RE: breaking in a new engine??
Hey, I am a beginner also with a Tornado BB. Below I am posting links to videos that I have found to be best for the break-in and tuning of your rc. Also, I have a thing to input myself. On the break-in manual at RedCat, they say the proper settings are a 1mm opening in the carb, snug clockwise - then counter 3 full truns on the high speed, then on the low spped, snug shut the out until it is even with the silver jacket around it. I belive that RedCat's suggestions should be perfect, definately coming from the manufactorer themselves.
