HPI Racing Nitro MT2 12002 Instruction Manual

To break in the engine, start by running the engine at idle for a full tank. Then, gradually increase the throttle in subsequent tanks, ensuring not to overheat the engine. Use a rich fuel mix to ensure sufficient lubrication.
Check the glow plug to ensure it's functioning. Verify the fuel lines for obstructions and ensure the carburetor settings are correct. Inspect the pull-starter mechanism and ensure fuel is reaching the engine.
Begin by setting the high-speed needle to factory settings. Adjust the low-speed needle for smooth idling. Fine-tune the high-speed needle for maximum speed without overheating. Always make minor adjustments and test after each change.
Regularly check the differential for wear and tear. Clean and re-grease the gears every few runs to ensure smooth operation. Replace any damaged parts immediately to prevent further damage.
Ensure that the shift point is correctly adjusted. Check the transmission for any blockages or damage. Inspect the shift mechanism for proper operation and make sure the clutch is engaging properly.
After running, clean the vehicle thoroughly and remove any fuel from the tank. Store it in a cool, dry place. Use after-run oil in the engine to prevent corrosion, and disconnect the battery if not in use for extended periods.
Check the servo for power and proper function. Inspect the steering linkage for any obstructions or damage. Adjust the trim settings on the transmitter and ensure the wheels are aligned correctly.
Adjust the suspension settings to suit the terrain. Use stiffer springs for better handling on rough terrains and softer springs for smoother surfaces. Adjust the tire pressure and choose appropriate tires for different surfaces.
Signs include slipping during acceleration, unusual noises, or a burning smell. Inspect the clutch shoes and springs for wear and replace them if they appear worn out or damaged.
Check the fuel mixture; it may be too lean. Inspect the fuel lines for blockages and ensure the air filter is clean. Verify the carburetor tuning and adjust the high-speed needle if necessary.
