Ok... so my 2nd cat is a Dunerunner... and man is this thing amazing... I cant wait to get the other parts in to hop it up a bit... you can tell it is holding back and it really wants to open up. I did get my spark plugs in today- and the 7 runs much better than the stock 5 it came with.


Now on to my concern. When it is sitting on the sidewalk or in the back of the truck, it will not roll on its own. It is hard as hell to push out of the way in the garage. When it is running, I let off the throttle and it slows down pretty fast. It really seems as if something in the drivetrain is set pretty tight. My XT is not near this tight.


Any suggestions? My biggest concern is that I don't want to burn something up if it is binding. I ordered a belt drive for it and am figuring that will help out when it gets here... but in the meantime I am running with what Ive got.


Thanks,


Aaron
 
Ok... I feel like a dumbass... I did indeed check the gears, and they are just right.

So here is what I found the problem to be...

I needed to adjust the trim on my throttle servo. When not giving it gas, apparently the trim was such that it was applying the break a little.

So... I really wish someone had not already taken the name "rampage idiot" on here, I think I would have won it today.

Thanks,

Aaron
 
Pat your self on the back for resolving the issue yourself. It's great to get help when ya need it but it always feels better to do it on your own. :D
