I got 10 tanks thru on new .16 Cen mill. On the last tank just before shutting er down, At an idle, holding it off the ground it was running like it was in gear. Now would this be a idle speed setting or LSM. And by the way, after 10 tanks glow plug I started with is clean(tip) as like new, no...

Just ran my sixth tank in the P5X on my new Mugen MBX5 Prospec. Leaned it out a bit on that last tank and got into the throttle a little. All I can say is WOW, this thing is freakin fast, and it isn't even tuned yet. Towards the end of the tank when it leans before the fuel runs out, it...

Ok, I am finally done with the build of my Mugen MBX5 ProSpec. The body is out to be painted and I am ready to break the Novarossi P5X in. Should I put something in the glowplug hole to loosen it up a little? When first running the engine, you have to crank it until fuel gets into the...

I have a friend that suggested it to me prior to break in of a new engine. The way he explained it was to drop about an ounce of castor oil down the head and hand turn the engine about 75-100 times. After doing this the oil should be real dark or black. This is supposed to smooth out the piston...

Any one have any insight ? http://rc-mushroom.com/product_info.php?products_id=4531

Well, whats the "proper" way? I've heard that the manual that comes with the car should have the break-in procedure. I've heard from mnm from another site to do this: • Mount your engine on a test stand. (optional) • Install an RC airplane propeller. (optional) • Run the engine rich for a...

I have two engines that I'm in the process of breaking in. I've ran one tank through each (at idle on the box), running the engines for about 2 mins, then letting cool, running again for 2 mins, etc.. The instructions aren't very clear on how many tanks to do this step for. I'm guessing two, but...

I've been reading online that alot of people are using the heat cycling method to "break-in" the os .18tm. is this goodor should Ibe usingthe method in the manual of 5 tanks leaning in 1 hour increments? it is said that using the heat cyvle method that you only need about 20-25 total minutes of...

Sorry if this has been addressed before, but I was wondering what break-in method ya'll recomment for the k4.6 engine? Should I just follow the manual, or do the heat cycle method (described here: http://www.johnnycoolguy.com/JCGR/main/tech_break-in.html ) I did a similar break-in for my...

Hello, this is my first time to this forum as well as my first time in r/c'ing... and i am having a HELL of a time breaking in my new motor. I bought the Savage SS k4.6 kit and put it all together and now i am trying to break my motor in. I've gotten through the first tank just idling, and now...

I've heard people say to just throw away the glow plug and put in a new one after your finished breaking in an engine. Is this true, and if so why? I've had a few engines and never changed the glow plug after break in, and they have all worked just fine. but i just recently bought an OS .18...

I've broke in a lot of engines in 8 years but why does a picco run so hot, I just got a picco max .26 and its running 240 for break-in i back the low speed out another 1 1/2 from factory break-in , same w/ my picco .21 its spitting tons of oil but just runs hot most the engines i tune break in...

Hey I just bought a new REVO and wasn't sure if i was gonna keep the engine for a back up or just sell it I did get it through break-in and added after run oil to it to sell, its new, I took the truck out of the box a week ago, everyone know what a TRX 2.5 looks like, I'm giving it away cheap...

Hallo nitro engines gurus, I have one question abou breaking of new engine. I am awaiting for new engine which i plan for racing and old one I will have for bashing and practice. Now my questions is: did somebody try to break in on a stand for two fuel tanks and after tese two tanks go to...

Hi, I finished my MT2 18SS, and it starts in no time, seems to run ok (still break-in) but what's weird, the wheeld start to turn like nuts... until I put the car on the ground and then it stops, or I pick up the car. It looks like the wheels only turn when the car was just started, kinda...

Well, I started breaking-in my new S27R, run 4 tanks through her so far and heat cycling every half tank and running; HSN 7.5 and LSN 2.5. :cheers: Every minute or so, I took her temperature and she varied from 230 to 270 degrees F, she got as high as 300. When it hit 300, I shut her off...

I'm new at this Nitro thing so take it easy on me. Anyway, I have an Ultra LX Comp that I received for Christmas. I read the instructions in the manual as far a breaking it in and tried to follow them as best as I could (very confusing). Well this is exactly what I did right or wrong. The first...

In about two weeks i'll be getting a rody c5 circuit, which is around $650. Yep, it's a lot of money...and i'm intimidated by it :( Is there a company that will break-in the engine and dyno it for me? I definitely need a dyno sheet so I can calculate my gearing accurately before I order the...

For .12 I just run the first 4-5 tank fulls of gas very rich and never exceed 1/2 throttle and keep the temps around 200.....besides that I just let the mill idle and adjust to get a good idle while putting the truck around at a nice easy pace.............I plan on using 30% in my buggy mill...
