Default help with my OS vpec/losi 8ight

in the process of dropping in Os into my losi 8ight

I just purchased on OS vspec EB MODS from Tower, it is my first vspec I have owned few OS 18 tms, picco .26 max, and a ninja, the question I have is the LSN needle in the carb does retract when I open the carb? I have never seen this before is this normal?

also the engine came set up for 30% nitro I removed one shim to run 20% is this right? and will it perform ok with 20%

thanks

Mike

here is a pic with the carb open all the way, look at the lsn

Yep, mine is like that too.

I also have the EB Mod V-spec in my 8ight. It's an awesome combo:

It should work fine for you, but if i were you i would run 30% in that eninge. The engine will run much better on it, and there is no point spending that much on an engine if your not going to bring it's full potential out.

Run 30%! Its only a few dollars more, and so worth it. Bring that monster to life.

Unless your sitting on a bunch of 20% now.
