off, remove the little e clip, and a the bearings, be careful with the bearings they are flanged and may catch. I wrecked my bearings while removing them, only cause I was in a hurry.

Just so you know, it is good that the truck isn't stopping when you let go of the throttle now. For racing, you want it adjusted so it will freely coast with no throttle, and only slow down when you hit the brakes. You can adjust your brake by using an allen wrench on the throttle linkage where it connects to the brake linkage.. move it back for less brake and forward for more.
Also like someone else mentioned, you could very well be lean.
