PLEASE Tell me your LHS isnt Hobby People?!!!? Dont let them charge you that much money. Go to a rc track and they will help you for free, and they kow much more than any hobby shop! ARC in Temecula is closest.

Nope your not screwed cuz you bought a redcat. lol. but almost.

Anyway just turn up the trottle trim a bit on the control so the engine is running as quick as possible without moving, then take out the glow charger.
Also make sure you are running rich for break in.

Man, I swear you work for Redcat in some way!!! And runninh really rich is bad for breakin, not good. The engine needs to be 200-220 for breakin, no more no less.
