Who makes it and did you do a break in at all.
Okay I just looked it up and the pictures I see there's no air filter! Does yours have an air filter? Also did it not come with manual?

I don't think anyone knows of that brand very well, I searched and can't find anything.

I've never heard of the brand it's turning out to be a nightmare I can get it running and sort of idling but the revs hold up for a second after I let of the throttle but I richer it up a little more and no difference ?

When I seem to Richen the low end up It helps a little I thort this is what it needed maybe I'm going the wrong way with my tuning
Just make sure you get rid of that crappy filter unless the rc is just sitting on the shelf. When running, use a foam filter such as the motor saver style.

Alpine is right! Get a dual stage foam filter for it.
