Finaly got my rs4 evo+ today now i have a ?
well i finally got my hpi rs4 evo+ today but still havent done the break in. It was just way to hot to even want to go outside. so hopefully tomorrow is abit cooler. i ended up spending 540 for everything, 4 gallons of fuel, 5 glow plugs, temp gun charger, batt packs, 12 rechargable batts and more. not 2 bad since i didnt own not a single thing for rc so 540 wasnt all that bad.
im confused about the low speed needle because the manual does not speak of it at all. all it meantions is the high speed needle. im also confused about this book oncei start the car for the first time am i supossed to adjust the idle so the itres DO NOT spin. the book shows on 1 tank break in. the tires spinning on a block.

Run the car just like the manual says( i read it on HPI's site)...When the car is on the block, the tires might spin, but not very fast. When you put it on the ground to drive it on the second and third tanks, it will be fine. Don't mess with the low speed screw for mixture. If anything, you can adjust the idle speed using the small screw for the carb opening.

i didnt touch any of the screws the low speed is Flush and the high speed is flush. thats the way they came.
i havent touched anything on the car. all i did so far was locktite all the screws.

HPI
Remove the glow plug, turn the car upside down, let the fuel run out of the engine
Spin the engine over just a couple of times without the glow plug in.
Replace the glow plug, and it should start.
When the enigne is locked up due to fuel, a rotor start will break the rod.

one little helpful hint....when starting the car, always start in against your foot, in case you forgot to turn on the transmitter. Also, always check the operation of the servo's before you start it up.
