ok cool now i have your attention im after a little lesson in nitro cars. me and a few of my friends have nitro stadium trucks. the models differ but mines a hpi rush evo. we all have the same basic problem. it will start up and idle pretty fine but as soon as you try to go it stalls. is it too much air? too much fuel? too little of either of them? how od i adjust it etc etc? high speed needle up or down?

lots of questions

just want to sort it rally but also know why it does it and why adjusting sed needle makes it work


cheers guys

Running it too rich, Lean it.

RTFM, it is explained in the second part of the engine section of the manual.

if that doesnt work try a different glow plug.

when your truck idles it cant burn all the fuel so it dies give it little blurps of throttle and it will go when u punch it

RTFM, indeed.

lol what need to catch up on aberrations what that mean ?

The reason it can't burn up all the fuel is because there is too much fuel. The low speed needle is too rich, lean it about 1/8 a turn at a time until it will idle consistantly and then take off quickly. I can let my SH .12 idle for a couple minutes, hit the gas, and it will still take off quickly.

ok i never knew that thanks i will do that!!! maby retune my motor IF I GET MY TOWER SHIPMENT TOMORO DANG CLUTCH SPRING GRRRRRRR[:@][:@][sm=punching.gif]

what if he bought the car on ebay and never got a manual. i never had a manual, so should i have RTFM?

on a slightly different matter, but related, when i go onto other forums like rctech.net, it blows me away cos im so used to this forum. the ppl there talk purely about rc cars, and dont post smart ar$€ replies which are attempting to bash the person who asked a simple question.

What they are just trying to get across is that threads about needle settings are quite annoying because 1st off, why mess with the factory settings when you dont know what your doing to begin with? and second, they can't see the truck or tune the idle for him. Asking how to tune your car in r/c message board is a total shot in the dark.

whats RTFM i cant decoad that i can sometimes but this im stumped?

Read-The-F*cking-Manual

ahh ROFL thats good 1 more
imo???

In-My-Opinion.

ok
lol thanks for catching me up lol

Most manuals can be found online.

cool. i didnt get a manual with it. was my cousins. so how do i lean it off. i know i adjust the high speed and low speed needle. but which way. counterclockwise or clockwise to lean it off. how bout that tiny little screw on the carb. should that be all way tight or loose?

the little screw is the idle screw. u adjust it so it does not allow the carb to fully closewhen the brakes are applied. you want about a 1 mm gap when the brakes are applied to allow it to idle.

you might want to go on this link to get the manual
