Default New to nitro rc, help please

I got a shockwave for my son, we can't seem to get it to idle correctly. It keeps spinning the tires. On the ground it takes off at idle. We have about a 1mm opening on carb. Any less opening and it dies when the brake is applied. So far we have done the break in with this problem. I think its running rich enough not to destroy the engine. Is this a clutch spring problem or do I not have the carb set correctly. The high needly is about 2 turns out, the low speed needle is flush with the collar. This is absolutly a fun hobby, I would like to get myself one but I would like to get his going good before I start working on 2 of them. He is 8 so I have to supervise quiet a bit but he loves it, so any help would be great. Thanks
