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...

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...

thats true

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
