Righto... well I screwed up good today i reckon.... sigh. I've been having issues with idle / richness settings. So in my efforts to sort it out i've managed to strip the ****in rich/lean threads... any ideas? ) i was actually trying to reset to factory defaults I doubt i can replace the carb at the local hobby shop so I'm wondering what my options are other than ordering in a new carb? If i have to order a new carb I will which is no big deal really other than i wanna break a shock instead Yes i suck bad doing this but alas... such is learning. I'm like the guinea pig of a lot of my friends.... they've seen this lil machine and love it. Ne way... if i have to purchase a new motor wutever i will... if i can figure a way around it even better. I dunno if they make helicoils this small... all i know is they work.

Tell ya what tho... i was gonna buy the 1/5th HPI baja... pretty happy i didn't now... these things are ****in fast!

thanks again fellas

you have to be easy when you tighten the hsnand lsn dont forget it only has to stop and toutch not get tight when it stops you are there ,then back out to the settings you want .

whatever works to get a new engine.. haha... i am trying to break my 2.5r on my tmaxx, so that i can trade it in for the 3.3 or spend a little more and get the Picco .26 Max Red Dot... haha... i have a hunger for power i guess you could say...

i am also like you in a way, i am the only one of my friends that owns a nitro, and everyone comes over just to watch me run it.. its hours of entertainment sometimes, and im trying to encourage some of my buddies to get one, so that i can have people to run with!! as i dont know anyone that owns nitro in my area!!

yay fixed! One notch on the belt for small engine repair. The guy at this other hobby shop is HEAPS more helpful than the place i bought the truck at. He's given me all the stuff i need to replace the alkaline bats for the servo / receivers too. It was alot cheaper than I imagined. 13 bux. And shes running great. I noticed too that the low end adjustment was not flush so i think that's where my problem was. WOOT!

You guys and your red dots dammit.... your making me wanna buy one ffs!
