I always thought you were supposed to adjust the HSN first?


An extra bit of knowledge to add to my squishy blob of nerves.

If it won't idle all you can do is get the ball park position for the HSN. Then set the LSN for idle and take off, then tweak the HSN for WOT and temp and humidity changes.

Well you've got a hell of a crew chief and a huge support team that doesn't really know what we're doin, but we're here for support, that's why you have the good crew chief. :LoL: I think you just need to get a baja 5b buggy so you don't have to worry about those dam needles any more. I know what you mean about getting it all ready and the rain storm coming. Today, I worked on my T-Maxx all afternoon doing different things to it and cleaning it and changing spur gear, stuff like that, got all my batteries charged up. Well finally it was time to go run the darn thing, and I discovered I accidentally left my EZ Start wand in the yard cuz I freaked out when I shredded the spur gear. So it got rained on, shorted out, and caught on fire, haha. Anyway, got all dressed up with nowhere to go kinda thing. I'm gonna pick up an easy start in the morning and maybe my 3PK system, we'll see.

Well I asked for the spur gear incident, I was jumping the truck and had a bad landing. I could have gone and got the Easy Start yesterday btu I decided to just wait till today since the truck is ready to go and I'll have it for teh weekend weather permitting.
