tuning question for traxxas 3.3

[piccorevo]

I see all these threads online with 3.3 motors doing wheelies in T maxxs and revos. I must be doing something wrong with my two trucks. The slipper clutckes are tight and clutches are new. If anyone can shed some light on some tuning tips. Stock needle settings?

having the low speed needle set helps a hell of a lot. make sure you do pinch test. generally on the lean side helps, but also make sure when its idling it is slowly dropping the temp, if it isnt, richen it up a touch.

They both are running in the 210 to 230 temp range. If I lean them out any more they studder on the high side. How many turns out should the LSN be.

If you'e unsure about the hsn settings, you should always richen them first. Observe the engine running rich, then gradually lean it until the power is where it should be.

Read this for your low speed adjustment, I'm sure you have a low speed and idle issue. :https://www.rcnitrotalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94326

210 to 230 is a bit cold for a 3.3 if you ask me ....my 3.3's dont come alive untill they hit at least 260 to 280 ....and around 280 is a normal operating temp for mine

i used to run my 3.3's anywhere from 270 to 290 and got good performance, and they lasted a good while.

My 3.3 never ran well below 260°. It ran best around 280°.
