Default Having trouble with my 1/8, help!

Hi there!
I recently bought myself a used Monster Pirate.
Ever since I got it, it hasn't been working properly!
In the beginning, it would die/backfire when I applied full throttel (too lean/rich?), so, I took it in the garage and started tuning. It has a T2M MX21 engine, and I can't find the standard settings anywhere! So, I tried myself, and now it will hardly run!

When I start it up, it will run for a while, wheter I apply throttel or not! It just dies out like "ni, ni, ni, ni, ni, ni-boup".

I have no idea what to try next, could you please help me!?
I don't want my money being invested in a car that wont run...

Thanks,
Petter Ekman

Usually the high speed needle is anywhere from 2-3 turns out and the low speed 1.5 turns out!!! I have never heard a nitro backfire?????

Default Backfire? Oh yes!

Have you never? Well, OK, I hadn't either, until mine did... I even got it to flame out of the exhaust! That was pretty neat...

Thanks for the specs, gotta go out and try!
