Yea, I'm loving the revo. I run the 2.5r, I've only busted (so far) a shock rod, and a oneway bearing decided to do a self-destruct on me...So I'm getting a new one off the 'bay in a minute...But yeah, it's great.

hey guys I was just running my t-maxx and when I start it up I do a hi speed run and then go to stop and it revs up and then idles then once it is warmed up it doesnt rev up. could it be because it is only 45 degrees out side or what?


thanks, traxxas thrasher

Hey whenever im running my t-maxx in the beginning I have to warm it up or it revs up like I said but then after it is warmed up it pulls wheelies and works great but then after a fourth of a tank it wont take off as fast. so if anyone knows why this is happening, please let me know. :o

sounds too lean if it's pulling wheelies then it slows down.

Richen the HSN about 1/4th turn and try it again

well i had put in wd-40 and plugged in the easy starter to spin the crankshaft and it started up so I turned it off. but the next day I went to drive it and it was acting to lean like it would speed up and then slow down a lot and then build up speed like it was over the safe lean zone. and just 10 seconds of running the engine that engine was hot like I had just ran half a tank. so I richened it 1/4 of a turn and it was perfect but it stilll revs up unless I warm it up and then it wont take off fast again so should I still richen it 1/4 of a turn or not?




also it could be my clutch system but the clutch bell doesnt get stuck. so please help me if you have any idea.




thanks, traxxas thrasher

didn't you replace the clutch shoes/spring like we spoke about on the Leisure forum? hmmm

yep, if it is still acting too lean you need to keep richening it until it's back where it should be.

what I like to do is (this is if it's excessively lean) richen it to the point that it's slow and boggy...Then lean back out gradually from there

LSN is too lean usually when that happens.

FWIW, anyone that knows how to tune can help you, not just 2.5 owners.

Some times you need to turn the needles more than you think. I've turned my LSN's 1-2 full turns at times (not all at once though)...just do small increments

ok thanks well I checked out my clutch spiring and turns out that it wasnt staying all the way down and you could take it off so quickly so I changed it to a stronger spring and it is harder to take off.

Cold really makes it hard to start, especially a pull starter. Use a hairdryer and warm that engine up, or bring it inside for a while.
