My t-maxx will start and idle but when i give it throttle it either takes off for a couple seconds and then boggs and dies or just dies right away. It revvs up before it dies. Once it dies the spur gear is still spinning.

any ideas?

Thanks
 
You'll need to adjust the LSN. Is it blowing a lot of oil and fuel out of the pipe while it's idling? If so, you'll need to start leaning the LSN till you get a good take off.

I should have asked does it do this trick when its hot only or just anytime. If you let one idle long it floods itself espcially after the engine is hot. Go watch a race pit guys hold the cars it the air while drivers flutter the throttle to keep this from happening...

I adjusted the LSN and it seems to be doing alright now, we'll see. I didn't think it was anything to do with tuning because I had just tuned it literally the day before.
