Default Tuning tips?

Anyone have any tips to get the bog out of the bottom end of my engine?

It's an LRP Z.28R Spec 3 in an Associated MGT. I have the high end figured out and it flies but it bogs pretty badly when coming off of idle. I tried leaning it out ~1/8-1/4 of a turn on the low/mid needle and it started not being able to hold an idle, went the other direction and the bogging just got even worse.

I am running 20% Traxxas Top Fuel with the stock gearing, and as I said earlier, once it is moving it just flies, but down low it is just annoying.

I have about a gallon on the engine, it still has an insane amount of pinch, and when I take the temp it hovers around the 210 degree range.


Any help is appreciated.
