How do I properly break in the engine of the HPI Racing Nitro MT2 18SS 12003 Race Kit?

To break in the engine, start by running the vehicle at a rich fuel setting for the first few tanks. Avoid high speeds and allow the engine to cool between runs. Gradually lean out the fuel mixture over subsequent tanks as the engine gains compression.

What fuel should I use for the HPI Racing Nitro MT2 18SS 12003?

Use a high-quality nitro fuel with a 20-25% nitromethane content and a 12-16% oil content for optimal performance and engine longevity.

How can I troubleshoot starting issues with the Nitro MT2 18SS engine?

Check the glow plug for wear, ensure fresh fuel is used, and verify that the fuel lines are clear. Also, confirm that the carburetor settings are correct and the engine receives sufficient air supply.

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the Nitro MT2 18SS?

Perform post-run maintenance after each use, including cleaning the vehicle, checking for loose screws, and inspecting moving parts. Every 10-15 runs, perform a more thorough inspection, including checking the drivetrain and cleaning the air filter.

How do I adjust the carburetor on the Nitro MT2 18SS for optimal performance?
