Who'll if u think about it no question is dumb when u r trying to find the easiest answer. We really weren't given a whole lot of info on what's going on. Gotta kinda be more detailed when trying to ask for help by people that can't just stop over and see what's going on. Every detail counts

revs high
When I start the engine up it revs so high I have to kill the motor. Wheels are spinning fast I was able to stop that with the throttle screw. I adjusted the high needle speed to factory settings and turned it a 1/4 turned and it doesn't seem to help the high rev. I did find a bearing that was missing infront of the spur gear thats attached to the front steering, could that be a factor? The trim on the remote was adjusted and didnt do nothing. Hope this breaks it down a lil better.

It sounds like an air leak. You will want to seal the engine as discussed in the the stickied article at the top of this section of the board with a high-temp sensor safe RTV.

Have you taken off the air filter and looked at the gp in the carb????? your idle screw might be screwd in alil to tight????? the gap is supposed to be pretty small..... is it like 1.5mm??? or something like that????
Oh and kinda unsure about this here.........

sounds like to me the lsn is lean. also, check your throttle linkage. It could be binding in the open or partially open position. I had a similar problem with my sons t maxx. found out the throttle linkage rod was bent/binding.
