OS .18 vs 2.5r

[OS4ever]

Hey everyone,

My little brother has his tmaxx with the 2.5 r. My tmaxx has the OS. 18 with less than a gallon thru it. i have the new tranny. My cb is 20t with a 58spur. He keeps on winning and winning in a drag. Should i go back down to a 18t cb?? When i had the 18cb on it was way torquey with no top end though! It was running like a bat of H@ll but now with the 20tooth clutch bell, it wont even wheely anymore. what gives??

thanks

also my motor only reaches 160-180 degrees when fully warmed up!!! much needed help men

keep ur 20 tooth and lean it out a little to that pinch trick on the fuel fine,
thata what i would try

lean it out a little???? Lean it out a lot!!!! you should be running at 220 in normal conditions. If you want to beat your brother run it at 240, you'll smoke him. Make sure you have a good temp gun. I recommend the Losi Temp/tuner $20. This is definitely a tuning issue.

sweet, i also figured that maybe my clutch shoes were going out too!! I am definitely going to lean it out alot!!!
how long should it take for it to get warmed up. . i normally let it idle for about 3-4 mintues then a make a couple low speed passes.
thanks!

get a 3 shoe clutch. there cheap 3-4 mins is good for warm up

I bought the 3 piece clutch today with lighter flywheel. Should i lean out my LSN to bring up my temps of the HSN. Since its boggin off the line, its the LSN correct???
