Got an axial .32 and was breakin it in today. Got through two tanks idle no prob. The third tank is supposed to b ran at half throttle but wen I accellerate, it goes to about quarter throttle and can't go any higher rpm's. The throttle will open fully but it just bogs and runs crappy. I'm pretty sure its not the ture cuz I dident even really touch it. I started playin witht the hsn, thought I was maybe waay to rich but I couldent get it. The engine willl make heat but just bogs and runs crappy with more than quarter throttle. I'm kinda unhappy with this motor. Iv broken in many engines and never had this prob. It will idle forever though, as long as it has gas, it will idle perfectly! Any help would b appreciated!!!

My axial did the same thing. It came from the factory STUPID RICH. Same thing as you, after 2 tanks, it would not hit full throttle. I had to turn both the lsn and hsn about 3/4 of a turn to lean for it to hit 1/2 throttle.
 
Can i put the carb from my f4.6 on my axial.32? Reason being the f4.6 carb is easier to tune.
 
myn also did this but i was able to fix it by just playing with the HSN
its stupidly rich but thats how they recommend to run em in so i left it till run it was completed and then fiddled with it

myn also said 1/4 throttle
 
i asked the same question in a different thread and the answer i mostly got was yes
i have a .28 (sorry about my earlier post but still dont think it would make a difference) and from what I've driven of it its a great engine
seems to have lots of power and a breeze to tune
 
I'm gona play around with it wen i have more time. I only ran 3 tanks in it so it still has to be broken in. For now I'm running my 4.6,its all tuned up and performing awsome. Just need to set the two speed properly but that little stuff. Yesterday i was bashing at this little skateboard bowl at this park and it was fun. I'm goin back this afternoon, maybe get sum pics and video.
