RE: Why do nitro racers go off and on with the throttle?

I pump the throttle thru the corners to keep engine rev high at same time keep tight line. More engine rev = quicker acceleration out of the corner.

RE: old engine

Hi,

Try the following:

1. Put in a new glow plug. See if problem persists.
2. Try to make the setting richer.
3. Check for air leaks.

Hope you get it working.

RE: motor problem

Maybe your motor brushes have worn out to the point that it is not pressing tightly against the commutator. Try replacing the brushes and see what happens.

Hi,

RE: Mod Motor Questions

Hi ChrisE,

How much maintenance depends on your budget. For club racing, cut the commutator and replace brushes after 3 - 5 runs. For playing, follow the specs of the brush (e.g. 10 - 30 runs)....

TXT cheaper in Japan?

Went to Japan Feb 2003, disappointed that the tamiya kits were not that much cheaper.
