Reverse gear for nitro

[Johnboy]

Hi all

Sorry total newbie to Nitro, [:I] I have a TGS-R Nitro and did not realize that it would not have a reverse gear like on my TT-01. [:I] Is it possible to add reverse gear to a TGS-R or do i need to learn how to drive it better.

Secondly is it normal for a large amount of fuel to come from the exhaust, i.e fuel tracks on the ground everywhere its has run, and puddles of fuel on ground if I leave it idling for a couple of minutes.

Cheers

Johnboy

i dont know anything about nitro....but in my mind i wouldnt want fuel coming from my exhaust or leaking when idling....i hope someone can help you out......i know what youre goin through

reverse-theres no need for it, it decreases your peformence by adding rotational weight

fuel from exaust- your mixture needles are to rich, you have to lean it more

Learn to drive better

no real room to put a reverse module or the reverse gears into it.

if you are still running it in, a lot of fuel may come out, but after that start to tune it, and lean it out a bit, it shouldnt spurt out that much fuel at all.

its not really a huge issues, just a bit oily thats all

there will always be a little bit of fuel etc coming out over the car

Don't lean it too much - no more than quarter of a turn in, since the thread on the carb on the car you have is quite coarse. It might be the fuel you're using though - these cars chuck out a lot of oil if you're using Quickfire16 in them but a lot less on something like Duraglow16.

Cheers for the answers tried duraglow fuel now and set a bit leaner and the fuel loss is less.

Many thanks

The QuikFire contains pretty much castor oil witch will make the exhaust drip with oily residue...I haven't tried duraglow bu tI think I heard that it contains alot more syntectic oil witch burns better with the fuel, IMO castor oil is a complete waste of time and money...
