Hey guys. So I got with a neighbor who has been in nitro for a long time and he helped me out with my car. So I finally figured out that I was doing something wrong. When I was measuring the idle gap I was measuring the whole half moon instead of measuring like highest point of the slide which...

Maybe that will be my anniversary/Christmas present since my wife and I's anniversary is 2 days before Christmas 🤷🏻‍♂️😁🤣

No I'm happy with it. I've learned to just live with it. No matter what I do it won't go away so I'll just leave it. If I richen it anymore then it boggs down real hard and has no low end. It's gonna idle high no matter what. I read the plug and it's got a nice brown color without black on it and...

What happens if I tighten down the spur gear nut more? I was thinking maybe it's to loose and that's why it does what it does. There isn't like enough resistance or something 🤷🏻‍♂️

If I richen it anymore then it starts falling flat on its face. It won't have power and it bogs down hard and it takes a second for it to clean Itself out and Rev out at wot

So I've been messing with it the last cpl days. It got running little rich on hsn because it's like 95° temperature wise without the heat index and humidity and it's running at like 205,210 maybe a little hotter. I ran it hard in the yard and the highest I got was 230 I think at the plug. I'm...

I'm getting frustrated 😠 so I got it out today and messed with it some more for like an hour. I got the temp way down to like 180 ish when I point it right at the plug wire to the glow. I ran it in the yard and got it hot and it was still like 200ish. After I shut it off I checked the same spot...

So I just took it out and ran it some more. I kept back the hsn out until it started sounding like crap and then leaned it a bit. I think I went like 2 while turns 😳 so I guess my tune wasn't very good after all lol that would explain why it was getting so hot. Now after I richened it up a good...

Ok I'm copying the link to 4 videos. One video is I took the filter off after warming it up and getting it hot and it looks like the fuel is bubbling. 2nd video is showing what I was talking about where it like twitching or rocking the spur back and forth and running it a bit. Nice blue smoke off...

Oh ok thanks ill look at later when I get off work. Illl try and make a video when i get home this evening if not illl do it tomorrow. I want someone that knows nitro rc to actually see what the hell I'm talking about 🤣

How do I upload a video to here? I tried to attach files but it said something about it not being right or something and wouldn't let me

This may seem like a dumb question and I'm sorry but By backed out do you mean closing the idle gap so making it smaller? Because I was doing that but then I ran into the problem where I guess I had the idle so small that even though it would start right away and run good it would stall after...

Thanks for the advice. I'll have to look that up later and see how much it cost. As for a video I'll have to wait till Sunday evening or Monday when I get home from work. I am very new to this so this is all a learning process for me. I had a tmaxx as a kid but when I say I did nothing to it I...

I'll have to add a video when I get home Sunday or Monday. I work out of town on the weekends so I'm unable to play with my car 😞

I just bought the factory traxxas ones 🤷🏻‍♂️ I showed them the picture from traxxas website and that's what I got. It's plastic ones like in the picture. But no, now I don't have to hold the break to keep it still. The only time it does start to idle up and will actually move without me hitting...

I guess I'm a little confused 😕 while it'd idling my car sits kinda still now on idle without moving forward. Before it would start actually moving without me pulling the throttle. I adjusted the throttle because out of the box the servo was pulling on it so I got a double idle. One idle at idle...

So I took it out yesterday and ran like 3 tanks through no problem and it ran great! You said as long as the wheels arnt actually moving then the spur gear rocking back and forward is ok correct? So it would sit still it would rock and the wheels would move back and forth to but barely but it...

Believe I've gone through a good amount of tanks trying to get it figured out. Especially with the issue of it trying to move. I kept tuning it trying get rid of it. But I still had fun doing it and that's all that matters

Ok thanks 😊 I watch so many YouTube videos on tuning and everything else and I see all these ppl where their cars just sit and don't move back and forward but they are usually not traxxas cars. I am really new to this and I wanted to do everything on my own as I enjoy it. That's why I got nitro...

Hello. I bought a brand new nitro rustler with the 2.5 engine about 2 month's back. I've been having this same annoying issue since day one. On idle it keeps either moving or I can watch the spur gear like chattering and the wheels like rocking back and forth. I have the tune set pretty good at...
