Tuning for......less power?

[mustk1ll20]

i have snapped 2 diff couplings 1 axle and bent 1 dogbone. anyway to tune for less power?

also when the axle snapped i went to pick the car up and noticed some bubbling sound coming from the gas tank. normal?

not sure if i even have the thing tuned right. not any smoke at idle intill i hit the gas. which i think is right.


the car is a hpi rush evo with the t15 motor and hopup header.

The bubbling is probably fuel getting from the tank to the hot pipe. Tuning for less power will mean going rich, which is not good for plugs or your engine, and isn't fun either. No smoke at idle is normal, you should have a trail of smoke at wot.

any reason id be breaking these things? I'm not jumping it or running it hard and i only run it in lose dirt an which i dont understand HOW I'm getting traction to snap/bend these parts.

Do you happen to have a locker in the mix? If not, I'd back off the slipper clutch or hunt for beefier parts.

DUH! i dont know why i didnt think about the slipper. whats a locker?


LAST QUESTION! lol i have a decent amount of fuel that comes from the exaust and cakes up dust along the side of the body, is this normal also?

A locker goes in place of the diff, locking both axle shafts together and generally causing bad handling and carnage. If you turn one back wheel and the other one turns in the opposite direction, that's a normal differential. If they both spin the same direction without any slipping, it's locked.

Some transmitters have a trigger(throttle) limiter adjustment.
Does yours?
