And that setup works pretty well for you? It really does have very little to no body roll in that video.

@Dirty30J yea it does pretty good, I also run 100wt oil front/90wt rear and running ddm 14.2lb front springs front and rear

Maybe I’ll try some front shocks in the rear some day, first thing I have to do is learn how it handles, and learn how to drive it

For the past two days I can’t get this thing to run. I go with the base settings, go rich, go lean, no difference.
Low is 1-1/8 out
High is 1 1/8-1 1/4 out
A guy on YouTube suggests 1.5 and 2 turns out
Neither work honestly and going lean from base settings still result in wet plugs.

What carb are you using and can you explain the technique you use to start it?

Walbro 1107, when cold, choke and 3 soft pulls and it sounds like it’s ready. Choke off I just pull it but not like an animal.

It could be overly flooded. I had that happen and it took me days to get it running again. Flip the truck over and remove the spark plug then pull on the pullstart and see if fuel comes dumping out. Your gunna need a new plug or dry the wet one really good

I have 3 of them I have been swapping with. If it gets wet I spray it with carb cleaner and grab the next dry one
Thanks for the help. I made a video but half the time the car wasn’t on so of course it wouldn’t start.

Hopefully you won't continue to have issues and enjoy driving it.

Yea no kidding. On my first (and only) nitro, I didn’t have any troubles tuning and getting it started.
I did try turning it over and pulling it a few times. Only the DDM vented gas cap leaked out fuel.
Tomorrow I will source a couple more plugs just to try “new” plugs

I got it running this morning, it was idling great but I was sorting out a bog that it had. I couldn’t tell if it was lean or rich. I just kept going very small adjustments until it just died.
Seems like it was all good until it warmed up really well. Now it’s back to not starting.

I need a work stand now. No wonder everyone has them, must make life a little easier.
