TANK 4
Lean the high-speed needle another 1/2 turn from "tank 3" setting. Run the truck for the
complete tank and then let it cool down.You should notice the engine running much better
at this point.
TANK 5
Lean the high-speed needle another 1/2 turn from "tank 4" setting.Run the truck for the
complete tank and then let it cool down.The engine is now ready to be performanced tuned.
06
Important! At this point,the engine will likely be running at a faster idle than needed(This
is typical after break-in). Adjust the idle stop screw to lower the idle speed so that the
wheels do not, or just barely, rotate when you lift the truck off the ground.
TUNING TIPS
After break-in,run the truck where you plan to do most of your driving (grass, street, track,
etc).Tune the high speed needle so the engine makes good power without everheating.
Using a temperature gauge, tune the engine so that it will consistently stay under 270 F
(132 C). Keep in mind.RC engines usually take a minute or two to warm up. It is common
not toreach full power right away. Never tune a cold engine!
ENGINE CARE
Never store your truck with fuel in the tank.We recommend that after the final run of the day,
you empty the fuel tank and then run the engine at idle until all the fuel is out of the fuel
lines and engine. Remove of air filter and glow plug. Then place two drops of the After Run
Engine Oil in the carburetor and two into the cylinder to help prevent corrosion.
10 WAYS TO ENSURE LONG LIFE FOR YOUR ENGINE
1.Keep your engine and air filter clean.Dirt will act as insulation on an engine. it will not
be able to shed heat as easily.Clean and re-oil the elenent often.
2.Do not over-lean your engine.
3.Do not run your engine with little or no load.Don't throttle up the engine to full throttle
when the wheels are not in contact with the ground.
4.Do not overheat the engine.
5.Do not use a fuel with a low oil content.Make sure you usea a model car fuel from a re-
-putable manufacturer,such as O'Donnell Fuels.
6.Avoid using old fuels in the engine.
7.Do not use a fuel with a nitromethane(often called niteo) content over 20%.
8.Do not scratch the piston or cylinder sleeve.Avoid jamming something into the exhaust
port when removing or re-installing the clutch or flywheel.Use a special tool called the
Ultimate Flywheel Wrench to keep the crankshaft from moving.
9.Do not use silicone sealer on the engine joints.Silicone sealer contains acetic acid,which
is corrosive if it gets inside your engine.
10.Do not allow any water to get inside the engine.This sounds easy,but temperature cha-
-nges can cause condensation inside the engine.This is a good reason to use an after-run
oil.Store your engine inside the house,not in a garage or shed where will be temperature
extremes.
