MikeyMikeUK Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Ive spent the last few days trying to get my new Rascal tuned up. Can anyone tell me the base needle settings I want to get it back to the factory settings and start from scratch. More haste less speed this time. Ive broke the engine in with about 4 tanks of fuel now, took it easy on the accelerator during this phase. But I just cant seem to get the tuning right. This is my first nitro buggy and so its all a bit new to me. Is the Rascal generally easy to tune or is it just me ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-x-l-e Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I spent the best part of half a day trying to tune mine. After giving up and putting it down to nitro noob syndrome I took it to a shop who confidently said they could tune it. 10 mins later the guy was running down the street after it! Turned out the issue wasn't tuning but a broken part on the engine (flywheel???) which was preventing the car from idling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
