2.5 Tuning Help PLEASE! - Traxxas_Junkee - 04-05-2006
I have a 2.5R with the stock carb on it, the motor is getting a little hot for my liking 290, i like to keep it about 250, the truck seems to run fine and then it will just seem to cut out, im thinking it might be my fuel, it may be old, i got it for free, i was using 20% and this is 15%, i think im going to pick up some new fuel tomorrow from LH, but i just want to make sure im not missing something. I made sure that all the needles are at factory settings and everything is good.

Ok so you got the orange tank seal now?
2.5 Tuning Help PLEASE! - Traxxas_Junkee - 04-05-2006
no, i told you, the gasket jut got pushed up, it make a good seal now.
2.5 Tuning Help PLEASE! - Ponch - 04-05-2006
No it doesn't. Anybody knowledgeable with the revo will tell you flat out that you need the new orange seal or a similar one from a hardware store. The blue one is crap.

Matt, I did a pressure test in the sink, it seals fine, no bubbles that isnt the problem

Plug temperature change along with fuel change? Bag that fuel and go back to fresh 20% and see if the trouble persists.

Yeah I will, I might get to LH tomorrow but IDK, I might be getting out of RC until summer, or at least just on the weekends, I have to start focussing on school more.
