Hi guys
I am new to nitro but not rc cars. Bought this new savage xl gtxl-6 and did run-in by manual but motor lost compression after 6 tanks. So I bought a LRP .32 spec 4 motor and did run-in by manual (8 tanks) and 4 tanks tuned for performance. While acceleration is decent and top speed is 72 km/h, this truck will not pop a wheelie. Comparing to electric traxxases I used to run this car is boring. LRP claims 4.37 hp and "torque you can bearly handle" and it cant lift the front wheels. The stock engine could not either. Am I expecting to much of nitro??
Since 16% nitro is all we can buy in europe - this is what I run.
Also it will not change to 3 gear under full throttle. No problem on partial throttle
