Oh yah.. I am really having trouble setting up the little engine.. currently I am running it rich.. as there is good smoke coming out the exhaust during runs. Il try to adjust the HSN to lessen the amount of smoke until it reaches around 75 - 80% throttle.. cannot seem to get that point yet.. having trouble with the gearbox also.. kept stripping the small bevel gear... had replaced the gearbox 4 times already.. and the metal gears seem to last short... I Think ill go back to the plastic ones. it kinda last longer... the metal gears gets really hot after a 7 - 8 min run.. and it gets worn out sharp.. like the teeth were sharpen... I guess speed is not what this buggy wants....
