adjust your idle screw and go from there, i was having the same problem, i adjusted my idle and now it will idle through a tank of fuel and not even want to stall

my idle screw is set at the 1mm gap tht traxxas says to put it at. it used to be open more and it still did the same thing... could it be the lowspeed needle??

I have the same problem. I have been trying to tune my revo for a while and I just can't get it right. I make a couple of high speed passes and then I check the temp just to make sure I don't have it too lean. My temp is around 230-240 the low end is set nice it takes off without bogging down but when I bring it in and let off the gas it dies. I have closed the idel screw and opened the idel screw and nothing seems to help. Please help.

try and richen your low speed like an 1/8 turn and see if that helps, it seemed to do the trick on my buddies savage so maybe it will work on your revo

Dirty needles,gummy carb or dirty fuelfilter/fueltank are usually the culprits.Changing out the glowplug for a new one and cleaning out the carb/needles/fuelfilter plus thouroughly washing out and drying the fuel tank;- you should see an improvement.The other problem maker is air leaks around the composite carb fuel inlet area.Good Luck
