The Rampage MT is my first 1/5 scale gas car I have bought. I am using the Castor 927 oil and for the break in, I mixed the oil to gas at 20:1 per the instructions in the manual. I went through a total of 6 heat cycles (roughly 20-25 minutes, going through a half tank of fuel each time) with no issues at all. I then did two heat cycles where I did go up to full throttle for straight runs.
Now that all of that is complete, I fueld it up and started to just drive normal (a little harder on the truck.) After about 6-7 minutes of driving, I let the truck come to idle and within 20-25 seconds, the motor just stopped on me. I let it cool down and tried to start it and had no luck at all. I did pull the spark plug and replaced it with a NGK CMR7H from Autozone. The car fired up with no issues at all, but again after 6-7 minutes of running, it came to idle and after 20-30 seconds, just turned off (this was the first run on the new spark plug.)
I am still running a 20:1 mix to go through the entire first gallon of gas....... I am not sure what to do to try to fix this issue? Can someone please help me out.... should I maybe go to a 28:1 mix or a 30:1 mix? Should I adjust the high end? Low end? Idle? Any advice in troubleshooting this issue would be greatly appreciated
