RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
cause when you hit the brake if the carbs setting it too small it will stop the engine.
The trim doesn't take that into account.
Hell that is how I though when I got my 1st nitro and was wondering why the engine kept dying when I hit the brakes. Turns out my carbs gap was too small, and when I stopped the carb would close completely.
So yes in a way it would cause other problems seeing you would be sitting there getting frustrated at the engine thinking you did it right.
