New Busse Bash thread (old one too long)!

[Akirasoft]

that thread you were linked to is one of the best things you can look at to seal an engine. although all motor are different, the basic build of them is exactly the same. i myself used that thread to seal my first motor. it really is quite easy.

as for the engine not wanting to pull fuel from the tank. is this after fuel hits a certain level in the tank? maybe there might be a clog in the carb. i mean the traxxas stuff is stuffed wtih oil up the ass. lol. so gunking up will probably heppen alot more often. disassemble the HSN housing and check for clogs. flush it out with wd-40 or nitro cleaner to re-assure theres no clogs in it.

and one thing i would do, jsut my personal preference, is change to a different fuel. O'Donnell's is one of the best out on the market.

I'm kind of debating switching fuel, that being said I've actually had better luck with Traxxas then I had with ODonnell back in the day.

End result is the fuel issue mysteriously disappeared, needles are properly set andi've got what appears to be common fuel linkage issues (carb sticking) so I'll try one of them aftermarket linkages. Think im going to try the tekno one with the balljoint on it...

Been a bad RC year for me so far, the revo ran just fine for like the past 3 years but now this year ALL my cars have been giving me all sorts of trouble.

Hopefully I can get something running well enough to actually leave the house with it and hit up busse (point of the actual thread)....
