Okay, I know this is probably a well beaten topic, but I have had no luck finding it. I have a NEW .15 Nitro Buggy. Unfortunately , this is an import and I'm a bit rusty on my Chinese. Can anyone please give me some tips without the associated ribbing that seems to come with these posts?
Thanks in advance,
Otis

Just let the engine idle rich for 2 tanks(wheels off the ground), drive around going from idle to 1/4 throttle on tank 3, 1/2 on tank 4, 3/4 on tank5, and briefly to full on tank 6, let the engine cool for 10 min in between tanks, on tank 7 start leaning the HSN 1/8 of a turn at a time till you get some good power, make sure you do a few laps in between adjustments. When the hsn is tuned properly , you should be able to hold WOT and the engine should not bog , next tune the LSN by pinching the fuel line near the carb, if the engine dies within 3-5 seconds your good, less than3 is too lean and more than 5 is too rich, a good temp range is 220F-250F
