Re: Is it possible to do burnouts w/ a 4wd nitro car?

adjusting idle speed should never be messed with.

If the car runs, and doesn't die... leave it

He's talking about riching it up, in a sense you should as the air is more dense.

Look around your car, see where the fuel line enters the carb? there's a needle there. That's the needle you should be touching. this is called the High Speed needle (or HSN) it adjust the fuel ratio when in the higher RPM's. But, i remember you saying you're just out of break in.. The cars still rich and fine to run that way in cold weather. Personally I don't change tune for temp. I only change tune if it sounds out of tune. If it sounds rich, i lean it, if it sounds lean.. i richin it.


Put your idle back where it was, leave that alone. Don't touch it. That doesn't effect the tune or fuel to air ratio, it simply adjusts what RPM you want the engine to idle at. Adjust it so that the car stays running while breaking but also adjust it so that the wheel don't move when the car is lifted up.

hope i helped
