Brand new 601 noiseless overheats on default settings

Hey so i just got my brand new bitaxe in the mail.

Fired it up, configured it on the eusolo pool and thought huh why is it not going above 950Th/s so i checked the settings and found out that Freq is at 425(custom) and core voltage is on 1050(custom). Wasn't overheating at this point.

So i thought let's put the freq at default (525) and core on (1150), saved, restart and then it started overheating and then it rebooted and reverted back to the 425 and 1050 setting?

Why is it reverting back automatically? i ordered from cryptoken.nl and specifically the noiseless version with the Noctua cause why not. is this normal or do i have a defective one?

Thanks!

Ftx Zorro nitro servo replacement

Hi! Finally got my Zorro tuned up correctly (i'm a beginner).

1 hour later my throttle servo broke, i have another servo laying around from another robotics project. A MG996R 180 i believe. Can i just drop that in or would i break something? It's slightly larger but just by a margin.

Otherwise i'll have to order another servo but these standards ones break so easily so rather not buy the same one

Ftx Zorro questions

My new FTX Zorro Nitro wouldn't start at first, so i went to my local hobby shop. They gave me a base tune for the breakin period, and i read online to do a light break in for about 5 runs so i did (shop told me not to idle it a full tank for the first tank) so i just drove slightly and a little harder by every tank.

Now after roughly 10 tanks, it won't hold an idle well. When i remove the glow starter the engine stops immediately (not always). It runs fine if I keep giving it a little gas. But for example if i brake heavily or turn sharply it just shuts off.

Following the shop's advice for the bad idle, i adjusted the idle screw, which made the idle okayish. However unburned nitro is then spitting out of the exhaust, the engine was running quite hot too around 120°C / 248°F with an outside temperature of 32°C / 90°F, and the exhaust wasn't producing much smoke too.

I replaced the glow plug with a Fastrax Platinum 4 and turned the High-Speed Needle (HSN) in/out by 1/4 turn. That caused a heavy amount of nitro to spit from the exhaust.

I have new O.S. 8 glow plugs on the way just to be sure it's not that.

Just checked in a hotel are these signs of bedbugs?

We moved rooms either way, got a clean room now. Just want to make sure we did the right thing!
