Hey my problem is my revo cuts out all the time. Some times it will run fine and then it will just start to cut out when i give it any gas. I have tuned it by riching it and leaning it. I have set it back to factory settings and still cuts out as soon a i give it any gas. It will just run if i leave it idle but as soon as i touch the throttle it stalls. Getting really fustrated because i can't even run it to tune it. I even pulled off the carb and checked it out for blockages. Any help would be nice.
 
this is kinda where i am too, might be air leaks, I've searched so many threads, I all confused.
 
The best thing to do is to go ahead and seal the engine with a good quality high temp RTV. There are plenty of these on the market. I would suggest that you seal the backplate and the carb by applying a small bead of the RTV around each of them and reinstalling. You need to let them cure for at least 24 hours. After letting it cure, go ahead and reinstall it in your truck and set the needles back to factory settings and re-tune from there.
 
Yes, seal the engine. Then start it and hold the truck off the ground and slowly roll into the throttle. If it dies keep doing it a couple of times. If it gets to where you can roll the throttle all the way open with out it dieing drive it around. Then if it's idling or you are driving at part throttle and hit the gas again and it bogs and dies it is loading up on full to quickly. May need to lean the low speed. Try leaning the low speed untill it stops loading up so quickly and then you will probrably have to richen up the high speed some after that to keep temps in check and also re adjust idle since leaing the low speed will raise your idle speed. This fixed that problem with mine.

this problem sounds very similar to mine, and i just sealed up the engine a couple days ago. i'm gonna try this. my truck seems like its either too rich or too lean and if one needle is about right, the other one is wrong. i'm about ready to take it to a pro somewhere.
 
what you might try is hold it off the ground and let it idle for a bit.Then ease up on the throttle run it like that for a while then once you have it running then set it on the ground and ease up on the throttle if it dies then go ahead and call traxxas or try and seal the engine. Best guess is your leaking somewhere so check EVERYWHERE!! if not call traxxas and tell them your problem if they can't help get an o.s. they always start!!
