  • i have a ? if someone has an answer....26 sportwerks motor, i got it under the impression it was broken in...it really wasent...i ran about 2 tanks through it before opening it up...never tuning it...i just recentley found out that it was never tuned..can i tune it now? after running it for so long being rich?

  • @themonti72

    Of course you can. Most nitro engines need to be retuned every time out. This is only for minor adjustments to the high speed needle.

  • the guide isn't for savage Xss and XL

    the guide is good only for s21, s25, F3.5, F4.1, F4.6 engins

    savage X ss and the savage XL have K4.6 K5.9 engines that have the Mid Range Needle that thare isn't in the guide

  • @Guingia91

    I dont know anyone who touches their mid-range needle. If you touch your mid range you pretty much have to retune. In short this video will work and will work on any engine because it teaches you the basics of tuning.

  • @TekshaCM Incorrect. I leave mine alone for months at a time and they run fine. You only need to constantly tinker with them if you chase perfection, and you're an idiot if you try to chase perfection when you're not racing pro level or higher.

  • @TekshaCM thanks....
