Default !!!!!!!!!!!!!HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Earlier today I ran my maxx into a curb on my street and broke the motor mount. Went to the lhs and bought a new one and installed it.

Started up the truck and found out that it was extremely rich. So I started to lean it out, flooded engine, cleared engine, and did this about 6 times. After about a needle adjustment of 4 whole turns lean, I decided that something is extremely messed up with the high speed needle. So, I went to the Traxxas website to see the factory settings for the engine. It said that the factory settings were 4 turns out from closed. So, I closed the needle and turned it out 4 turns.

Started the engine up and found that the engine is now extremely lean, to the point of a ear-drum shattering scream.

I have no clue as to what is wrong with the engine. I am guessing that something is wrong with the high speed needle, but I can't pinpoint it. Does anybody know what could be the problem?
