So recently i sold off my hpi evo 3drifter and bought back a savage I sold over 3 years ago . When I sold it . It still had the stock f4.6 that I'm familiar with as my ss currently has an f4.6 as well . But now to the point here when I bought the truck back it had an axial .28 v1 . Guy said it runs like a top and he tuned it the day before . Now I know tune has a lot of things that can throw it off tune . When I got home I emptied the half tank that was it . Added fresh fuel ( sidewinder 20% nitro 10% oil ) same as he was using took after a few pulls it started idled great but when I pull the throttle the motor seems to hesitate and burps and barely did 10 km/h after trying to adjust the idle . I manage to get more speed out of her but under 200f temps and still quite sluggish gearing is 13cb 52 spur side . I'm not sure if its the gearing that's throwing me off or the tuning . I'm new too this motor and could use some wise words of wisdom . Any tips or help would be apprecatied. Thanks !
