Ultimate Guide to Nitro Engine Tuning from JQ Racing

Settle in for this one - it's over an hour, and has great production value (and is hilarious!) But if you want to know how a carb works, how the needle valves work, how to adjust your idle, or anything else involved with nitro tuning, you must check this out.
