hey guys and gals. i registered with RCNitro Talk yesterday but have been reading the threads for the last month or so. i never had to register because all the questions i had, had been asked and answered in the past. but i have finished breaking in my car and have one question.
i have a Thunder tiger EB4 RTR. at first the car was really girky at idle and it used to stall when i applied full brakes. after expert advice from RC Nitro talk :smoke: i solved that probelm and it is running great.
i tried the pinch test last night and the car died after 2 secs. from what i read it should die between 3-4 secs so i adjusted the LSN so that it died just after 3 secs. the car starts and runs fine but when at idle it doesn't sound as stable as when the LSN was at its previous setting (when it died after 2 secs on the pinch test).
My local model shop doesn't sell temp guns :boxing: so i have one arrivng on Monday from Scotland somewhere. i'm waiting to set the HSN properly but i have nice stream of blue smoke at WOT for now so i think i'm not cooking the engine, plus the HSN is at just over 2 3/4 turns out.
Anyway, back to my question....will i harm the engine by having the LSN a little lean so that it stalls after 2 secs on the pinch test? the only reason i ask it that is sounds a little sweeter. i am still new to the game as i only have 3 weeks experience with nitro cars so i am confident that the veteran members of RC Nitro Talk will come to my rescue. :thumbup:
