Engine stops during jumping

[Rubber]

Hi guys!

I'm new with this class and that why I need yours help.

I have a car XRAY XB8TQ with Meza ZX-21 Race installed. I have now run with that engine about 2 gallons without any weird dumps. But last two times when I have been driving I have some weird problems with that weird dumping.

This situation is like that we have few jumps in our local track and if I jump and after that dont gives any throttle when car hits the ground engine stops. I have now checked clutch bearing order new clutch shoes I will try those today...but do you have any other things to check?

I would check the clutch set up. You may have a clutch spring go bad..

like he said........the clutch.........could be the fuel line also.......line could have a tiny hole or crack that opens up from the line moving around sometime during a jump.......had that happen with my savy.......ran fine on the ground till i would make a jump & would die in midair or right at the landing

Check the clearance between the flywheel and the rear brake calipers. If clearance is tight and the chassis flexes on landing the flywheel may be getting caught on the calipers and cutting the engine.

Is it idling any lower than it used to? A low idle will cause that as well if it's too low. Especially off high jumps.

Also check your flywheel depth. If you have then engine mounted a bit low, the flywheel may be slightly lower than the bottom of the chassis and may be hitting the ground when it bottoms out.

^^^^ What he said. Make sure the flywheel is not toutching the growd when the suspension is compressed all the way.

which direction is his stinger facing? I know some people face them down to direct the goop onto the ground. I know, dumb question.
