need toknow how to tune...
 

hey well i got my revo running again (been sitting for about 2 weeks) and for some reason it got out of tune.

starts up ok but spits out gas likea mofo!! VERY VERY slow. slow start.

what do i needa do guys?

thanks!

very new to tuning so i might need some visuals to know what everything is (hsn, lsn, and so on)

sounds like your low speed needle needs leaning out some.

I would start with the HSN. Always start with the HSN, then LSN.

Above advice all sounds right... but what do I know? :)

After it's had time to warm up... get it up to speed, even if it's a dog getting there. You need to see what the top end is like... does it jsut keep stumbling and spitting lots of smoke... or does it seem to lean out ok after a few seconds wot?

Then lean out the bottom if it's still spitting fuel and bogging.

Nitros are sooo much fun sometimes.. :D

i got it running!messed with it and its good now!

thanks guys!!

What a PITA, nitro SUCKS! LOL!

Selling the nitrostuff is what gives me the biggest amount of fun..

Exactly!

I dunno, buggys top out at about what, 35mph? The straight shouldn't be a problem since Ashley (my BPP LSP; yes, I named my truck, after all, its my baby) should theoretically do about 53mph. Hell, it was doing 30mph on half the voltage (3S). Oh, by the way, I should be able to run about 40 minutes without a recharge. :D

were geared to do about 40ish (13t cb)because thats all we can get in the 115' straight. they could go faster easily, but we choose to gear em down for the track. its all about hooking up, but still getting on the pipe.. our track is slick so were spinning most of the time! my revo was geared to do 55+ with my novarossi 528xr(most powerful nitro motor ever dynoed) but my buggy hammers it in a drag race. my d21t is one bad mill, i have a novarossi plus 21-5 for back up!!:005:
we had a radar gun at the track not too long ago and the truggies were getting up to about 32 the buggies 35mph.

heres some paking lot action with one of my buggies running slicks and a 528xr. the other truck is a 3.3 jato, they claim 65 out of the box and my buggy was hammering it all day! i was geared for onroad in this vid, close to 60mph (18t cb). and still couldnt keep traction!
