Tsunami Ultrawide problems..
I am new to the nitro rc world and just purchased a brand new tsunami ultrawide from redcat racing. Today i cranked my rc to perform the break-in process and noticed that the engine runs wide open. I removed the air filter to check and see if there was an 1mm opening in the carburetor as stated on the redcat quick start guide. While looking in the carburetor I noticed that it was stuck wide open and even when i applied the brake to try and close it, it would not close. If anyone has any information on how I could go about fixing this please let me know.
Thanks and I look forward to using this fourm
