break-in

Well, my GS .21 B01 engine that came with my Storm is dead. Yes, after only 1 gallon of fuel through it, it died. The block has expanded to the point that the bearings just fall out, no heating or prying involved. There is so much slop that if you hold the engine with the pilot shaft pointing...

Just got finished breaking in my new Maxx (boy, it really was fun ), but after the third tank I was having an issue where the engine would just cut out for no reason. With the 4th and 5th tank, during break-in, I think it happened maybe 4 times, so no big deal, but it did happen. My neighbor...

Went to my LHS to get some fuel for my new 2.5 and they suggested WildCat 20/14 blend even for break-in. I mentioned to them that Traxxas says Top Fuel which is a 20/18 blend, and they said the 18% causes engines to not run very well (especially during break-in) because of the extra oil...

Well, slightly anyhow. We got blasted with about 3 feet of snow, and powdery as can be. I just need it to go up to about 35 degrees for a couple of hours to pack the snow a little bit and then I can continue with break-in. Otherwise, I think my Savage would just get lost in the white :(

I bought my maxx today! As I was breaking it in, I noticed that the truck was very jerky as I accelerated. I only got two tanks through before it was dark. If the jerking is normal, after how many tanks should it be gone by? Also, ho mch soke shouldbe coming out ofthe exhaust pipe? Thanks...
