Tech Adept
no its just something to help people new to rc cars handle the power. once they are comfortable driving it stock they just take out the restricter. i used one for a while, no shame.

yes I use the carb restrictor when I break in my engine, after that I remove it. When I go racing next year I will keep it with me (as it would seem a requirement for some authorities) but once you drive the car without it you wont want to put it back, in my case removing it gave me at least twice the speed overall

What happen if I don't use the restrictor ( light green rubber with two black o- rings ) ??
Increase top speed ? Fuel consumption ?
I always thought the cone shape has something to do with air flows entering the carb.

Restrictor Off: Increases top speed because theres more airflow entering the engine but also will wear out the motor abit more
Restrictor On: Decreases top speed because of less air flow but it will not wear out the motor as fast.....
as for fuel consumption ive been running my engines without the restrictors and i still get AT LEAST 5mins per tank.
Hope this helps
