This is the Team Associated RC8.2 Race Spec RTR 1/8 Scale Nitro Buggy, with an included XP2G 2.4GHz Radio System and a Reedy .21VS Pull Start Engine.

The RC8.2 has already proven itself a winner in many world class events such as the 1/8 scale off-road R.O.A.R. National Championship, the Dirt Nitro Challenge, and the Silver State Nitro Challenge.

I don't know if you already got the motor running, but the stock needle settings are set very rich.

I had the same problem you did. I leaned out the low speed needle and made sure the idle was not set too low.

I know this is a few month old post, so please disregard if you already solved your problem.

Bought this kit a couple months ago. I just found the time to get it out of the box. I have tried everything and this motor will not start. It will run for maybe 10 seconds and then stop. I spent 2 hours trying to get this thing started so I can go through the motor breakin process. If anyone has an idea please let me know. HELP
