poopie- It acts like either I need a rebuild or it has an air leak. I don't think it needs a rebuild since I only have 3 quarts of %20 on it and I havn't been hard on it at all.

What air filter are you using? How dusty was the track? Could the air filter have gotten real dirty.

Got speed- My friend had this same problem when using the mc-9 glow plug. I had him switch to the mc-59 (what i use) and he hasn't had the problem anymore. Come to think of it i had this problem with the original glow plug that came with that engine. just a thought

SlickBoy99- I am using the filter that comes with the AE .15. I had just cleaned the air filter earlier in the day. The track wasn't dusty.

wannabee-I'm using an MC-59. I looked at it to see if it was going bad and it would still glow real bright.

I checked the fuel line and it's clean. I found a little peice of something on the high speed needle though. I cleaned the needle and tried driving it again but it still bogged down.
The engine still has plenty of compression.
It is really weird because for the first three laps it acts normally and then it just bogs way down. I lose about %75 of my performance.

StevePond · #8 03-01-2002, 12:13 PM

Speed, what engine are you using, and whats the engine temp when it's bogging bad?

EbayGTDisaster · #9 03-01-2002, 02:35 PM

man, everytime i run my gt i break something, too bad i'm an idjit, lol. well, after 4 weeks and about 200 dollars, my truck is sweet. i just purchased a mag jr. am and installed the servos, now i need to get a new throttle/brake linkage set(realized mine has been hacked so much it's scary, and can only get 1/2 throttle if i want the carb to close to idle when i let go of the controls) i'm also running the truck without a rear bumper(due to a run in with a curb, it exploded, wish i had a digi camcorder, lol) but i did get new shocks(sweetness) rpm ballcups, new spur, new turnbuckles, etc..... i think i'ma go with the ofna throttle linkage set, and then i think my truck is about as hopped up as i can get it, lol. anywho, just keepin the thread goin, and if i ever find the install disc for my pc cam, i'll post pics.

You exploded the REAR bumper?!? Oh, man... I wish you could've got that on camera too! Funny... Holy Cr*p guys! 101 pages? Keep it up!

Got Speed · #11 03-02-2002, 12:41 AM

Steve- I am using the AE.15 and it was 270 if I remeber right.

NewToNitro · #12 03-02-2002, 02:46 AM

I just got a RC10GT team kit and this is the first kit i have built( i have 2 other nitro cars though). I need a good cheap steering servo but good enough for racing on sundays). I was looking at the Cirrus CS-80 the speed sucks but it has like 120oz tourqe(overkill?). What rims fit the GT....i dont really care for dish rims. Is there any advantage to them?

Iv'e got the Odonnell head for the AE.15 and it is all pitted in the comb chamber. My piston has a pitted ring around the outside of the top too. The pistin is only a month old and the head is about 3. I fun Odonnell 20% fuel ant the temp is between 230 260, Mcoy 59 plug. What woulkd cause the pittping and is it OK to use my head still. I wad thinking of milling a little off the head to remove the pitting and reduce the comp ratio if the pitting was caused by detonation.
PS I race against a couple of MT12.s and a rb concepts so I think I might have stressed the mill a little.

Thanx tor any help

Someone has to have this, can you scan and email me? please "The Truth about Engine Break-In by DAVE GIERKE in the Jan 2002 issue"?

I would sure appreciate it.

Jwelch · #16 03-02-2002, 10:56 AM

Has anyone checked out the HG aluminum conversion kit for the GT? It looks awesome! Check it out at Stormer Hobbies in the featured items boxes on the home page. It comes with chassis, shock clips, arms (4), shock ends, rear hubs, front axles, etc etc. Yea yea, I know it's not for racing, but swtich out the aluminum arms when it comes time to compete and you're all set!

earnhardtjr · #17 03-02-2002, 11:06 AM

I have it. Lets me see if I can make an electronic copy of it for you. I will let you know. Worst case I will copy it and mail it to you the old fasion way.

I will check into it today.

havent been here in 2 weeks and boy do things change.

heres an update on my OS .15 CVX hyper.it seems to get better with every tank i run through it and the longer it runs the better it runs so far ive put about half a gallon through it.It is definately a fuel drinker!i was running a 15t CB and 66T spur.it was way to snappy off the line ,spinning out or wheelies on anytype of surface.i changed to a 16T CB to try to get it not so snappy but still have a good take off with a little more speed.The new clutchbell did tame it a little.im waiting for the LHS to get the next size up so i can try it.with the 16/66 combo at full throttle it goes so fast that if i turn the wheel it will do a 180* spin and keep sliding backwards with the wheels spinning.I wish i bought an OS engine when i killed the AE .15!i was a little scared of the OS's because they are ABN and not ABC construction.So far i like this engine,i think it was worth the 200 bucks i payed for it.

i finally cleaned and straightend out my pit box today.man did i accumulate some junk and broken parts in a year!now it looks empty and weighs less

ttweedle · #20 03-03-2002, 08:27 AM

Well I got my FTGT finally put together! All Im waiting on now is for my Starter Box and Reciever batt to show up in the mail and I can fine tune the servos and EPA's, then its off to breaking in the engine. Oh, I guess I should paint the body too.

Got Speed · #21 03-03-2002, 09:47 AM

Ritchies-How many gallons did you get from your AE.15?

violator757 · #22 03-03-2002, 11:34 AM

mississippi needs to give that poor truck a bath

ross · #24 03-03-2002, 05:03 PM

Has anyone else noticed that the Kimborough spur gears dont seem to fit on the shaft? I bought a 66t one the other day because my other one was bent. It seems has if the hole is too small and so it wont go on.

Has anyone else had this problem or is it just a one off faulty one?

Also... I just have to say Well Done to AE for making such a great truck, Ive had my GT just under 2 months and I cant say a bad thing about it, the thing thats really impresed me is the durability. The other day my neighbour was driving my truck and he went full throttle into a curb and i didnt break a thing. I am very pleased with my truck, looking forward to hopping it up!!!!
