This is my race ready revo 3.3 with an os .18tm. The engine has had about roughly 2.5 gallons through it.

The first problem i am having is that the idle is weird. When i first start it is high like that because i turned up the throttle trim to help it start, but once i turn it down it idles nice and low. Then it starts to get higher and higher.

My second problem is that the car is making a shredding/grinding noise and i dont know where its coming from. Someone on RCU said it could be a bearing problem. So i took out the bearing that i thought was the problem and it still didnt work.

All help is appreciated.

And dont say anything about my towel. My dad didnt want any oil on the porch and i didnt go outside because it was raining

  • grinding noise i heard on my revo, might

    well i had a grinding noise and couldnt find it anywhere on the gears. so i looked all over.
    turns out the metal piece behind the spur gear(cant think of the name off top of my head) well anyway that part was grinding up against the throttle servo box. it was only hitting the lid part of it. might wanna check that out

  • for the weird noise ...

    for the weird noise I could tell 100% for sure it's in the clutch bell area I would change out the clutch bearings with new ones and put teflon washers on before and after the clutchbell enough so that the clutchbell is about .5 mm away from the flywheel with almost no play forward and back

  • If I had it in ...

    If I had it in front of me I could prolly fix it =] but it's not so my guess is for the idle problem I think it's either: the idle is set high/ the LSN is lean and as it warms up it speeds up or -like revoftw1 says it's an air leak. I would reset my settings to factory and retune to make sure it is tuned well
    The only thing that could keep it from getting a good tune is dirt clogging the carb and air leaks. It's most likely not clogged cuz the revo has a built in fuel filter but check anyway;)

  • the grinding noise ...

    the grinding noise might be your one-way bearing, if you have a problem w/ that just take the 4 screws on each corner of the pull starter out and carfully remove the pull start, the coil might unwind and thats a pain to get back in, just use needle nose plyers, and spray some wd 40 on the inside of the one-way, might clean it out. sand or something could've gotten in it.

    the motor problem might be a loose bolt that holds your carb in. that happened with my rct stock motor and it seemed to be runnin full throttle at idle. tighten that and see if it helps
