Picco 26 maxx red dot running issues
Hi all.
I've just pulled out my T-maxx after it sitting in the cupboard for too long!
It wasn't running well last year and after putting it away due to frustration, I've a new found vigour and gonna give it another shot.
I bought the thing second hand and the original 3.3 was wrecked by the previous owner so I ended up getting a Picco .26 Maxx Red dot for it. Everything else is stock apart from a trx resonator pipe. From what I can remember it ran fine during run in and after that but at some stage the current problem began. I'll try and explain...
It fires and idles pretty steady. As i apply very steady throttle and the clutch engages the truck begins to move. I can get it to move along real slow but if I stab the throttle it immediately cuts out! Or if the engine is put under any pressure (going up a slight hill) it cuts out immediately.
I've everything sealed with copper silicone grease. I've checked the pressure and fuel pipe for leaks and they're fine. I'm convinced it may be the carb. I just don't know what exactly!!! The carb is pretty pants to be honest and would love to upgrade. There seems to be a slight jump/notch on the movement sometimes at mid travel so don't know whether that is the problem...
Anyway, can anyone help cos I'm really becoming disheartened with Nitro altogether. I hope the above explains, if not I must try and get it on video.
