Fantastic video. I think I have my tune pretty good on my OS B2103, but it likes to drink a little too much fuel overall. I'm hesitant to lean it up, but in a more controlled table-top environment like this, I may try to optimize it. I live in the Phoenix area, and it is HOT! Running 30% nitro, I have found that a P5 (colder) plug seems to help idle and overall motor consistency vs. the stock P3. However, this probably attributed to the richer running as well. I really like the "hose technique" you're doing. Where did you run it? Does it just run along the floor to a door then to the outside? How long is the hose, and does it affect back-pressure or the tune when taken off?

This is perfect! I struggle with trim. What should that be at on the controller?

16:47 here you have a good tune, the idle drops down after rev and stays, you screw on it afterwards and screw it up. i would test with wheels on the road with the settings at 16:47. when you load the engine it behaves different and wants more fuel than unloaded.

Great stuff.what do u say about the secondary drop in nitro engines..good or bad..?

It is the best video

great video dude, quick question i've got a HPI savage x 4.6, recently built it as it was in storage, the engine seems like its got load of compression. Engine fires up greatly, however i do notice a little bit of tiny tiny bubbles building up and kind of going (disapearing) in the fuel line, is this something to be concerned or do i just drive the thing, its not big blob of bubbles if that makes sense..
