So this i guess is a play on word based on my last thread( t-maxx is dead lol). Any ways motor came new linkage set etc etc. I pulled my hump pack from my sc10gt damn thing is a tight fit in the battery box. Well i had to tear everything down a few times i did not like how things lined up. No big deal, i ran just a TAD fuel to see if it fires and if the mesh is good. All was good just had to set the idle. I go set the piston to BDC and it would not move. Another tear down blah blah lol and then go back at it. I get it all done looks/feels good etc. I fire it up again once again just enough fuel to get it to turn over and check the mesh. It fired up and sounded good and i did drive it like 3 feet one way then 3 feet another way just to make sure the gear mesh was right. Every thing is looking good ,i have the old carb. That might have to go,see i have the high end 4 turns out from close , i have the low end flush i do have a question about that in a min. I have the idle right at 1mm and linkage/brake is set good. So i will be getting a temp gun so as you can tell things are looking up . Now on to my question for the low speed needle its 1 and a half turns from closed? I KNOW traxxas calls for Flush but i just wonder what is the turn amount? I umm did feel the motor after that little fuel run before keep in mind its around 29-31 deg and a tad snow falling i was not out in the snow i was on my deck . The motor felt a tad to hot for such a small amount of fuel and little to no driving i did go back and forth like i said before . I am thinking there is a leak from the carb, i am getting a temp gun to be safe. Now back at factory specs if lets say i am seeing temps around 200-250 deg with a rich setting on my first REAL brake in tank i know the carb has to go. That is why i am asking about the low end just to make sure its not to lean. If you need more info i have a new tank/tube and i have a new plug and i have new 20 percent fuel and things are charged and workign as it should . No drive train bind , pretty much everything is good oh yea i got a new OWB.
