That's it. I'm giving up, throwing in the towel. I cant for the life of me get this thing tuned. When I got it, it was almost tuned. Played with it and got it perfect. Now I have since redid the front suspention and rear end. In the process I pulled EVERYTHING off the chassis. Now it won't get a tune for nothing, tranny also needs some adjusting too. I'm selling this thing and going electric asap. Anyone wanna take me up on the offer?

Duuuuuuudddddde l just saw this thread , after posting in your other one, electric or nitro ?

l collect em if there cheap but yours is new is it not ? Price ?

Get an E-Revo mate, the brushless version, you will not regret that.
Buy 6 to 8  of these batteries and 2 or 4, chargers  depending on how seriously long you wanna drive,  and drive all day while all the nitro drivers stop for fuel and tuning all the time.....That alone will give you a tickle....

Add the fuel and glow plug costs up over 2 years, thats roughly the life of the engine, you will find electric to be very competitive with fuel on the actual long term costs. And you never need to replace the internals on a brushless unless you did something horribly wrong... !

LOL, you probs cant afford electric unless your rents make big bucks, If you want half hour + run times you need a 8000mah lipo thats 300 bucks, i'd want 2, so thats 600 then a 200 dollar charger 100 dollar power supply, a good 2.4ghz radio 200+ good brushless is 300+, 1000+ just to have something that can last as long as a nitro when bashing, and then the batterys die, you better not be to far from home, with nitro theirs no problem with that, and then you have to pay for broken parts, because with brushless your gonna break alot.

You dont need 8000Mah batteries, and l run with nitro drivers every sunday, and lm driving more than they ever do, tuning ,re-fueling, l switch batteries, takes 2 minutes, thats it, unless you break stuff, now the nitro trucks dont fare as well in huge jumps, electric theres less parts to come loose, nitro engines are top heavy and come loose, nitro ones flex more around the driveline, smashing gears, you wont jump a nitro as long and high and as ofter as you can a brushless one.There just tougher.
l get 20 odd minutes out of my battery runs, l take several sets and 4 chargers, lve been into remotes for over 25 years, electric is cheaper in the long run if you look after your batteries.Its also less hassle and faster and the trucks are stronger.
You will break more parts with a nitro one if you try and jump it as big as the electric ones jump. So its debateable whats tougher for what, electric will chew cogs easier than nitro at lower speeds,  you get that with double the torque, why bother getting a super picco or an OS when brushless owns them both, and the OS or picco will destroy just as many parts as the brushless, so in the long run, when your sick of crap power out of your nitro, and put a picco or the like in it and start breaking parts, its gunna work out far more expensive than just buying a brushless one to start with.

l have 8 LIPO, 6 x 5000 7.4 v and 2 x 5400 , 11.1 v and l run all day, charging driving and sometimes drinking ! Who said drink driving isnt fun !
l have 4 venom chargers.
hahah l have no tuning LOL !
l turn it on when l get there and lm driving.....jumping....crashing !
l am yet to see a nitro driver have as much driving time as me at the meet spot. The beach at hervey bay, roughly 40 a week show up.All different cars from old tamias to nitro to brushless, is a wikid day out, but ya gotta have 2.4 or FM for all the ubers that just show up and turn on , on 27 or 29 megs LOOOOOL ! fun days but.
Anyone in hervey bay should come down sundays midday onwards....</p>

Well... piddlefoot you have shed a lot of light to me in your very informative post.  Thank you. 

On the other hand I did get my 2.5 running a little better.  I had the lsn too lean.  It's actually about 1/2 turn richer than factory, hard to believe but it's running a little better.  Didn't get to do a high speed run because I ran out of sunlight.  I'll try it tomorrow when the sun comes up.
