Nick , make sure you have a good throttle return that pulls carb COMPLETELY closed
leave .5mm at least gap between throttle pull on servo arm and collar stop

Well I didn't find my bogging problem. Got new "matching" flywheel, shoes, and bell. Same deal. Just don't have any torque first 5 feet out of the corners. The X7 seems to be running good but just lacking that oomph out of corners. Weird.

That is assuming u have not done this already that is.
I also had issues with this with one of my x7 and it turned out to be a air leak in the carb, sealed her up and she was golden.

Thanx guys. Soon as track dries today I'll see what's up. Jason I actually did check that last night. Plug is sitting perectly in there.
I found where the new clutch shoes were rubbing...barely...on the clutch bell. So I added more shimming and it seemed yesterday. But I need to get it fired up today and see where I'm at.

Well the bog I was whining about is was all gone today. Everything was flawless with that engine. However my buggy with BTT developed a bog but I think that is fuel tank related. The buggy was super dialed Friday and part of today. I actually was headed for pole position in Rd. 1 and 2 till I caught lap traffic.
Round 3 and then the main just the car just started developing a bog. I uad swapped to a Losi tank for practice but that was an old tank and the seal was dried up.
I'm just not sure if my tune was barely off, or I had tank issues.
