Hey guys I was just curious if theres like a guide or manual to tuning engines or if it's just one of those things you have to learn with experience. I was just out today trying to run my rustler and was having some problems. I have the pro .15 engine in it and when I would gun it either from a stopped position or once I was moving it would bog out and want to die, I messed with the fuel mixture screw and the low end screw but never got it to completely go away. It was kind of chilly outside too. Thanks guys

well if its cold outside you want to run rich .... hows your glow plug ??? and also how cold is cold??? i noticed today with mine the glow plugs i had were garbage they would last for like a tank ... then i put in the stock traxxas plug and it ran good over a quart of fuel before i called it a day .... it was 40 degrees outside today so good time to bash

Ok thanks for the tip, anyone else have any advice for someone new to motor tuning?

Like most problem solving, it's faster and easier to read the instructions than to wait for answers. If you bought it new you have all the info you need. Not trying to be mean, it's just that so many of these threads are all the same about engine tuning. To many people buy a truck and get home and run the the poor thing to death without opening the instructions and wonder why their shiny new engine is toast, then read about breakin procedures and what not to do, then come on line asking for help. Not saying that is the case here, maybe you don't have instruction manual. Look through posts here about engine tuning and you will find 10 different opinions on what to do, most hogwash. Always tune from rich to lean on high speed needle after the engine is at operating temp. Then the low speed needle. If your engine isn't fully broken in according to directions, then don't even worry about tuning yet.
