Breaking in new 3.3..... Quick question

[Gregtxman]

After 4.5 gallons on my original 3.3, I did the engine replacement plan that Traxxas offers. I just got my new 3.3 in. I will be doing the break in this weekend. I also just bought a THS pipe. I still have the stock pipe. My question is should I break it in with the factory pipe and then switch to the THS, or would it be ok to do the break in with the aftermarket pipe? I know that the engine in set up with "break-in" settings, and it suggests not tuning during the break in process. I also have a motor-saver air filter... should I break it in with the factory air filter?


Thanks for all of your advice.

Break it in as you would be running it.

Use the new pipe when you break it in.

I called Traxxas... They said that I need the factory items installed during the break in process... Now, I dont know what to do.....?

One more question... how cold is too cold to do a break-in? It is about 45 degrees here now, and it is killing me for my revo to be down for the past few weeks. It will be close to 50 degrees today. should I wait, or will it be ok to break it in now?

Finally got it broke in... Much to my delight, nothing went wrong. Had to change a glow plug, but that was it. I will be putting the THS pipe and Motor Saver filter on it today. I can't wait to hear that new pipe.

Thanks Again for all the advice
