Default noob really needs help with engine

hey guys/girls

i got a new t-maxx yesterday broke it in fine and it was lightning quick..
tried to tune it a little bit to help with the fact i was burning fuel really quick..

after watching football (soccer) i took it back out and now it has a funny echo noise near the exhaust and a jingleing/clicking sound towards the back of it just below the engine, also it seems to have lost power and when accelerating it jerk till the throttle is almost fully pressed?


any help would be appriciated

thanks

anthony

probably your gear mesh is messed up and you will destroy a spur gear that way. if this is the case you will notice your spur gear is chewed up or damaged in some way because you went full throttle on it. i would check it out and post back if you can add more detail to your question.

You shouldn't tune for fuel economy. The amount of fuel it consumes is something that you can't help. Tune for performance and temperature, not fuel consumption. If you are experiencing a loss of engine performance, than you should reset the needles to factory settings and start over, and completely forget about fuel economy.

thanks guys..

when i was tuning for fuel what i meant to say was that i had fuel spitting out the exhaust, thats why i was running out so quick.

the clicking noise seems to becoming from the brake disk it it wobbles like hell really freely.
im thinking of getting a new one but am stuck on which to get., aluminium or carbon fibre.

i noticed my spur gear i rather let say buckled/twisted so when i rotates it looks like it wobbleing really bad but its quite rigid.

but thanks for the info your help was relly appriciated.
