its about half way i reckon,when i first got it i let it idle for half a tank and then tried running it around up and down the drive way but it kept stalling so i have just been outside today and ran a tank through it on idle, it seemed a bit more responsive but still stalled, so ill run another couple of tanks through it just to make sure

Thanks Buddy any help would be greatly appreciated. ill put a few more tanks through and try get it sorted out myself, in regard to the tuning ill do my best, i dont really want to take it to the hobby shop, if all else fails ill bring it with me just to look good and ill let one of u guy's work your magic on it. cant wait to cruise around the circuit with other Big Boy's Toys. how many MT's usually turn up on a given weekend?
feel free to keep the post going, maybe post a pic of ur Truck, a Vid would be killer

If you want insane power for around 200 bucks pm me. Ill sort you out. if you wanna race you should look at a set of 40 series as well. Best investment a newbie can make!! Stick your head into the shop this friday and ill make sure your beast is all tuned and ready to go on sunday!!
