hi

im new to this whole forum thing and the nito buggy scene but none the less i have bought a ho bao hyper 8 and im have a few problems with it. when i got it and it all seemed fine but oncw i got it goin it dosent want to idol and then once i got it past the starting and not stalling stage i put it on the ground squesed the trigger and what do u know it dosent go any where! but seen as i was determend to get it to go i went about half way on the rev's for a whole tank just to make sure it wasnt going to work. so now i have a car that dosent want to idol and dosent want to get, so what should i do?

thanks for any help!

It sounds like your clutch isn't engaging. That could be because of the idle. I would check the manual and go back to the original settings recommended for the carb. Then see if the car will accelerate as the rpm comes up when you throttle it. Make certain you are getting a nice plume of smoke from the exhaust or you are running it to lean.
