No Power..

[sbisson1]

I got my hellfire running.. thanks for everyones help. Now I have a new problem. When I pull the throttle trigger I've got no power. I f I hammer the throttle its boggs down and stalls. If I slowly pull the throttle it will go slow but won't accelerate very fast and I can't get it up to speed. What can I try to get this thing flying?

Refer to you manual and check out the carb settings. On the HPI 4.6 engine the correct factory stock setting are flush on the low and mid-range. On the high-end needle, there is a groove that you line the plastic screw head up with. You can now adjust. You can download the manual at hpiracing.com

Ok I reset my carb settings back to factory settings and i still can't get any power I followed the break in procedure and started retuning it and I can't egt it to run any hotter than 112 F. I don't get it... Is there any good books or videos on tuning and maintaining these cars? If any one can help me out that would be great

its not bogging during idle just when u accelerate. correct?
try leaning the HSN and change ur glow plug and see what happens
try a MC8 or MC9 plug.
