what settings would you recomend for the traxxas trx 3.3 engine.
@camtv98 I no longer have the kit and my notes went with it. Sorry, I dont have it anymore.
Hey Squirrellod what were ur settings for the exceed rc madstorm? i was just wonderin
how come my truck shuts off when i hit the throttle? yesterday we tuned it cuz it did it before now it seems as if every time i drive it ill have to do the same fixing
Hi,Please HELP….A guy that went into the Army sold me his TRX15 Traxxas 4Wheel Truck and i dont know anything about it .I did get it started but after about 10 minutes it stalled and i tried to adjust the idle srcew but i dont know the factory setting ?? also mine has a black cover on the idle srcew that turns with it. I just cannot get it to start again..Any help will be GREATLY Appreciated,Sincerely Eyan of South Carolina
when ever i turn on my nitro rc it starts moving very fast without me pressing the throtle. I guessing it has something to do with idle speed, but not sure how to fix it. :S
dude you have so much engines, rc parts and soo much different rtr kits. how on earth do you afford this stuff?? id love to be able to afford different engines
@159Duramax every engine has different factory tune settings mate. you just follow the vid to show you how to find out your factory tune settings for your personal engine
i dont get whether you HAVE TO cange the factory setting if you buy a new car???
the tapered needle inside of the carb for some reason is really far back that having the throttle open not even half way it is the same a full throttle if you see what i mean could it be broken?
why dont you ever use the lrp
right at the begining of the video at 0:22 when the engine is on screen that silver circle by the hsn there is a flat head screw on their what is that?
Hey how could I make my truck to have more torque at start not high speed should I close them both?
yo squirl a couple of questions i wanted to konow is should i tune the hsn or the lns first and if my manual says i can run 20 to 30% nitro in my engin do i still need shims???
when they say adjust needle to a certain degree…that losses me
i just got my revo yesterday from this guy and i took it to a ice rink it has hills of gravel now theres a loud sqeek in my trans it mad me mad if u have any ideas or suggestions on it that would be cool
Also are you doing full turns or half turns..ie if the manual says 2.5 turns out are they 5 of the ones you just did ???
haha..fucken love the JD bottle in the background !!! Essentail on a tinkering bench !!!
how do i know what was my stock setting?
@TheTraxxasdriver Yeah it’s an great engine, I have it in my LST2 (see my vids) and you’ll see it fully tuned and in action!
