Hi all
I am a noob at nitros and thought it would be a good idea to start with a savage so that I did not have to outlay lots of cash on a smaller car, since buying this car (X4.6) I have had many problems, mostly due to me not having a clue what I'm doing I think. I have repaired the car many times, 2 spur gears due to the gear change stop grub screw coming loose and jamming the gearbox amounst others. I feel that I am pretty ofay with ripping it apart to repair it now but aint so good at the rest. I have had huge issues getting it started since I bought it around 6-8 months ago but believe I managed a good tune eventually once I could get it running. Then I read that I should really be running 25% Nitro with OS 8 glow plug for the big block engine so I switched the 2 over. Now I can start the her really easy however it don't seem to be tuning very well.
So my issue during tuning I cant really find anything like it anywhere despite spending hours on forums and watching various videos on tuning which maybe because I have not finished tuning. So background is I reset all the needles to factory settings (flush) this really was because after I changed fuel the car ran off around my garden with the controller at idle(had I realised this was due to the LSN at the time I would have tweaked it but live and learn I guess). I have started adjusting the HSN only. From a standstill the car will take off and will accelerate to top speed with no issues at all, if I come off the throttle for a little while (maybe 6-7 seconds +) and then back on it will accelerate fine however if I take it to full speed then come off the throttle for about 1 second and accelerate at full power again it is stuttering and threatening to stall for a few seconds before then accelerating again, it seems like the engine is flooding during this initial period, is this because I have not tuned the LSN yet or because the HSN is to lean? I have tried tweaking the HSN back 1/8 a turn and the stuttering stops but it seems to go real slow at top speed. Prior to changing fuel I was getting her doing wheelies and taking off like a rocket but now it is no where near quick enough to do that although I have not adjusted the LSN yet because of this issue.
Any help from you guys would be grately appreciated as I do not really know what to do other than ignore the fact it is struggling initially after taking off the throttle and keep tweaking the HSN as far as possible.
Thanks
