Revo stalls...need tuning help

[SkyMaxx]

Hmmm...certainly sounds out of balance. Is the wheel glued all the way around or spot glued? If spot glued, did you glue it evenly...as in spots like lug nuts on a car's wheel, balanced around the edge of the rim.

It is also possible that the wheel is not tightly on the RC...make certain it is on the hex all the way or whatever the REVO has to keep the wheel on the axle and that the wheel nut is tightened all the way down. A loose wheel can cause the RC to wobble when airborn.

It is also possible, but unlikely, that your one wheel got some water in the foam or got crunched up unevenly on the rim while you were trying to glue it. This would cause the wheel to be unbalanced, and thus the ride to be unbalanced when airborn.

All of these can be corrected without buying a new wheel...but buying a new pre-glued wheel is also an option and entirely up to you.

tire problems

my local hobby shop glued the tire all the way around, but i think he's blind because he made a mess of the glue. my 3 year old could have done better herself.

also, is it impossible to align the wheels perfectly straight

when i take it off a jump, the rc wobbles and wiggles. Its so busy in the air, i can't seem to react to its inaccuracy

I do not think you are launching well. If you come at it squirelly than you will react the same in the air.Sometimes a weak ramp will cause you to be uncontrollable as well.

Am not certain what you mean by your last question...yes, it is possible to misalign the wheels.

If you are hitting the jump square on, and not applying any turn inputs while airborne, and everything else is set properly (wheels properly secured to the axle), then odds are the wheels are out of balance...meaning that there is something not right inside one wheel or inside multiple wheels. Since you only had one glued, I am betting something is not right with that one wheel.

Alignment and Tire glued

About the Alignment
Can u align the toe in and toe out perfectly, or is it just an eyeballing thing?

About the glued tire
I decided to buy preglued tires, that way i know they should be done right.

Depending on the tools you use, you should be able to get the toe in/out alignment darn close to perfect. Otherwise, it is an eyeball measurement. Again, that is dependent on your tools and experience.
