Read the heat cycle break in method at the top of the engine forum. Post back after your familiar with that read and we'll take 'er from there. Edit: I bookmarked it Joey! About damn time...:)
 
I got the part where you have to turn the engine on and drive it slow for 2-3 minutes and then let it cool down. Do you have to let the engine idle till it reaches 200 or can you start driving it right away?

Is English not your primary language? There's no way I could explain it any clearer than that write up. That write up is what has to be done.
 
hi

hi

Rc 10gt?not sure but the engine i think its .15 or .18,now in that case i always use a 15% nitro.

THINGS YOU NEEDED:A FULLY CHARGE IGNITER,SCREW DRIVER AND THE NITRO,WORK STAND or mini toolbox FOR THE UNIT.install the battery

for the receiver and trasmitter.

FIRST STEP:put nitro in the fuel tank...but not too much full

SECOND STEP:put ur car in the work stand or center stand and make sure

that the tire is on hanging and never attach on the ground.
3RD STEP: let the gas flow into the curve by pulling the pulstart one or more

until u can see the gas flow and end to the curve.make sure not

too much to avoid gas overflow.
4RTH:hold the igniter and try to snap on top of the head of the engine w/c is

the glowlug s located.
5th STEP: while the igniter hit the gowplug pull the pullstarter and manually
adjust the idling needle a little bit clockwise from 12ocklock to 1
ocklock.
6th STEP:if the engine is working already dnt let stop until 5tanks or if ever

dnt worry it doesn't matter.restart it again.

7th STEP:after 5 tanks let it cool for 10mins. and start it again


in this stage you can run it on the ground.
8th STEP:start to adjust the speed of your car by turning the high end
neddle using screw driver, if u want it fast? turn it clockwise if you
want slow counter clockwise. but be careful of too much speed
might broke your engine.if u have temp gun.for that engine 220
fareignheit is better temperature.


BUT FIRST BEFORE YOU RUN IT CHECK THE BATTERY IF ITS WORKING AND BE SURE THE ANTENNA TUBE IS ATTACHED WITH RECEIVER CABLE.OPEN THE RECEIVER BOX AND U CAN SEE THE RECEIVER.


I KNOW THIS IS NOT A PROFESSIONAL SOP OF BREAK IN BUT I USED THIS PROCEDURE FOR ALMOST TEN YEARS AND I NEVER BROKE AN ENGINE EVER SINCE.

HOPE THIS CAN HELP YOU DUDEEEEE............

MORE POWER TO RC HOBBY............

sorry I'm malaysian
