were you able to idle a full tank of gas?

 

now when i idle gas is spitting out of the exhaust and now the REV isint high but the cars wheels are turning

 

*Off Topic* Any of you w/ electronic motors/controllers that want to learn how to throw a 360 at almost full speed let me know via pm. We can meet up and it'll take about 15mins to teach ya the trick on how to throw the throttle and steering the right way.

 

I'm pretty sure that means your idle is too high and it's running rich. Lean it out a little at a time.

 

Running way to rich.

Edit:

Maybe look at this too.

 

Interesting! What kind of car do you run?

 

Wait.. isn't your servo is "reversed" and needs to be changed back to by the remote if this is "full" throttle?

Because it looks like its closed

 

Had a few of them and sold 'em all of this year.

Losi JRXT, R/C 10, a couple of RTR's (Traxxas Slash). Past stuff was a classic Tamiya Frog w/ Posi from the Brat Car, ClodHopper, a franken-drag-car. Sold them all off to put $ towards this house and the new car. As long as it was 2wd I could throw 360's/etc no problem, used to be sponsored BITD.

 

dang nice cars list. Ah If it were the 4wd ones, Id ask. lol

 

I can play with those too, if i want. I'm less than 2 miles from NorCalHobbies.

 

ooo. ill send you a pm if I go to norcal another time

 

wheels shouldnt be turning while at idle.

one reason is that the clutch bell shoe spring is broken. i had this happen to one car. i kept lowering and lowering idle but no matter what i did, it kept spinning. so the clutch shoes were engaging the clutch at the slowest speed.

i finally got the chance to tear it apart and sure enough, the spring broke. so nothing was holding clutch while at idle.



what happens is that at slow idle, the springs prevent the shoes from "expanding" from the centrifugal forces. but when the spring broke, the shoes would engage.

you can change when the shoes engage but changing the strength of the spring. i used to use o-rings instead of an actual spring. it worked...

 

anyone wanna bash this sunday?

no more football...

say around 3pm at this location:

Google Maps

see that parking lot? that gray'ish dirt lot...

anyone?

 

Possibly... My truck is currently in pieces. I ordered a new motor last week and it should be here either tomorrow or Saturday...

I then need to break it in, which saturday should be fine...

If so Ill be down! (Maybe like 50% chance)

Definitely down for next weekend for sure!

 

Wish I could but it's too far for me. Enjoy!
