T-Maxx 3.3 Motor Issues - Please Help

[DedicatedJOKER]

This is a T-Maxx 3.3 (4908) that I am having trouble with. The truck keeps bogging out whenever I try and give it some throttle no matter how many times I adjust the high and low needles. This video is shot with the truck at all its factory settings - it has been broken in properly. The trucks temperture has been jumping between 150 - 200 and I run 20% nitro, I am not sure in what to try next. I am fairly new to the hobby so any advice or help would really be appreciated, Thank You

how much fuel have you run through it. i have a little trouble with mine if i let it idle for a a few seconds it will load up and choke out when i try to take off. as long as i give it a little "blip" of throttle every few seconds to keep the fuel from building up i am fine. also try checking your low speed needle. I did not see any smoke it may be lean. might have enough fuel to idle but when you go to take off there is not enough fuel there to run.

By the way. if you do adjust the low speed needle adjust very little at a time. It doesn't take much to change a lot. If you are running to rich on the bottom it will spit a lot of unburnt fuel out the pipe.
