Eitheir the glow plug is shot, or your running it too rich,does it spit out a bunch of fuel when it is running with glow plug attached?

Check the glow plug....I bet that is the problem.

The plug was my first thought to and maybe you should set the carb back to factory setting. Four from closed on the hsn and the screw should be flush with the end of the shaft on the lsn. You should not be able to see the side of the screw at all if you can its out to far.

i just changed my plug when you put a hi pro pipe on do you need to reajust

 

[weezracen]

Yeah I would start from factory settings again. I maybe this will help you get your tune right.

ok thanks alot is the trx .15 just as good with upgrades as the trx .25

Traxxas don't make a .25. The 2.5 is a .15.

 

[weezracen]

I never had a .15 but my friend has had one. His held up ok to my 2.5. I think and someone correct me if I am wrong but a a 2.5 is really a .15 they just give you a different kind of measurement to make it seam bigger. All in all it is physically bigger on the outside for sure. The 2.5 does perform much better out of the box not doubt not sure about any upgrades tho.Really I don't even know of any.

 

[Metalhead Matt]

Yeah, the smaller number's cubic inches. The bigger number's cubic centimeters.

can yall tell me the factory settings again please

 

[weezracen]

Are they not at the top of the page? I will go and get them right out of my book for you in a few.

 

[nsport11]

thanks man

4 turns out on the hsn. 1 1/2 on the lsn. Don't tighten either too much. Just until they stop. Don't force them at all. Your really not tightening them or loosening them; it's opening and closing. So go easy.

Those are the settings for the 2.5 The .15 is 2 1/2 turns out from closed on the HSN, and 1 3/4 on the LSN.

[Metalhead Matt]

You need to be specific on what engine you have. If it's the original pro .15, the settings above are correct. If it's a newer 2.5 or 2.5r, go with the 4 and 1 1/2. All the engines I listed are .15's.

 

[weezracen]

Did I give miss information? I am sooo sorry!:\

 

[Metalhead Matt]

It's possible he has the oldest .15. I didn't think about that either.
