Hey guys , I was running my revo yesterday and it ran fine . But today i started it up and it runs, I give it gas and it moves but when i do full throttle it revs high but goes slow. Is it because of the weather? it is about 85 degrees and the humidity is very high, its very hot here. I thought maybe it was the tranny so i opened it up , and everything was good.Any ideas what might of happen, and what is broken?


Thanks,
Patrick
 
have you checked your slipper clutch? the nut may have come loose. try tightening a bit but don't tighten it so that it doesn't turn anymore. Tighten it some and run it. see how it changes the performance. then you can either leave it where it is, tighten it a little more or loosen it depending on your preference. hope this helps!
 
If it is the weather, then some tuning adjustments would show improvements.
I would look at the slipper like RunawayJim said.

Oh yeah, did you ever try out the your new Picco?
 
Yup it was the slipper , As soon as i tightened it it was going fast as HELL, and it was popping wheelies :D. Yes i have tried out my picco .26 max I broke it in using heat cycle method, sealed it up and put it in my toolbox . I'm going to wait until my 3.3 breaks. a good quote people on this forum use " Don't fix it till its broke"
