RE: idol problem
turning the idle to the right increases RPM. You may need to adjust your throttle/brake linkage so that when centered it is slightly holding on the brakes.
also, it is spelled "Idle" lol

RE: idol problem
Turning the screw to the right (clockwise) increases the idle.
Pull the air filter off and look down the carb throat, squeeze the carb slide all the way shutand adjust the idle screw so that there is only a 1mm - 1.5mm gap. That should help. Another thing it could be is that you're not tuned in quite right yet. Go to Traxxas.com and look under support in the Knoweledge Central are and there you can find the stock carb settings and instructions on how to tune for performance.
