I got a Nitro truck for chrissy and have a ? about the tuning.....apparently the engine was run in at the hobby shop but when I first started it, it was running so rich drops of fuel were spitting out the exhaust so I've followed the instructions through the run in process.....now I believe it is run in properly how do I know if its tuned right. I'm right with the idle speed but its the mixture that i dunno if its right or not.....the engine is not overheating and i cant hear pinging but it is still blowing a decent amount of blue smoke....how do I know when to stop leaning it off? should it be blowing smoke at all?

oh and thanks to pulsssar from PGA for turning me onto this site.........I'll put pics of my truck on here when I take some
