Jato 3.3 help

[Smokey508]

Hey guys I just bought a brand new jato n having problems already. I'm new to this hobby as well, anyways yesterday when I tried to break in my motor. (1st tank) I had to go full throttle to make it even move is this normal. And now when I try to start it, I have to have the ez start on and pressing the button to make it turn over if I take it off it dies. One more thing when I trie to drive my car it dies right away. I spent a lot of money n this car and already problem smh maybe easy things that can be solve but still, this shouldn't be happening

In one month I've broken in two Jato 3.3's and been witness to one Revo 3.3 break-in. The Traxxas method is impossible to complete as written.
You must apply more than a quarter throttle to keep it running and get it to move. Give it the throttle necessary to get it rolling then cut it back to
a quarter and gently fluctuate the trigger from nearly but not idle back to a quarter. The rich break-in setting is what is causing you to stall under
easy small throttle input. Once you've run through 5 tanks and can begin to lean it out, you begin to see better response and less tendency to
stall at idle or small throttle input. When you reach 180-200 degrees and are reaching an optimum tune, your troubles should cease. My cars. run
awesome, but they have to reach 100+ temps to become responsive and idle dependably.
I had your problem with my first Jato and called Traxxas support and they told me to follow the
cold weather break-in procedure. No help.
Good Luck!
