I just bought a HPI Trophy 3.5 and I can't get the engine to run long enough to break it in. Heck, I'll be lucky if I can get it to start at all. This is my first nitro buggy but I have owned electric cars for years. I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. The altitude is about 4500 ft and the average temp this week was 55F.
I have a brand new Igniter and battery, new gallon of 20% fuel, Carburetor has been oiled and I preheat the engine with a blow dryer. I have not touched the carb needles and have been following various other forums methods to start a new engine. However, none of these forums discuss starting and breaking in the engine at higher altitudes.
I have sent a support ticket into HPI yet have not received any reply (it's only been two days). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
