When i decided to put it on the road and ru nit slowly, it would fire up but when i kept it on my hand, the wheels would spin so that when i put the car on the ground, it would go about 5 mph or so, but when i put the car on the ground and tryed not to move, the engine would either die out or move, if i lowered the idle so that the wheels dont spin, in my hand it would run good but on the ground it would die out.
Another time, when i left the idle on high ( so that it doesnt die out ) when i accelerated on the ground, i could see alot of blue smoke coming out ( i mean alot ), i could rev the engine quite abit before the car would start to move ...... I thought that i could be running it rich, but when i touch the cooling head, its as hot as a cofee in a mug ( quite dam hot ), is it normall for it to be that hot ( as i also run elecetric and motors are alot cooler ) or what is it ? .........
PS : i run a no4 glow plug in UK ( temps of weather are about 15 degrees celcius ) and 16% nitro .
Thank you alot
I would have thought the clutch was engaging too (bad springs) but you said even at a low RPM it runs good on the ground but as soon as you give it gas it dies.

This sounds like a rich LSN. TONS of blue smoke is just that. You want some smoke but tons, no...

As far as heat, water boils at 212F. How long can you keep your hand in a pot of boiling water?

Get yourself a temp guage and let that be the (starting point) judge.
