    bubbles in fuel line

    Guy's, what is the most common cause of air bubbles in the fuel line that goes to the carb? (other than the obvious bad connection). I was just running my savage x, and I noticed the rpm's were reving up a bit off and on when trying to stop or Idle. Upon inspection I saw some little bubbles...

    Savage X stalling a lot.

    O'Ya, wanted to say that I put the crash cage on, and had to trim the body a bit on both sides where the crash cage comes into contact with the body shell. I used a small drum sander on my dremel and it cut it out perfectl without making anything look bad. I am so happy I decide to put the...

    Savage X stalling a lot.

    Battery on the DX2 is holding up good. I have run the savage x several times in 3 trips to the track and still has a good amount of charge left, so I'm happy with that! Also, my truck is running strong. I have been bashing and spinning around a bit. Even flipped it twice with no damage. I...

    DX2, what are you using?

    The Dx2 radio comes with the 3 ch rx, so I'm confident that the surface spektrum rx's will work with the DX3 TX. I would ask first, but I really don't believe spektrum would do something stupid like making a reciever that would become obsolite after upgrading to a one channel higher...

    I would have done that too, but when I bought my savage x, the only fuel they had in stock was the top fuel, and I didn't really like it that much. Also, I think the byrons has a little more oil because I saw a bit more smoke from it than I did with top fuel. Unfortunately my LHS is limited in...

    DX2, what are you using?

    That's good, I think I can probably expect similar times for mine. My next project will to get my rx battery upgraded, will post when I get it done, gordo

    DX2, what are you using?

    JT, does that battery pack you have charge up to about 11.5~6 volt's. I ask because I had a pack that came with my Spektrum DX7 that is 9.6, nominal, but charges up to 11.6 volts. I took the pack apart, and put the individual cell's in the DX2 battery pack. I then charged it with the DX7 battery...

    Savage X stalling a lot.

    Yes, I am running the stock F4.1 and the glo-plug that came with it, (I think it is a #5). I have a good smoke trail, but was wondering about the temps, so thank's for the answere. I will be at a gallon soon so looking forward to the final tuning stage, although I realize the tuning is never...

    Savage X stalling a lot.

    Had another good run yesterday evening and had to richen the mix up a bit as the temps were climbing to 270~280 because the night before the weather was much cooler. It is amazing how much longer a tank last's compared to the breakin tanks. What is the max temp most of you all are seeing. I...

    DX2, what are you using?

    Are hobby grade rechargable battery's the 1.2v ni mh battery's, or are they a different voltage and ni cad batt's. Reason I ask is I have a spektrum ni cad charger that puts out 11.6v. This might be the voltage that those rechargable battery's charge to. The charger came from my dx7, which I do...

    DX2, what are you using?

    Yea, guy's, I love the Spektrum revolution and am currently waiting for the modules for my T12ZH futaba helicopter tx.. The servo's are generally rated for 4.8v and 6.0 volt. I haven't seen any servo with a rating higher, although they may exist. I may be soldering 2 leads from my tx battery...

    Newbie Break in

    I used a heat gun to monitor my temps. I think that is one of the most important parts of the breakin if you followed the rest of the breakin proceedures. The book says to not get over 250*, but the first few tanks I kept it well under that. If it's running good, I would think everything is...

    DX2, what are you using?

    Does the DX3 transmitter come with a rechargable battery pack? The DX2 came with a pack for installing your own AA battery's. My LHS said they didn't have a battery pack for the DX2, so been thinking about making my own as described above. On my DX7 heli radio, I have the 3 cell lithium pack...

    DX2, what are you using?

    What radio are you all using? I bought a DX2 today, and I love it. I am currently using 8 NI MH battery's, and the battery level indicator after I was done was at 10.8V. I know it is a 12 volt sustem, but it will run fine down to 9 volts, as per the manual. I am thinking about using a lithium...

    Savage X stalling a lot.

    OK, Guy's, I think I have a monster truck...>grin<...hehe! I went to the field this afternoon, and tried out my new DX2, and used some of the advice you all gave me. My truck never stalled (except towards the end), after adjusting things as I was told, and was able to use my brakes. Good thing...

    Savage X stalling a lot.

    Should I not worry about having a bit over 1mm open at neutral trim, because If I use the radio trim to close it to 1 mm from 2, (as it looks like I cant manually adjust the carb Idle to less than 2mm), I can then push on the slide and it moves. I guess what I am asking is, can the slide be...

    Savage X stalling a lot.

    OK, I think we are to something here. I did remove the filter and with the throttle trim centered, I could push the slide in. I adjusted the Idle screw to the point where it was neutral and I could not push it in. Now, with my throttle trim centered, this left me with a bit more than 1mm...

    Savage X stalling a lot.

    I'll try some different fuel and try the idle screw a bit more too. My LHS has top fuel and Byrons racing fuel, (I think that was the name of it), Is the Byrons any good? The only gallons they have are 25% nitro, is that a good mix, or do I need to look elseware? Thanks for the reply's so far...

    Savage X stalling a lot.

    One other thin, I have seen a couple of air bubbles in my fuel line. I have only seen this a couple times, and at the time, the tank was almost full, but I know you can't have air in the line so wonder what could be causing this? Could the quick Run just before this *beat*, a bubble in the line...
