Hey everyone, so I bought a nitro rustler brand new and I immediately had problems with trying to tune it. One day it would act like it's great then the next it would run like crap. But anyway I bought the os carb for it and thought everything would be great. It runs really good up and down the road but it had like a pinging noise when I left off throttle at full so I richened up.
Took it out into the yard and it seems like it's running really good. It's idling pretty good when I checked the temp it was like 230 with the body on and mind you I'm in Florida where it's 92° right now. But after about 1/2 tank or so acts like it's starving for fuel. I left off throttle and kinda blip and tank it easy for a second then it's back to ripping. Is it just cause the tank is 1/2 empty and it struggles for a 2nd to pick up fuel? I do made some sharp turns back and forth in the yard and I don't really have a lot of space to really open it up.
Also when I shut it off I have like 5 or 6 drips of oily brown liquid come out of exhaust tip. I know some is normal. Is that amount normal? It was A LOT more until I realized I had accidentally messed up the mixture screw so I put it back to factory setting and it got a lot better. I'm running sidewinder fuel backyard basher 20%nitro 16%oil
