RC Car help

[FakeSnake]

I know there are a few RC Nitro nuts here

Help!

I have just purchased my 1st nitro car, a HPI MT2. I have followed the instructions, and I cannot get the damn thing to run in!
It idles for about 30secs then stalls.

I even watched the DVD that came with it (SAD I know!) but that does not help.. perhaps I should have bought an electric one...

SOMEONE please help me!

How is it idleing? (fast/slow blah)

Try leaning out your HSN (high speed needle) 1/8th of a turn, it should get it to idle fine.
Engine often stall dureing break in useing the idle meathod, due to the richness of the fuel going in, but it is needed.

Just have some patience really.

well.. fast/slow... put it this way, the wheels dont turn..

HSN, thats the one on the top

Ta muchly for the advice, any one else got insights?

Anyone got any opinions on the car?


Stratos: will post pics tomorrow PM, will be out in the morning on a 4x4 training jolly.
edit: I purchased it from a local model shop here in Exeter, bit of an impulse buy tbh

Wheels not turning is good.

Ive never used an MT2 so I cant comment, I have a highy hopped up Savage

Where abouts are you?
The Savage is the next model up to the one I have right?
