Then made a Team Orange (drift team in Japan) Evo6 replica of there drift Evo8. Also made a Sil80 putting together a S13 body with a 180sx body. Also has custom offset wheels and carbon fiber hood and trunk. Then I made a RS-R IS200 Altezza. All the red, gold, and black is custom painted. This also had custom offset wheels, carbon fiber hood, trunk, and roof.

Nice cars!

Tuning a nitro engine can be tricky... have you set it to the factory settings and tried from there? Crank bearings like to develop leaks making it hard to start, if at all. Try the soap bubble test around the bearings if you haven't already.

yea i have returned it back to factory setting, it will start but it stalls right after, and when it does stay running its rpms are thru the roof. tried adjusting the idle and nothing. it has acted odd since the day i opened the box i think i got a defective carb. i called the company they said theres nothing they could do, and what is the sopa bubble trick?

Sounds like an air leak. I have seen them come right from the manufacturer with it. The bearings leak and the air rushing in makes the motor scream. You put soapy water around the crank and look for air bubbles. You can ruin an engine quick like that since it leans it out so bad. You nitro engine needs nitro fuel to keep it cool, if it's lean it will run hot and damage the engine. Always better rich than lean. I like to see a bit of smoke when I'm running it. I also would not recommend Traxxas fuel... it sucks! I use O'Donnels 25% racing fuel.
