Good evening, I own a 30-4049-1 blue comet RTR set that has "quirks." The quirks are that it is running very erratically at slow speeds, doesn't smoke in forward or reverse, and doesn't chuff, (I don't know if it chuffed in the first place, but I would think so.) Your thoughts are appreciated.

Your engine is not receiving a tach signal.  So either the tach reader is bad, the stripe is bad, the gap is bad, the wiring in the engine is bad, the wiring in the tether is bad, or the Power Supply has a bad speed control chip.  You can see if the 3 wires to the tach reader are connected and the cleanliness and gap of the read.  After that the trouble shooting is a little more involved unless you understand how the engine is wired.  G
