Shock maintenance
After each day of running, you should check your shocks for adequate fluid. If the fluid is low, or it is getting dirty, you should change the fluid in the shocks. To achieve better performance, you may also want to change the shock fluid and or the pistons.

Setting the gear mesh
Gear mesh is the clearance between the pinion and spur in an electric car or clutch bell andspur in a nitro car. It has impact on the vehicles performance. If the gear mesh is not set properly you may also damage the clutch bell and spur or the pinion gear and spur gear as soon as the vehicle starts running.

Egngine adjustment
High end mixture valve
To measure the fuel inflow and provide high end mixture. If screwing it further in. the high end mixture volume will decrease. Once youunscrew it in, the high end mixture volume will increase.

Low end mixture valve
To measure the fuel inflow and provide low end mixture. You are required to adjust low end mixture valve to provide an even process for running your engine from low speed to high speed.

Idle adjustment screw:
To control the air and fuel mixture which flows into the carburetor while the engine froms stalling atan extremely low.

Carburetor inlet
To mix the air and fuek to permit a proper running of your eneçgine.
After attached with an air, it is used to ensure a good proportion.



Take a moment to review the figures on the right to familiarize yourself with the various functions of the engine. Although preset at the factory, some changes in the needle setting can occur during shipping.Engine image is represented for reference only. It may vary from the actual received engine.
The engine includes many high precision parts. Incorrect operation or rash assembly and disassembly will compromise the proper performance of your engine.
Engine break in period

New engines require a break in period to exercise a final adjustment of internal parts after manufacturing. For our models, wehave already perform this procedure before putting them on the market. However, you will use your own engine to drive our models. This procedure is required and must be completed by you. To prevent excessive initial wear on internal engine parts a rich air/glow fuel mixture is required to perform a break in procedure for your engine.

Important notes:
Break-in period 2 and ½ turns from fullclosed position (4-5 tanks of 10-15% fuel / 20%oil content) must be used to perform break in. Please do not run engine full throttle for long periods during break-in. Once break-in procedure has been performed lean out engine to best performance (2 turns to 1 and ½ turns from full closed position) you must always observe a trace amount of oil smoke from exhaust pipe, if you hardly see any smokeplease stop immediately and re-adjust high end mixture valve till smoke is observed.
Always perform high end mixture valve adjustment firstly, and then perform idle adjustment on a warmed-up engine.
Clean-out engine and exhaust system by applying high throttle (3/4 throttle) for 2 seconds after adjustment to permit effectiveness of adjustment to be observed.
It is of normal occurrence during thebreak-in procedure that minuscule particles of metal adhere to the glow element. The particles of metal isolate the glow element and affect overall engine performance.
Lubrication: we highly recommend a premium glow fuel with a synthetic/castor blend of a minimum of 16% and maximum of 20% combined lubricant content.

Starting your engine for the first time
The first start of your engine is themost important time of the engine´s life, dictating how well it will perform. Do not skip the break-in process of a new engine. Without proper break-in procedures, you risk damaging your engine during the first tank of fuel. Your patience during these procedures will be rewarded by an engine that performs reliably and to its maximum power potential. Patient and knowledge are the key for a...
