    On Break-in

    On break-in on my engine do I leave the needles where they were from the factory? I plan to seal the engine with green goo for the needles and copper gasket for the carb and the pull start. Just wondering where I should put the needles when I put them back in. Thanks in advance. Jason

    Slipper Clutch Wear during Break-in

    I'm new to nitro trucks and just bought a T-maxx. During the break-in process the slipper clutch got destroyed. One of the friction material pads was completely gone and another was only half way there. My questions are, how quickly are these pads supposed to wear? Obviously not that...

    Break-In Time for the SC8!

    Temps were in the 60's today and there was nothing better to do(by that I mean nothing I wanted to do) so I got the SC8 ready for some break-in runs. First I swapped out the servos for my Futabas' and swapped in the FASST rx for my 3PM tx. There's where my only troubles for the day come in...

    Pre Break-In Checks/Maintainance

    I am eagerly awaiting the arrival my first nitro rc, a Losi 8ight T 2.0 RTR. Although the main focus on a new nitro seems to be the break in of the engine, are there any checks or maintenance that need doing beforehand? I have read of some people putting locktight on specific nuts. Warming...

    Break-In Worries

    Ok. I just got my new O.S. .21TM, and after spending yesterday prepping it I started break in today. Finished tank 1 recently. I planned on heat cycling it originally, but I was apparently running it ridiculously rich for that first tank and it was hard to get the temp above 150 degrees. I'm...
