Ideal idle speed??

bandit1 · 06-02-2005, 05:58 PM

im not new to rc, but im just getting used to the nitro end of it now. I'm just starting to breakin the engine on my XTM Xcellerator, everything is great and it idles pretty good, especailly once its warm....but i wanna know what to look for in a very well idling engine. thanks

You want it so the engine will stay running but the car won't move at all.

bandit1 · 06-02-2005, 09:50 PM

awesome, i got it to do that tonight. thanks!

dj6666969 · 06-02-2005, 11:50 PM

sweet, I bet that engine once fully broke in it will fly!

is that the .18 in the excellerator

dj6666969 · 06-03-2005, 02:09 PM

Yep, it is.

bandit1 · 06-03-2005, 04:00 PM

ya, i think its very near fully broken in because when i go to pull the starter, it pulls very easily and fires within like 7 pulls. before it took a LOT more. I ran it around at low speeds for another full tank and it sounds like everything is is good. I just have to now lean it out a little bit because wen i give it throttle, fuel spits outta the exhaust. but I'll get it! maybe post some pics...

That would be sweet to see some pics of it
