RC Driving Style
I've been through a gallon and a half of fuel and still no wheelies. I'm not sure whats going on. Temps are running between 230 and 250. Its running very smoothly and reacts fast. If i lean the lsn anymore I'm afraid of getting too hot. It really wants to but just dont yank the wheels off the ground. Also i just wanted too say how tough the revo is,or I'm just lucky. I was running it all day, hue jumps and just couldnt brake a thing. I just dont feel like i had a good day unless something breaks. So, i decided to see what would happen full throttle into the side of a boulder. All i have to say is, wow. The only thing that broke was a turnbuckle. I love it!
 
I'm still on the 3.3 that came with it. From what i hear i should be pulling the front off the ground. True or bull?
 
You can tighten the slipper up full but be careful because that will not allow any slippage and could hurt the trans if you jump and hit under throttle...
 
Tighten the slipper just a tad. It should pull the wheels off the ground. I found that theres a thin line on the low speed needle that will allow wheelies. It takes a bit of tinkering but once you find it you should be good. Make sure you get the HSN tuned first, though.
 
I just realized that your 1.5 gallons into it... Could be a glazing on the clutch causing it to not hook up solidly, which would cause excess clutch slip.

Might want to pull the engine, take the bell off and rough up the shoes with fine sandpaper. Also rough up the bell where the shoes rub. Make sure to clean the bell and shoes with DA before putting it back together. Any oil at all on the shoes or internal bell surface will make for a bad clutch.
 
Ill tighten up that slipper a bit and let ya know. I just chaned out my clutch shoes so they should be ood. But i never thought of roughing up the the bell housing thanx.
 
Whats the hottest i want that motor to get. Its running great at about 240 250 range.
 
wow my brand new 3.3 likes running right a 230ish. and it has gobs of power
 
my revo 3.3 pulls the wheels off ground and will flip on its top if i dont let off.. my settings are HSN 3.5 turns out from closed, LSN from flush .5 turns in.. my temp stays at 260-270 and it screams
