ok here it goes.20%nitro 16 oil content. irun bryons race fuel.get mc9 glow plugs.make sure all your needles are set to factory.4 1/2 out for the hsn. mid just flush it with the housing and don't touch it again.lsn 3 to 3 1/2 from flush. do the break in by the book. after breakin start to tune for power (oh adjust your idel so that the slide is right around a 1/16' inch from closed.now back to tuning it for power turn in your hsn a 1/16 turn in at a time.don't over do it. do you have a temp gun??? if not stop and buy one.befor you break it in.i run mine between 250 and 280 in temps.after you get to the point were your happy with temps and power you can start to tune your lsn for throtle responce.like i said little turns at a time. and by the way allways do this adjusting when you are up to temp.never cold.and most inportant. take you time don't rush it.oh and were a glove for the break in or you will tear up your kunkles on the heat sink...hope this helps.....zandor ps ditch the sterring servo its junk pick up a hitec 645 mg servo....

for got the most inportent thing tear apart buggy and locktite the blue stuff to any thing that is metal to metal. diff cups are a must to do.

Also, while breaking it in, just let it idle for the first couple of tanks, giving it short bursts on the throttle to prevent oil build up.
after that, do what Zandor said, with the leaning out for power. (not to lean or hot! temp gun is a must)
Just drive it slow for a couple of additional tanks, giving it light throttle bursts.
PS. get a fail safe and or a throttle return spring. You don't want to lose that new buggy....goodluck and welcome to the world of nitro.
