    Status: offline     		Hi,

    My brother has a brand new Cen CT5 that he has never used it has been sitting on the shelf and now his kids want to play with it. I have no experience with RC and since my brother is serving in Afghanistan he is gone for an indefinite amount of time. I want to get this RC car running for his kids to i took it to a local hobby shop. I purchased 20% Byron Race fuel Gen2 and got a Hobbico Hot Shot 2 as recommended by the guys in the store. I asked them if they could start it up for me since i didn't know what was required so the sales guy was gracious enough to spend a while to start it up and he told me since it is new it needs to be broken in. But the problem was every time he started it up i had to hold the throttle 1/4 open so it would get air and as soon as i closed the throttle it would die even though the idle and all the adjustments were in the right setting. I'm baffled and he who has 20 years of experience told me to come back tomorrow so he can think about it. This car means a lot to these kids and I don't want to let them down. I'm heading back over there again around 11am. If you can please give me some pointers so i can give him that would be great.


    Thanks
