Hey guys,
I have been out of the rc scene for a while and decided that I would get back in with the purchase of a new Slayer Pro. I did the run-in procedure by the book, however due to school coming to a close, my Slayer sat on the shelf for about 2 months now. Finally being back at home I thought I would take it out for a bash in my back yard. However once it was started, it would idle fine, without the revs bouncing around, and could idle for quite a while ie several minutes or until I would mess with the throttle. Which is where my problem comes in, that when I would give it some throttle the engine would cut. I tried placing the needles back to factory settings and this didn't help the problem. So hopefully I can get the help I need from you! Lastly is the only body for the Slayer the stock one that Traxxas is producing or are there other companies making some. I know that the chassis is longer and wider so it would change the body size and since there are loads of sweet bodies for the smaller Slash and Slayer I was curious on the Slayer Pro. Thanks in Advance for the help!

try richening the lsn ( low speed needle) some because it might be too lean.. Another good thing to alwasy do is to seal your motor for no air leaks. Look at tower hobbies or places like that because I think there is a few different options on bodies. if that doesn't help try richening the hsn (hih speed needle) alittle. good luck!! and I am sure you will get a few more ideas from other people aswell..

That and your plug might be weak aswell. try with a new plug to start off,
 
Thanks! I did stick the new spare glow plug in and got those results. I will try enrichening the LSN tomorrow. Thank you for the help!
