Got My Pede

[snwbrdrpaw]

I got my stampede on the 19th. It is really cool looking. When I first tried starting it, it wouldnt start, but I took it to my lhs and the guy fixed it. it has really poor exceleration(spelling), but I need to run 3 more tanks of gas before its broke in. I got some extras: 1. fuel filter
2. throttle return springs
3. spare glow plug(already blew one)
4. all the tools I need

This truck is the coolest, I highly recomend this truck to everyone.


I have a question, how good is byron originals 20% fuel?

Thanx

As far as I can tell, the Byron's Race 2000 20% fuel only has 12% oil in it. I think Traxxas recommends 18% oil content. This is not to say that Byron's is bad fuel, it just may not have the oil content Traxxas recommends. Byron's Race 1500 15% nitro has 18% oil, you should contact the store you bought the fuel from to make sure. Here's a link to the Byron's fuel home page.

Good luck with your new toy!

Oh yeah,

the acceleration stinks because the motor is probably tuned with a rich mixture for break in. It is normal to go through a plug or two during the break in period. There should be visible smoke from the exhaust, and it may leave a (light)trail of oil on the ground. As you lean the mixture out (a little at a time, like the book says), the engine will become more responsive - and pretty soon you'll have trouble keeping the front end on the ground!

Make sure you break in the truck according to the traxxas .15 pro book bye dude.

Be careful breaking it in, you dont want to ruin your engine.
