My .18 TM
 
I just installed the .18 TM and I want some advice for it, I have only got 2 tank's throuh it so far, going to finish breaking it in tommorow. My main question, it's about 40 out, give or take a little, I havent touched the setting's still at factory setting's. After I break it in, what kind of tuning do I need to do to get max performance?

RE: My .18 TM
 
With any model engine, as you break it in, you lean the high-speed needle to the point where the engine's running on the rich side of peak RPM. When you accelerate on a long straightaway, the engine should climb in RPM and hold. It should not climb in RPM and then sag back down. You adjust the idle mixture to give you a good idle and decent acceleration. The engine shoud not slow down or quit if the car's sitting still and you apply the brake.
