  1. Bashing
My friends Hobao Hyper 7 TQ Sport is broken all ready. he got it on friday, and we broke it in on saturday. its now sunday and it will start and run for 10 seconds and then it bogs and wont move but will just about idle. I've checked the Needle settings and they are factory, and I've adjusted it to be lean and rich and tried all the settings, but it didnt work so i just reset to factory settings.

The Problem Is not:

glow starter
glow plug (brand new)
Backpressure line

Could Be:
Fuel line (because it has fuel filter)
Could also be Air leaks becauase of bashing hard yesterday

I need a fast answer, and seing the car is brand new i hope it will work.
Thanks:angry:
 
check to make sure there is nothing stuck in the wheels or driveline. yo may have jammed up a stick or rock or something. done it before.

you can also check the air filter, sometimes they are over oiled from the factory.

bypass the fuel filter just to see what happens. i had one on my revo that leaked at the o rings.
 
Could be some junk in the hsn housing. Every nitro engine should be sealed before ever starting it up. I'd seal it and go from there.
