Engine not running well? Hard to tune?

Just put it away for a few months! So I busted out the maxx today with my 21 maxx in it for the first time since march. It had been running terrible and the steering servo was shot. I after runned it and boxed it up. Now with a new servo and some 20% O'donnell's it runs great! It still lacks alot of low end grunt but I am running big joes. It starts quick and will idle all day long. I still haven't sealed it either. All I did was was set it back to factory specs. I guess I just needed some time away from it....LOL. It no longer sounds like chewy and will almost pull the front wheels. All just in time to get a .26.....Oh well, I guess I have a good motor for the beater revo.

Maybe you had some bad fuel before?

What 21 are you running? I have a lame XTM 24.7 in my BB revo. Just enough power to be fun, but not so much that I'm shelling axles. Although, I'm on my 3rd two speed top gear... just picked up a RRP steel one tonight at my LHS. At least that gear won't fry on me!

It's fun running a light truck with too much power in it. I forgot how much fun it was!

I have the picco 21 max. I just needed some time away from it. I also had to accept the fact that it's not much of a power upgrade from the 3.3.
