Hi everyone! I just purchased a MGT 4.60 and have tuned it in according to the instructions but I'm still having some problems with the truck. When I start the truck, I squeeze the primer bulb and use the hex drive. Usually the truck won't start unless I squeeze the primer bulb as the drill is turning. After running the truck for about 10 minutes, the truck starts making a real high pitched sound and will not idle without moving. If I pick the truck up with the handle bar, it will just keep speeding up without using the transmitter. When I hit the breaks on the transmitter, it will go back to idling. The truck is also running at a very high temperature over 300 degrees. All batteries are fully charged and giow plug is new. I have even reset the carborator settings back to the factory settings. The low speed setting is set to 6 1/2, high speed is set to 2 1/2 and the idle speed is set to .5 mm. There is a blueish white smoke coming from the exhaust as well as some fuel so it is running slighly rich. At times the truck has problems going into reverse and forward because it is idled too high. If I adjust the idle the truck dies. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to correct these problems?

Thanks!
