My new 72" 3DHS Extra 330

I think he means check your throttle pushrod/linkage for problems.

They look fine to me..I double check it all one I put my engine back on

Was this the engine that was in your slick when you crashed it? If so check and see if the throttle mechanism inside the carburetor (The bar that holds the butterfly) is broke or stripped.

Ya it's the same engine from when my slick crashed, I checked the throttle mechanism earlier and it looked fine to me. I also just did a range check and was about 40 paces away when I lost connection.

I don't know. It just seems weird that the throttle is the only thing affected. Can you find a different receiver to try? I can't think of anything else to try.

I'm gonna get a new receiver

I just started up my extra and it worked fine. Then I cut the throttle and the restarted the engine again. The second time I ran the engine I got like no response when I gave it power..

And the servo and throttle arm move just fine? It sounds almost like your low-end needle isn't correctly tuned. Check out this article by Jim:

Granted, the only engines I've ever tuned have been in leaf blowers and chain saws, but they work the exact same way. If you don't get good throttle response, especially on a warm engine, it's most likely the low-end needle that's out of tune.

Rc girl, can you move your throttle connector to a different channel on your rx, and see if you have throttle control that way? Ir try a new rx? Forgive me if i missed where you have done this already. Ive seen a fer rx have a problem in one channel or two before but still work.

I can't move it to a different channel cuz I don't think my dx6i can do that

Just plug it into any other channel on the Rx, then move the corresponding stick for that channel.
