I had burned two 270's before I bought the RTR 8. My 8's 270 lasted almost 4 tanks of fuel at break in before it just quit. I think I have been lucky, cause I put an Air 94357 in and had no problems. A few gallons later I found this website and the only things I did were: (1) check alignment of throttle linkage (I automatically do this on any vehicle), and (2) made sure there was still a few mm of carb travel after the servo is at wide open.
Like I said I have been lucky. I am at 6 gallons of fuel with the stock motor, but everything else has been upgraded. Good Luck. I love this thing.
