    Needle tuning, need somebody advice.

    I richened the LSN 1/8 turn and drove a half tank and checked, this was after letting it idle and warm up. I was around 255 when I checked. I did notice s little bit of fuel in the fuel line going from the exhaust pipe to the tank, also, a little bit of foam, just a coating not thick on top of...

    Ok to counter clockwise make sure it shift sooner? Yes? Can you mess anything up if you go to far lol?

    Ohhhh hahayes I thought you were talking about the carb, my fault lol. I guess a slightly lowersgift point could help tie things together. I’ll give it a try

    It’s supposed to be the best drop in upgrade according to what people say. It definitely stopped that stupid traxxas carb burp they all do when you first hit the gas, it’s mostly a low to mid speed upgrade. It feels smoother and more responsive than with the factory carb it’s just being hard to...

    Actually, no lol. I’ve been driving multiple T-MAXX for years and have never once touched a shift point. It’s always fine out of the box. I always assumed the adjustment was to make it shift differently for a desired reason, not as part of tuning. I guess the best way to summarize it is most of...

    I will get a video later and then upload it, yesterday I did some runs in our parking lot and got it running a little bit better. The temperatures are around 260° or so which is far better than the 313 I was running. I kept it running for three full tanks and it didn’t get very hot compared to...

    OK tell me how it sounds, still doesn’t sound right to me but it idles fine and never stalls, even if it sits there’s for a few mins. It does grab second sometimes, it does do a wheelie, sometimes, but I’m also in slippery dusty dirt. Temps started out good, about 250, but still go high like 275...

    The entire passenger side of my windshield is cut out, the driver side is full of holes drilled and I drilled out the grill in the lower portion of the body so it has pretty good flow

    If I richenit any more, the temps def go down, but performance falls off to the point where it’s been held floored and won’t go over 24000rpm or so and won’t shift. That is why the last bit of the tank leaving out causes better performance. But these things steve so good at being out of tune and...

    That’s a good thought, I never messed with the shifting because it works great on the road. I should mention I’m driving on slipper hard packed dirt conditions, mostly flat. It seems it I made it shift earlier it would be shifting and bogging it down but might help me.

    T maxx 3.3. I just got in from running, I cut the windshield out and drilled some holes in the grill. I got the low speed set good it idles pretty nice. I found out this Losi carb responds a lot to super small adjustments, like a 32nd if a turn. I dialed it in low speed and high speed, it’s...

    Unfortunately no but I will get one. The sensor isn’t accurate with pretty much matching ambient temps and all but I’m gonna go over the motorband make sure everything’s tight, thinking of it i pulled my exhaust off and pushed it back on, there are zip ties on the coupler but it still slides on...

    I am running traxxas 20% nitro, which is known to have a higher oil content. Traxxas medium plug I do see smoke coming out and that lovely burnt nitro smell I’m running on hard dusty dirt, a little track with some jumps. You know the kind where you floor it hit the jump land then turn around...

    Hey everyone what’s up! Been out driving alllll day had a blast. Anyways, I’m having a little bit of trouble with tuning. I have a Traxxas T-MAXX 3.3 with a LOSI 3.4 carburetor on it. The new carburetor makes the truck run unbelievably good so much better and it’s a direct drop in I’m glad I did...
