Enslave VH-H1 RC Truck Setup Problems

[Leckybhoy78]

Need some advice / help, my son has an Enslave VH-H1 RC truck. Believe this is a replica of the Kyosho Mad Force and have the .21 engine version.
The truck started first time we tried it out of the box, which were the factory settings I assume. Form the manual HSN 3 turns out and LSN 0.5mm in with 2mm gap on carb, never altered any settings. Ran the engine in as instructed to the letter, 3 tanks of gas.

When you apply throttle to the truck it hardly moves, inches forward! and noticed fuel from exhaust, which I assume meant running rich, adjusting the HSN in slight incraments. Still no power going to the wheels.Have tried the HSN at various settings, the truck will move at about 2 turns out but had to adjust the LSN ( turn CW ) a significant amount from the spec to achieve this! It still doesn't move much. When you pick the truck up and apply throttle it seems to put power to wheels and go through gears?

Iam running 20% Nitro fuel, have changed the glow plug, taken a temp reading at plug 126oc enginewarmed up, it stated around 120oc in setup manuals?

Any advice appreciated, regards Paul.

Dont know anything about these trucks but it sounds like your slipper may be to loose? The fuel from the exhaust would mean that its running rich. but even running rich it would move.

Thanks for reply, Slipper is that the clutch and can you adjust this?

Correct the slipper has a nut on it which can be adjusted. Just dont set it to tight or it wont do what it should....slip under binding
