HPI MT2 Problem .. i think
 
Hello, i just bought my MT2 - HPI yesterday (great truck by the way) I'm at the break in stage, and when i press full throttle the carb should open yes? but for some reason it opens in a big crescent shape - so its open and i can see that rod but its in a big crescent shape...is this a problem? its a big opening but like 1/4 is not opening - what shall i do if i need to. Oh yes i nearly forgot err... when breaking it in the wheels should spin right? and if so how much - should it be really fast or normal speed. My truck made a REALLY fast rpm all of a sudden as i was toggling the idle speed. I have made it less now and wandering whether i need to do any more. I have put it to normal settings i.e. twist fast needle all the way clockwise then 3 turns counter. the slow end needle is sitting flush with the carb body so thats fine. I'm just wandering if the sound is OK and it should be pretty loud also its not spitting any oil, I'm going to try it again with wheels moving and see if theres any oil .. and how do i make the wheels spin by them selfs - is it the idle screw? thanks for any help in advance. I am very much a newbie at this and would defiantly need some help. Thank you. :D
