New to nitro, need a little help...
 
Just dropped a new .21 Novarossi Beat in my XB8.

The motor didn't come with an instruction sheet, but found one online. I didn't really find anything regarding needle settings during break-in.

Question: Can someone please tell me what is a good base-line setting for break-in? Also once I get a few tanks through it, would is a good base setting to start tuning?

The carb came from the factory with a white insert in it, is this good to keep in during break in or should it be taken out?

Thanks for any help! Much appreciated.

Start with MAIN needle 1.5 to 2 turns open.

Once you are run in, set the MAIN needle first and then the mid/low and finally the throttle stop to the correct idle speed.
