(Newbee)i have recently purchased a Losi DBXL.i have followed the instructions carefully.i was running the car gently gor ten mins,when it cut out,i managed to restart it,but then when i eased the trigger in it stalled time after time.i don't want to touch the mixture screws at this point as the manual says it will damage the engine on break in.any help or pointers would be appreciated.cheers.

If it won't run you got to do what it says not to do
Don't worry every DBXL ever made has done the same thing
The carb is loose and sucking air between it and the motor or it's the mixture settings
Check the carb to be sure it's tight and that the hole is not covered up by the gasket that it gets pulse from to pump fuel I'd just tighten the carb bolts first to see if that fixes it first
Then lean out the low speed the idle will pick up so don't be afraid when it does this
Just get it to idle faster
Then do the same on the high needle but this one you will have to run it to tell how you did
Just lean it till it runs without sputtering and leave it alone
