Ok so I got my new mill installed. Almost done with the break in procedure. First question: At idle the rig idles really fast, I've adjusted the idle speed down as low as it will go and stay running. For some reason it wont idle in neutral. It speeds up and wants to take off. I haven't adjusted any clutch on this rig. The old mill before it gave up would idle and the car wouldn't try to take off. I haven't adjusted LSN. I adjusted the HSN due to some issues being hard to start. HSN is at 4 1/2 turns out and the LSN is at factory specs. I do see a nice steady stream of blue smoke while at 1/4 throttle. I stopped on the last tank of break in procedure. This thing is pretty fast. I live in a court so I dont really have the room to go WOT for the last tank. Do I have to do the break in procedure all at once or am I ok doing a little at a time?

Second question: Throttle servo keep twitching. While at idle or while running it'll blip the throttle as I'm applying brakes. Any Ideas?

Back to the throttle servo I notice with the rig off and the servos powered up, the carb is open about 5%. Rig off and power off throttle is at rest.
 
It sounds as though the trim on your T/B servo isn't adjusted properly because the slide on the card should be resting on the screw that adjusts the idle but if its 5% open then thats a bit too much. As for the servo is it glitching back and forth or once in a awhile because it can only be two things if its twitching and that is low RX battery or radio interference.
 
i do have the throttle trim on the max retard setting just trying to compinsate for this issue. I'll take it apart and try to adjust it later tonight.
