Hello Friends,
I have bought a Nitro RS4 RTR 3+ evo, I haven’t started it as yet as had issues with the glow igniter and getting a replacement, which is a bummer.
I was going through the HPI instructions manual about break in and it says the following
• New engines need a break in period of 3 tanks of fuel
1st tank
After the engine starts, let it run with the wheels off the ground for one tank of fuel
2nd and 3rd tank
After the first tank, drive the car in a circle at half throttle for two tanks of fuel
Engine Tuning After break in
After break in the high speedle needle must be tuned for high performance running, to return to stock break in setting turn the needle until it is flush with the sleeve
Tuning High speed needle
Turn the high speed needle clockwise in ¼ turn increments
Q) is this the best way to break an engine ( i mean to start if for the first time for long life)
Q) in few forums i have read it is important to have the piston at the bottom of the stroke whilst starting, is this true, if yes how do i get the piston at the bottom of the stroke, kindly include a diagram as this would help me in my understanding, thanks heaps
