JUCD VPR

Well i got my savge 25 the other day. It is used but seemed to run very well. I tuned it a little bit from what i know, BUT after about 2 tanks of gas it started acting crazy. I wasent even pushing to accelerate it and it just took off lol. It almost went into the street and got crushed but i managed to stop it. SO i figured it was the slow speed idle screw? So i figured i needed to richen it a bit? So i turned it counter clockwise and NOTHING same thing. So i thought ok i'll lean it out and Again nothin except it died right off the start. I'm lost? HELP!

Keep in mind this happened after 2 tanks of nitro. It ran great for the first two tanks, BUT even when i first started out playing with it it seemed to rev high just sitting there, acting like it wanted to go but it never really did. Also if i pick it up off the ground the wheels start spinning fast. Not real fast but pretty fast.

Hey Bro go back to the start and tune again ,try not to play with the low end needle,Bring this back out flush with the end of slide,Screw the main in till it stops then screw out 2.5 turns this will give you back to basics then start all over again 1/8 of a turn for all adjustments no more than this and keep going till you hit the sweet spot and you will know when that happens.

To me it sounds more like a radio or interference problem. It was running fine and all of a sudden tried to run away.

So to get back to factory settings i screw the high speed screw all the way CLOCKWISE? and then 2 1/2 turns COUNTERCLOCKWISE. Right?
What about the low speed, what if the factory setting for that? Just flush with the end of the slide?

I thought that could be it also. BUT before i even ran the two tanks of fuel i could get it adjusted right and whenever i picked it up it spun the wheels fast. The whole time it seemed like it wanted to run away but never did.
As far as the radio, it totally shut down and wouldn't go at all, just sat their idling, so i switched off the control and back on right away and it worked again?

MAMMOTH TOUGH

does this truck have a fail safe? if so it sounds like your batts are dying and your failsafe isnt set right.

JUCD VPR

I have no idea what a fail safe is?
But most of the batteries (8) are brand new. I will get 4 new ones and see if that is the problem?

Seeing how he said that his truck tried to take off id say its either
a) the engines idle being set to high rolling away from him
b) the batteries are dying or theres some sort of interference.

Solution to a, if theres a light on your radio and its flashing replace the batteries. OR replace all the batteries in the truck and radio.

b) reset needles to stock and go from there.

I agree, set carb back to factory settings, replace batteries in the truck, and make sure the idle screw is also set correctly. Could there also be a clutch issue?
