Traxxas issues.
I have had a Nitro Rustler for roughly 10 years. It does not come out often enough. In 10 years it has had maybe a gallon and a half run through it. Lately I have been using it more and more.
On full throttle it bogs down. If it stalls, it is very difficult to start. This only happens when it warms up. I rarely run the body so it shouldnt be overheating. And the fuel is newer. Has the electric start with the auto glowplug. And I think it has the .15 engine. Any ideas?

Do you put oil in the cylinder when it sits? Glow plugs bad, fuel bad, o-ring on carb split, tank has a crack or fuel hose letting air in, check temp of head to be sure carb is not clogged. They can be finiky!

Did the same with brand new fuel, and has a new glow plug. Fuel hoses are all new. Usually I put the oil in. Every once in a while I forget. What about carb adjustments? I have heard if one thing is out they run bad. I have also heard carb adjustment is very difficult.

o-ring and tank okay? idle screw easy. mixture screw tricky. Need a temp guage to set it. Wonder if compression is an issue. Same brand of fuel?

No different bramd of fuel. Ran it again and paid close attention to it. It blows lots of smoke. Any idea how to lean it out?

If this thing causes you too much trouble you can always fire it up and throw it in a fire and watch it burn! I have done this a time or 2 when they get to me.
