Friend bought a HPI RS4
He purchased a used RS4, and when we got went to look at it, it looked brand spanking new. Even the engine did not have a speck of dirt. Anyways, apparently the engine had been broken in already. We get it home, and it runs like garbage. I suspect it has never been broken in at all. So, now I would like to put the needles to the stock positions and start a break in process. Thing is, I don't think it's the stock RTR engine. It's says NEO on it, and that's it. Here are some pictures. Maybe someone can help me out.

RE: Friend bought a HPI RS4
sart from 2 turns and keep testing till you find the proper setting. Low speed needle is the most important. Try to adjust it so that the car idles perfectly but no longer than 2-3 minutes (it should flame out by then).
