all the rc nitro websites hpi ect ect thay tell you how to set the high and low and idle but nothing about if the carb idle is set at 2mm first or fully closed before the low speed needle is set to default

First thing you need to do is set your high speed needle. The high speed needle setting will affect your low speed settings. Do all your carb tuning on a engine that is up to operating temperature. DO NOT TUNE A COLD ENGINE!

You want to set your idle speed so it doesn't engage the clutch, but not so low that it's going to die if you look at it funny.

You can make all your LSN setting at idle. Do it only an 1/8th of a turn at a time, drive around for a few mins and then adjust it again. Enjoy!
