when breaking my tomahawk in, i found it hard to adjust the trim, its either going to the right or to the left, is there any adjustments on the car i could look at? also when i break the engine cuts out, how do i stop this from happening? great fun though for the little time i had it out. pull start went eventually!!! BLEAK!!! can i fit one of those electric gun thingys to the tomahawk?
 
the reason its cutting out when u break is because the idle isnt set right. take out the air filter and look into the carb, there should be a small gap that will allow it to idle so adjust the idle screw till u see about 1-2mm gap should be fine. there should be a knob on ur handset that will adjust the steering for u, if that doesn't work make sure ur front wheels are linded properly. also (and i know this may sound stupid) is the ground ur running on flat?? if its banked at all the car will always pull to the low side
 
When your front wheels are straight ahead they should both point inward to each other a little (toe in) without this the car will wander and make triming it very hard to keep it in a straight line.If you are running on a street that is crowned drainage ditches on both sides the car will tend to drift the way it slants all you can do is drive it.:D
 
Actually, the rears should toe in, and the front should be at zero or 1 degree out.
When you set the idle, do it with the trim all the way off while holding the trigger in full brake position.
You're better off with the pull start, but you don't pull it like a lawnmower. short quick pulls in rapid succession is the way to do it.
