I took it to a person who runs hpi and traxxas in the neighborhood cause he was home this afternoon, he messed with the settings a bit and it reluctantly fired up, after a tank I ran the third and it fired right up, forth tank I did figure 8's in the street (45 degree's out brrr) and ran without incident, although it did keep running a little warm so I richened it and it went into the recommended temp range, didn't have time, or physical capacity to stay out in the cold so i'll tune it tomorrow and put a video up for your approval

Lacked the physical capacity to withstand 45 degrees?

There are 3 reasons I can think of.

1.) complete lack of personal responsibility
2.) extraordinary Wussification (with a capital P) brought on by years of #1
3.) bad parenting as your mother didn't dress you appropriately because you're not able to as a result of 1 and 2.

Grow a pair, wear pants, a light jacket, a cap and a pair of mechanix gloves. You'd be amazed at what you can accomplish.

That aside, how much did you learn about YOUR motor letting someone else do the work?

well I was outside since noon and I usually wear a moderate jacket, so by the time night time was here I was still in the same clothes, i'm super skinny so I expect to be cold alot, anyway


He told me how it worked, what parts would wear out the fastest, things most likely to break off, break in for the last 2 tanks, and how the needle's should act in accordance to how the car performs off the start and at high speed, which me and my friend will tune tomorrow at my high school's track. I also needed to find out if there would be room for an electric starter back plate because the pull start is murder on the hands, which I knew about before I bought it, customers complained about the hard pull start quite often, and it pulled a chunk of skin off my finger on the last tank I ran which didn't feel to good. And also with an electric start I won't have to remove the body to restart it if it stalls or runs out of fuel.

I also got some tips on winter running and what I should do to prevent damage, tips on keeping its life full with lubricant after a days running, and other such things.

Well that's the first thing you've wrote that appears to have any sense or progress in it. Good.

Bring the cold. it hasn't snowed at all in ohio yet. rather disappointed. I rarely ever get cold. I tend to be the only person walking around town in shorts during a snowstorm, while everyone else is cowering infront of their fireplaces.
