    Similar to the small springs on your throttle linkage it's on the steering column that your steering servo goes to. It's design to "flex" and absorb large jolts that could strip your servo horn and/or gears.

    Turbo plugs do not use a washer. The plugs won't be a constant issue for you.

    You won't be burning the plugs a lot, it happens when things are new (And it's expensive ). I remember when I used to worry about how long I left my igniter on because I was so worried about the plug. I thought they were very fragile but it turns out they're very tough. At this point I get...

    Just make sure to buy turbo plugs.

    That's cool man it happens. Just don't ignore it. Think about this... At a Nitro Top fuel drag race, after a 3.5 second quarter mile run. The first thing they do is tear down the engine completely and rebuild it. After every run. Watch a NASCAR race and listen to the drivers complain during a...

    Some of my needles are turned out from flush and they're perfect. Some have been turned in a lot and they're perfect. I've had to turn them in to lean it a lot only to have to end up turning them back out to where I started from and then it runs good. I'm thinking to myself, I started at this...

    It's not going to get that good low idle until it wants to. Six tanks isn't enough to have a steady tune in most cases. If it wants to idle high that's fine for now as long as it's not trying to move and it's not stalling out. Keeping the idle slightly high will help keep the engine temp up...

    Small turns then drive it around for a few minutes and bring it back and let it idle for 10-15 seconds. If the idle doesn't drop straight down then try closing the idle until it drops to a low smooth idle. If it stalls when you hit the gas again then start it back up and drive it around some...

    30 percent in the nova. The shim is already in there. I use 30 for break in and then I switch to 25 with a lower oil content. If it's a factory HPI, Traxxas,etc. I'll break in with the 25. Don't worry though because that 20% is great but if your racing you may want to break it in with 30. IMO...

    Yep check the instructions for your TX for "end point adjustment"

    heres a couple photos of one of my buggies linkage and carb gap when it's set at 0 trim. I know it's not answer to your problem but just look at them to see if it gives you any ideas. It sounds like your servo is traveling too far at the end points and that's when it's binding. At full throttle...

    If it doesn't come with one or either of those it will be easy to get them. If you bought that one clutch from the link on Amazon then you have everything you need for the clutch. I read the spec sheet but it leaves those details out. For example it says you need an engine in pipe but doesn't...
