slow acceleration
My satsuma has a very slow acceleration it goes from 0-100 km/h in 18 seconds and can't go trough 150km/h but a few days before it went from 0-100 km/h in 7 seconds and the top speed was 180km/h
I think that is an electric problem

Have you checked the sparkplugs.

try adding nitrous to help it go quicker also, another thing is dont use the racing flywheel. your engine will over rev

Neither of this is true.

Nitro will help you max out the gears easier if properly tuned but that means adjusting the spark timing which causes you to actually lose power when the nitro is off.

as for the flywheel.. you are completly fine unless you drive like an idiot
downshift at 8k :~~~~DDDDDD

Is your windshield broken and removed?

Windshield / Headgasket / Crankshaft can be the issue.

you need to tune your distributor

There's probably one or more worn parts.

My money's on the gearbox.
Rick Dec 12, 2018 @ 11:31pm 
When the gearbox is damaged or worn it'll just jump out of gears or miss gears completely, it won't accelerate slow. And the gearstick would shake violently

If your gearbox isn't damaged it's your gear ratio I recommend the best is the last option on the list
mine kinda accelerates in steps, like, the throttle doesn't work

Sounds like a worn out fuel pump.
