[. . . ] Check the radio throttle/brake functions. With the radio transmitter and receiver on, pull the trigger / push the stick forward. The carburetor should be fully opened and the brake disengaged. To reverse this function, flip the throttle/brake servo reverse switch. The carburetor should be closed to a point where the idle has been set (see step 9 & 10 for settings), and the brake still disengaged. If not, use the throttle/brake trim lever to correct it. Push the trigger / pull the stick backward. The carburetor opening should still be the same at neutral, throttle spring compressed slightly, and the brake engaged. 9 ADJUSTING THROTTLE / BRAKE LINKAGE a b c a. To set the throttle/ brake linkage, first the radio should be on and neutral; thus, the servo is at neutral b. With the servo at neutral, loosen the brake linkage collar and move it to a point where the brake levers still c. position. have 2mm of space before brakes are engaged. With the servo at neutral, use a 1. 5mm hex wrench to set the outer collar next to the plastic lever (servo horn). 10 ADJUSTING CARBURETOR a b c d d e a. To set the high speed needle (large needle sticking out from the carburetor body), turn the screw as pictured. Initial high speed needle setting should be 2. 5 turns (close the needle completely, then back out 2. 5 turns). Clockwise turn will provide leaner setting (lower fuel to air mixture), and counterclockwise turn will provide richer setting (higher fuel to air mixture). To set the carburetor idle (small needle sticking out from the carburetor body), turn the screw as pictured. Initial idle setting should leave 1mm carburetor gap. Clockwise turn will provide higher idle (larger carburetor opening), and counterclockwise turn will provide lower idle (smaller carburetor opening). For more details about the engine setting, please refer to ENGINE BREAK-IN/SETTING procedures to properly set the engine. To set the low speed needle (The low-speed mixture screw is located in the end of the carburetor). This screw controls how much fuel enters the engine at idle and low throttle. This adjustment will smooth the idle and improve the acceleration to mid speed. Make this adjustment with the throttle closed, after setting the idle.
