I GOT THE FANTON 15 AND I AM HAVING A PROBLEM. WHEN I GIVE IT FULL THROTLE THE SUCKER WANTS TO DIE. BUT AT HALF THROTLE IT RUNS GREAT. ANY SUGJESTIONS?

Is is smoking a lot? Running hot? High speed could either be a little lean or WAY to rich.

That is a sign of a lean condition. Turn high needle 1/8 turn and try again. You can do the same with the low needle (if equipped).

What car is it in?When I put my fantom in my SS I noticed a similar problem but mine was doing it because the slide linkage was wrong and at full throttle the break was engaging and making it slow down and run really hot. Just a thought.

IT IS RUNING VERY HOT. AND IT HAS THE REGULAR EXHAUST WHEN U DRIVE IT. ITS IN NITRO MT.

Definitely running lean. Start tuning it by turning the high speed needle 1/8 turn counter clock wise (left). Keep doing so until the engine temp is acceptable and the motor does not die.

yeah its definatly the tuning just set the needles back to factory and start over again.
