Looks cool. I do not think I have seen anyone post pics yet with the RTR body. Does not look that bad all cut out and installed.

here is my video of me driving it at a track for tuning purposes. after that video i got it to idle lower. or was that a good idle?? and did i get it around top speed?? sorry for it being all over the place i was by myself and had to drive and video so i had slight issues. lol.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge can respond but the idle seems good. It looks a little rich to me though.

It looks a little rich to me though. yeah that would be good because i am totally new to this and dont know what to expect and yes it was a little rich but my low speed and idle were lean so i did some more tuning and got a lower idle with a little richer low speed and leaner HSN

Also my rear left tire has a problem and i dont know what it is but have a idea. well here is the problem... there is a hard lump in one spot of the tire making it bumb around when driving. i was looking at it and was feeling the tires... what i think is the problem is the foam inside the tire got bunched up into one spot.. cause you can squeeze the other tires and it makes a hissing noise but only goes so far but when that tire is squeezed (not on the lump) i can squeeze right to the wheel so this is what lead me to beleive the foam is bunch toegther is there any way to fix this?? if that is too take the tire of the wheel how do i do that when its glued???

Yeah one of my tires has the same problem. I left it that way because I only use the tires to bash / test car as they aren't good for anything else. To remove glued tires boil them and they come right off.

GL!

Nice, lol.

The foams in the tires are not good, period. :( They are made from strips of foam rather than a donut cut from a single chunk. So I think sometimes they come unglued and get bunched up.

I don't know how good the glue job is, but maybe you could separate the tire from the rim at the inside bead to get at the foam and maybe fix it, or replace it. (I use exacto knife)

If you want to remove all the tires completely, baking in the oven at 250-300 for like 15-20 minutes works good. Use gloves :)

Use gloves :) there is something they could upgrade..the tires and wheels and foam inserts. ill probably just leave it cause its not that big of a deal but will change it if i get annoyed. lol. i have a couple shirts like that one. the other has a weiner dog and above it it says "Are You Looking At My Weiner". also had one but it disappeared was a smokeymon one. it had the pokemon picachu with dreads and was high and drinking and stuff. as you can tell i like joke shirts.

I think you are still running rich. Should rev out higher than that. Idle seemed good though. I bake my tires to get them off of the rim just like fusion said. I put them on a baking pan with tin foil and use gloves when removing them.

Tune your hsn first to get a good top end and then adjust lsn to suit aswell as idle.

a good read that can make you a little bit wiser.
