I need some help! I've been trying to start my nitro rc and it wouldnt start so ive gone to my manual and done everything on what the default tuning settings are for the car. The car finally started but then it was throwing loads of crap out of the exaust as if it wasnt burning the fuel at all, just going straight through the engine and back out. My car sounded terrible aswell and trying to get my car to idle is a nightmare, I have to keep the revs up to stop it cutting out!

sounds like your piston and sleeve need changed in your engine.

even if it is new there are times which i just had were the piston and sleeve are bad from the start.

tuning the traxxas tmaxx 2.5r is a pain in the ass. it burns thru glowplugs like no tomorrow after countlessly resetting the needles tp factory specs, when temps change. Take today for example I wenr thru 2 plugs in the snow, 40 or higher and it runs like a raped ape till it engages 2nd gear on highspeed passes then burns a plug.

Ya, I don't get it. Even on a new engine seems silly.

even if the tuning is really messed up, it shouldn't have any bad effects on the engine, my motor is impossible to tune and ive been driving it out of tune for almost a year and it still runs. If the tuning is too bad then the motor probably wont even start,(i dont know if this helps any but it is my opinion)

Is this a Thunder Tiger car?

[BigMat478]

what's the purpose of leaving the glow igniter on the glow plug?

hey, i'm scared to death of runing my engine, i know everything i should do, i've watched like an hour of how to videos, asked tons of quations, and read quiate a few articles, but i just dont have the guts to go and tune it :-s what are the chances of ruining the engine while tuning? nothing like competing or doing anything too hard, just going around a packed dirt soccer field triygn to tune it...

i already know its way too rich, i just have to lean it out...

the LSN also controls the low speed, wich is 0% throttle to 50%...
