RE: nitro engine question

You need to adjust the idle with the idle needle and you have to make sure the carb is always open (around 1mm) even with brakes on.

RE: nitro engine question

the idle needle is the low speed needle right?

No, this is the idle screw:

+1
More detail-
Take off air cleaner turn on radio and look in carb.
Start turning in the idle screw on the carb until you can hit the brakes without the carb slide moving closed.
ALWAYS set your idle mechanically on the carb.
Never do the final settings on your remote.
