tuning

Hello! i’m having troubles keeping the temp down on my nitro engine. I know the basics of tuning and what to look for when it’s running too rich or lean. originally, the engine was running too lean with temps getting up too 200-260 degrees after only a couple minutes of idling, so tuned it to...

I tightened my high speed to much will that have damaged the needle? I have a hobao hyper 7 .21

I just ran my savage XL 5.9 today and well I’m not really liking the performance granted it’s 45°C here in the Middle East and quite humid. I did all I can tuning the LSN, HSN and idle but it just wasn’t giving me the changes I wanted. So the car either idles very loud or the rpm decreases until...

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this post. A few months back I purchased a HoBao RTR Cage Nitro car and had a few problems getting it started when it first arrived so naturally, I took it to my local RC shop and asked them for help and they turn the tuning needles and managed to...
