its not idling...its probally going half speed. Oi-Vey. Put your throttle trim all the way to the side with the brakes. See if that does it. If not, then tell me.

Really hard to tell. Sounds like you have a bind in your linkage or the servo batteries are getting low. Changing the throttle trim may let you know if it is a bind, but if your batteries are low, nothing will help until you get fresh ones. Can you take a pic? From your description, it is hard to tell what you are describing.

I would like to offer a possible suggestion to insure that you are receiving all the help you can without confusing you any further.
I believe it may be worth having one of the mod's. lock this thread and that you, JCosper, begin a fresh one, with your first post including the following information and any pictures you can upload:
1. What make of rig do you have (i.e. Traxxas Jato, HPI MT2 18ss, etc.)
2. What size and manufacturer engine do you have on it.
3. List, if you know them, any hop-ups or accessories that are on it or any "non-factory" additions made to it.
4. Outline how many tanks of fuel you've put through it and what nitro percentage you used. This doesn't have to be exact, but as accurate as you can helps.
5. What manufacturer radio do you have and how many channels is it.
Then, once you've outlined this, describe what problems you are having and list, as best you can, the symptoms you see. Issues such as, "bogs when giving it throttle", "spits fuel and a lot of blue smoke when idling", "cuts out and dies at full throttle" tell a lot. Don't concern yourself too much with trying to find the technical term or lingo, just be as descriptive as you can and include any adjustments that you made either prior to or after the symptoms showed. An example may be, "leaned LSN one and a half turns and it ran very well, but now it stalls and I cannot start it again until it cools down considerably."
I'm just thinking this thread has gotten itself quite jumbled, and I take full responsibility for directing off course. To better answer your questions and give you a logical outline to follow, it may be best to start fresh.
Just my opinion!

Lean out the High Speed needle 1/8-1/4 turn.
O, and don't forget to get a K&N airfilter after its broken in.... It'll make it go 10mph faster.... so that'd be what? 55? 65? lmao
