Anyone know of alternate carbs that work well in an LRP 28 S3? I'm really fighting with one of my LRP's and am getting really frustrated with it.
I know there are no air leaks (fully torn down and sealed back up) and it seems relatively responsive to tune, but it seems that I have to run it at least 1.5-2 turns rich beyond factory to get it to run anywhere near right. Even then I get the indicative high idle after a high speed pass and the occasional lean bog if I gun the throttle. The power is lacking, except for the occasional half second that it sounds like it's running right and temps are average above 250F. Have tried multiple pipes, changed plugs, sealed everything, new ceramic bearings, fresh fuel, different fuel tank and new lines...
The one in my aftershock runs like a top, but I'd really like to run my savage. I tried the Losi HT pipe on it and still no good, which I'm running on my aftershock.
Did I just get a full on defective LRP?!?!? Very reminiscent of the axial paper weight I bought many years ago...
My post about changing out the bearings trying to eliminate my issues:

No luck there...
