breaking in revo 3.3

[jknight118]

I am new to rc notro cars and i purchased a 3.3. I looked at the video and read the manual. I followed everything to a "T". The truck would not start. I replace the glow plug the truck still wouldn't start. I reid for about an hour to start it taking 5 and 10 minute breaks every so often. I turned the idle screw counterclockwise about two full turns tried to start it and it started. Now the problem is whenever i try to 1/4 throttle to start break in process the truck stalls. So then i turned the carb screw counterclockwise 1/4 turn and the truck still stalls. I don't think i should have touched either of the two screws and should have called traxxas. Anyone got any ideas on something I could try. I will call traxxas in the morning but i hope i haven;t screwed anything up with the motor. Any help is greatly appreciated. And don't forget I know absolutely nothing about rc nitro trucks:seeing_stars: :seeing_stars: :seeing_stars:

Just as Nicholas655 mentioned return the settings back to factory. Also try loosening the glow plug a little to relieve compression (new engines have a tight pinch and can be difficult to start), rotate the flywheel to move the piston to TDB (top dead bottom) and try again. Once it fires up tighten glow plug. If this fails don't get frustrated as Traxxas has terrific support and will help you.

lol,do you mean top dead center or bottom dead center cause '' top dead bottom'' kind of contradicts itself'' found that funny.

Yes, thanks Nicholas655. Bottom dead center is what I was implying.
