alright, i got my car yesterday and it started up just fine. i drove it around a bit, but it seemed off. it was real sluggish on the low end, but fine on the high end, so i went back in and set my low and high speed needle to traxxas' factory settings and today it was so rich it didnt even run and it was spittting unburnt nitro out the pipe. keep in mind it it about 90* and a good 80% humidity. So i leaned the low speed needle about 1 turn and it started up, but the high end seemed sluggish now, so i leaned that about 3/4 turn and everything is pretty good. it smokes out the pipe and runs at about 200* F... but is this still too rich? shouldnt it be running a bit hotter?
also, my idle is really really high, almpst to the point that it tries to move away of i let it go on flat ground. i tried adjusting the idle screw but it didnt seem to effect anything, i had to have turned it at least 5 turns each way with no audible decrease in the idle. so which way am i supposed to turn it?
thanks for the help!
