I suggested setting the idle gap first and then tuning from there. Of course Roleof shit all over my advice because he is some sort of nitro engine guru. The method of setting the idle gap first has worked well for me and is even suggested by JQ in one of his “how to tune a nitro engine videos” on YouTube. I guess JQ is just an idiot and can’t tune a nitro engine. He’s probably killing nitro engines left and right because of setting the idle gap first. Roleof gives great advice like suggesting that you don’t set your idle gap first and that you just gotta listen to the engine and tune the needles. That’s fricken great if you’ve been running nitro for years and can do that. New guys need a starting point. Setting an idle gap that is very close is a good place to start in my opinion. After setting that idle gap you can tune the LSN to make a good idle. From there it’s as easy as tuning the HSN for good overall performance. Of course after going through this process you may need to go back and tweak the idle gap or LSN but it will get you very close. Now I’m sure Roleof will give some genius advice like to never tune the way I suggested and to just listen to what the engine is saying. Hell, if everyone just knew to “listen to what the engine is saying” we would all have perfect running nitro engines!
