same problem as u did.. the instruction is fukked up..


with the carv valve n stuff.


i managed to get it running..

best way to solve it is to take it to a hobby shop n have them break it in..

also.. if u screw up the first few time trying to start... u need to take out the glow plug and clean it.. and hold the car upside down to unflood the engine...
yea the instrunctions are pretty horrible, i was pretty sure i was doing it right but couldnt really tell because they really dont get into any detal at all, im heading up to the hobby shop tomorrow to see what i gotta have fixed on it......

Mini Z C5-R (just sold on Ebay, actually), HPI RS4 Rally with a Subaru body, and the original RC10, which I play with the most.

Used to have the Losi JRX-Pro SE and Double-X which I ran a few events with (several wins too, back when I had good reflexes).

I used to be into R/C cars heavily in high school. I started out with a Kyosho Rampage GT and then with a RC-10GT Team. I slowly got out of the hobby due to $$$ and lack of time and sold the RC-10GT a few years ago. However, I went to my local HobbyTown to look around other day and after not keeping up with the latest and greatest for a few years, I was stunned at the technology advancements in the R/C car world. I'm actually thinking about getting back into it again. I was looking at a Traxxas Revo. That thing is a monster, although I can't make up my mind about whether I want on-road or off-road truck. It's between the Revo and the Associated TC3 RTR. I'd like to get an S2000 body if I go with on-road.
