Tuning
 

I ran this truck today (used) and it seems like it wants to move right as soon as it starts, and it dies as when you hit the brake. I dont belive the starting part is normal and I cant find the thread about tuning. ANy help is awesome.

I'd say its the clutch, most likely the spring?

RE: Tuning
 

Mozzy is right it definitely sound like the clutch spring to me

NExt 2 questions lol. Does anyone have a picture or could take a picture of how the battery pac and reciever fit in the itty bitty box? I have a himoto and am not entirely sure how it all fits in especially since i now have a fail safe and I think I will need to trim off a piece and put it putside the box. Next question is, I talked with the guy who had the truck before me and he really played with the jetting. What are the factory or normall turns for the carb?

RE: Tuning
 

2 1/2 out on the high needle, flush with the collar on the low needle, and you will have to mount the failsafe on the outside

RE: Tuning
 

I have everything in the receiver box and fits fine (failsafe,receiver,and hump pack)

RE: Tuning
 

you must have it mashed in there, post a picture for him then

RE: Tuning
 

it fits and its not mashed in there heres a pic

RE: Tuning
 

is that the stock reciever?

RE: Tuning
 

no its a futaba

RE: Tuning
 

I must say you did a nice job of cramming that stuff in there. Lots of patience? or just luck?

RE: Tuning
 

lol its easy,lol i have a load of patience

RE: Tuning
 

the futaba reciever is smaller than the stock redcat one, thats why you can fit it in there. With the stock equipment you could never fit a failsafe in there too.

If your glow plug starter is almost dead what type of starting problems may occur? i.e. wont stay running etc... . Im trying to tune it and just noticed that the battery is dead so Im charging it. I had set everything to base settings and im hopping this is the problem.

RE: Tuning
 

2.4 reciever is the ticket for small thats for sure[X(]

RE: Tuning
 

it wont start or be very hard to start. once its running, the starter has nothing to do with it.

RE: Tuning
 

Who's starting it might:D

RE: Tuning
 

Ok, this is where I'm at. It will start then run for 3-5 seconds and when i remove the ignitor (even if it says on there) it dies. Ive turned the high speed out as little as 1 3/4 turns and the low speed needle flush, and it still dies. I have fuel comming out the exhaust as well.

RE: Tuning
 

You may want to try putting a new glow plug in. A hotter one I've heard is better for these small engines.

RE: Tuning
 

yes try a new plug and fuel out the pipe indicates a rich LSN.

RE: Tuning
 

How far in is it ok to go with he LSN?

RE: Tuning
 

just go a bit at a time and run it.

RE: Tuning
 

change with an os a3 plug, these engines like the hot plugs

RE: Tuning
 

Thanks. I got it runnng but it will die at full throttle. If I turn he screw out (richen) it dies, if it turn it in it dies. Maybe Im too impatient? Fuel line too long?
