Stalling engine when throttle not being applied

[rccar new]

My hsp 94108 runs nicely with the perfect amount of smoke and passes the spit test, but when I stop using the throttle to let it idle it dies out after 5 seconds.

Maybe lsn a bit too rich or screw in the idle screw

sounds like its loading up. lean it a 1/8th turn. Or open the idle up some more with throttle trim.

I agree that raising the idle would help, but doing so with throttle trim is only useful for starting it, it'll still stall whenever you brake because the throttle will close off beyond the trim point. The idle should always be set via the idle screw on the carb.

Ok I have gotten it to the point where it can idle for ever !
