With an insulated carb like on a race engine - say a Novarossi or OS buggy/truggy engine - OR the LRP ZR30.X - idle is far more stable, and not so nuch adjusting is required.. (of course if you live somewhere with wildly changing outdoor temps that could be a bit different...). With a lesser engine for ex. changing a body can be a bit rushed, so it doesn't cut out.. With the ZR.30X I can take my time.

You still need to have a good setup and half a clue about what you're doing, but an LRP ZR.30X or Picco for ex. make a big difference. The power too is nuts...
