I don't think it was too lean. I adjusted it all the way shut, and three full turns rich. I then turned it until it stopped jerking (even richer).



Do WHATEVER you can, as FAST as you can, to talk to Traxxas about trying to get a NEW engine... The longer you wait, the less chance you have of getting a 'FREE' new engine from them... They are usually very AWESOME when it comes to customer service, and due to the fact that it happened like the first day you got it, your chances are better to get a new one at no charge. If you wait longer, it may lessen your chance, obviously.
