i have a nitro rustler and have been running it the same as my last one and the old ones got at least 4 gallons on the engine. i'm on the second gallon with this one. it accelerates really slow and sometimes just stays in one spot when i'm in grass. if i richen it nothing happens and if i lean it it gets better but overheats. what else should i try? Thanks.

maybe your low speed needle is out of wack put it back to factory setting and then go from there

everythings been left at factory settings.

theres your problem, tune it.

i have the idle screw and low speed needle at factory but i've been tuning the high speed needle. how many turns should i try with the low speed?

man i screwed up on this paintjob really bad. i thought it was a close color but once i brought it into the sunlight it was pretty bad. i used sea blue testers paint. i wanted it to look like the color on the bottom of the chassis but its too dark so i guess i'll buy some metallic blue spraypaint at wal-mart.

I'd like to know what his definition of "overheats" is.

I've known people that think 200 is OH MY GOD I GOTTA SHUT IT OFF IT'S TOO HOT!!!, while i'm cruisin with my old FreeMaxx, and they temp IT, and see 340 on their temp gun and crap themselves

about 50* higher than what its supposed to

ok, what's it SUPPOSED to run, as far as you know?

I'm not trying to insult you, i just don't know exactly what you mean.

i try to keep it about 270
