Nitro rustler brakes stopped working, the whole spindal for the spur is moved over??
 
Scroll down to thread 8 for brake problem....

I tried to lower my idle, (counter clockwise). And the car jus wouldnt idle low. When I try to cut the fuel line, the engine screams first. Does anyone know the stock idle screw settings or why it would do this?

note:running nitro rustler 2.5 rtr

When you look into the carb you should see a 1-2mm gap with break applied. That should give you a good idle and keep it from stalling when you break.

What do you mean by cut the fuel line ? Are you pinching it by the carb. If so it should raise in idl speed a little and then die out after 3-4 seconds. If it runs longer it too rich, if it runs less, too lean.

Is there a factory Idle setting for the 2.5, cause my idle screw is all out of wack.

Just adjust it to a 1-2mm gap when the brake is applied.

Ok idle is ok problem solved. Something else weird has happened. My brakes dont work. And when I grab the spur gear I can wobble it a litte back n forth with my hand. Is it suppose to be like that? But yea my brakes dont even work !!! :( Why is this. They worked the first few times i started it. Now nothing. When I feel the brake pad its locked up but the wheels keep spinning?

I took off the spur gear and found that the piece that sits in the break bad is not in there? Like everything on the whole spur gear crank is pushed out?

I dont get what you are trying to say. It looks fine to me though. The brake pads should only cover 1/2 of the brakes disc.

RaV3N 02-06-2009 07:30 PM

If u look at the top picture with the center piece that goes inside the brake pad, thats as far as it goes in, in the picture. Thats how it sits, not inside the pad in order to make the wheels stop. It wont go in far enough to lock in. The hole crank that the spur and center piece for the break pad sit on, is pushed out a bit, making the brake pad lock not in place as well as the spur gear hanging halfway off the pinion. I guess i know why the brakes dont work, but is it fixable?

Notes: This happened on first tank (break in)

Does anyone understand what Im saying?

Chris__RC 02-06-2009 08:39 PM

I dont have the rustler so i wouldnt know. Just contact traxas about that.

RaV3N 02-06-2009 09:00 PM

Yea, my only guess is that it defective.

I'd tear it apart and see what's making that shaft stick out further than it's supposed to.

RaV3N 02-07-2009 01:20 PM

Well I tore it apart and it turns out that inside the transmission where the spur and brake shaft goes into the gear, there was a pin that goes through the gear and the shaft that wasnt even there or broken off!!!! It was missing the part from the factory. If i didnt discover my brakes werent working, I could have totalled this car on the first run!! First buy from traxxas wasnt a good one.

RaV3N 02-07-2009 01:31 PM

does anyone know where I can buy the transmission part?

GO to the traxxas manual, then look up the part. Google the part number, and order it.
