it runs at 210
from what i hear you can run it at 270?
if i make it run @ 270 will i get more power from my 3.3?

how should i do it if so? alsi when i pinch the fuel line to shut it off, it dies after like a sec w/o speeding up first, how do i fix that?

To fix the shut off time of the engine try to richen then lean. Go back and forth until the engine shuts off in 2 seconds.

i thought the shut off time had to do with the LSN?

it does. The time for shut-off should be in 2, 3, or 4 seconds. 3 is optimum. try richening it to get to 3 seconds and see if it speeds up.
If you have anymore questions feel free to ask me.

You can run the engine at 270, most engines anyway. If your a beginner, try to get it around 230, or 250 degrees, for starters, to be on the safe side. Why does an engine have to have a timelimit, before it shuts down? I don't have a Rustler, but a RC10GT, I shut the engine down with the throttle trim on the radio, works fine. To burn the excess fuel in the engine, I keep the carberator closed, apply the glow starter, put it on the starterbox and burn the remaining fuel out the engine.

Am I missing something?

its not that it has a time limit but it just means that the lsn is tuned right. the time doesnt hurt the engine

richening is counter clockwise?

ya. make a 1/8th turn counter clockwise and then do a couple high speed runs and shut it off. if it still doesnt speed up or take 3 seconds do the same thing again. it shouldnt take to long. also pinch the fuel line about in the middle.

thanks for the help man i will try this tommro if it isnt raining




also does hitting a curb full speed with a 4-tec 3.3 count?? lol

im sure it does count

the traxxas motors have peak power at about 275 degrees... but yes, for a begginer that would be optimal temp

they are talking about the time it idles because if it idles forever you are to leen
