Status: offline 		how do i know when im running my engine at its best performance?

i have a traxxas rustler w/ the 2.5, i didnt have a stop watch on me, but it seamed like i had atleast 10-12 minuets for the tank and i had a good amount of smoke commin out, it wasnt spitting out alot of oil as if it was rich, i had enough power to do burnouts and baloon my tire doing burnouts. i have a bit of a brown coloration on my glow plug. my idle seems to be a bit off though, not by much, donst sound right. how can i check my idle setting is right?

Status: offline 		wow thats helpful generaly your going to just want to tune that engine so it actually stays running. the trx is so sensitive. ill try to lean mine out just a little for a little more performance and it will overheat . just make sure you have plenty of smoke from the exhaust and it doesnt sound spluttery or anything.

Status: offline 		i find when my cars tuned well, is when i have no tyres left by the end of the tank

naaaa, you should really notice the power difference but normally, depending what engine you
have but i lean it out till it starts to starve for fuel at high speeds than i richen it about quarter
a turn.
And i find that that's the best i can get my 12.CV-R
