Hi Guys,I am doing the engine run in on my boys Himoto cars when i was out there doing the first one when it started it was running at full throttle,and the smell was bad when i was holding it so i eventually got it stopped....can you tell me why it is going full speed once started and how do i get it to run the normal speed for the FIRST stage of the engine break in.

If it is at full throttle, the carb is open too far and/or running way too lean. i would check the gap in the carb (with air filter off) and you should only see a sliver of an opening (less than 1mm). That should take care of the high running.

Make sure the throttle servo is in the neutral position. Then make sure the carb is closing properly. If it is not set-up right the carb will not be able to close all the way.

Thanks for the info there,just i want to get the boys car running before i do the second break-in stage on my own car,tell me what would be one of the best price cars to buy at the minute

thanks chris,just am new to this hobby,having a bad time trying to get the boys cars set up for them,so whats the best way to set it to neutral,there cars are all himoto and 3 types sun fire etc not sure the name of the other 2,do you know of these cars and there controllers,as i tried turning knobs and pressing buttons

thanks graham

This should be in the manual for the cars. I have never seen that car so I don't know what the linkage looks like. If you push on the call where the linkage is connected with the servo and see if it is closing all the way. You may need to take the air filter assembly off. Before you do that make sure to clean around it so the dirt doesn't go into the engine. One knob on the radio should adjust the throttle servo position. Set it back to the center position. You should also check what the other guys said.

See if there is anything in here to help

Don't give up yet. You'll be able to get them running. First, have you made any adjustments to the carb settings?

If you can, tell me what engine you have. SH? VX? .18? .15? Then I can help more.

Let me know how it goes. Make sure your glow plug ignitor is charged. Also, you'll want to have several spare "hot" glow plugs for standard nitro engines. An example is the OS 3 plug.

SH is not too well known but make engines for other companies such as the Dynamite nitro engines and Losi's new gas engine.
