edbond Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I have been trying to tune my Revo 3.3, and have not had much success. I have seen videos where the Revo, when accelerating, the front wheels always lifts off the ground. Mine may lift 1 if I am cornering, but never both if in a straight line. I am tuning the highspeed to what I think is where I don't notice any performance increase, check the low speed and do the Traxxas pinch test, and it always cuts out in about 3 seconds, ergo no need to tune LSN. This last time, the car died, and would not start again. Glow plug had died (which I will accept after 10 or so tanks on new engine) but also I think the reverse gear has done something nasty (Clicking from gearbox, as I don't think it has a centre diff). I will be taking apart over xmas and if it is order the forward conversion. Either have reset tuning to factory as am paranoid about over leaning. I have read loads about the Optdrive and reverse gear been crap, so why do they still bother with it...or is it a way of making an extra tenner ! rant over..... time to take gear box apart - replace - repair - and re tune...... Have a great christmas all Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
