i just payed sixty dollors for my car to get brocken it and it is about 45 dagrees out side and it idles for about 15 secounds and dies right a way and if i give any throttle it dies. They supposably tuned it. I do not know alot about the parts or anything for me to mess around with but if you got tips for me that can help please share them

what kind of car or truck do you have first..
and i would call the place that tuned it and tell them
somthing isnt right with car or truck.. mine tuned my maxx and
they put new needles and all but had low end off just a bit and had same prob.. some times you could have air leaks some where and that will also give problems . so best thing would call hobby shop back and ask.. good luck. let us know what happens...

could be way too rich...does the motor stutter when you put the hammer down? It might just be loading up the crankcase. It could be a number of things though.

it is a monster pirate 10. I called the place back and they said it needs to be warmer outside. When i wen to pick it up they said they were running it at around 35 degrees. when i tried to start it the tempeture was at 43.

I would say they are yankin your chain dude..
my neighbors tmaxx does same thing his was in the needles
he adjusted them like you have to do everytime you go out unless weather is same as day before.. constantly adjusting. like rc planes need to make changes on ground before ya can fly
thats i think most fun you can get all kinds a set ups by tuning motor.. but check again for air leaks around carb and if its runnin crappy go back to factory specs and start all over .if i remember right isnt there a o ring on hs needle maybe needs changing.or if you have another hobby shop check them out . i got a lot a good advice on board like these . good luck...

they one thing that might be it but i am not sure if it is normal but when i put my glow charger on i move all over the place. It clamps on but does not stand still. Could that be a problem. I have check to see it the glow starter works and it does. please help

my glow starter does that too. i have no problem with the fireplug igniting. make sure you have fresh fuel and a good plug.

matt99

even if i can't get my car started should i talk out the gas every time

Thats the way it works...

you say you start the engine and as soon as you touch the throttle is dies, about 15 seconds idling, i would use the trim adjustment on your transmitter and turn it up so the carb just starts to open then start the engine. its gonna want to seem to run away, let it for a few seconds, then turn the trim back down, could be the idle is set to low, i've been told that my idle is to high, but if the car/truck isn't moving then its not to high, in my opinion. hope this helps

matt99

thanx for all your help but i toulk it to a new hobbie shop he tried starting it with my glow starter gave it one pull said that it was dead. All that because i am a stupid rookie
