Heat cycling for break in

[rak12]

First of all, I would like to thank you everyone for help with my previous posts. The knowledge learned will go a long way and has answered alot of questions I've had lingering.
Long story short, I've reinstalled my 3.3 that the good guys at Traxxas rebuilt under warranty. I've read that heat cycling is the sometimes the best means for engine break in. Is this true for the 3.3? And if so what are the procedures? Also would heat cycling in addition to the Traxxas procedures for break in really ensure a well broken in engine? Thanks for input.....

I prefer the heat cycle method. Really, either way will yield a good engine. You can read about the Heat Cycle method HERE
Doing both would be of no benefit IMO.

I have used the heat-cycle method to break in my rigs (in fact that was how I found this site--doing a search for proper break-in procedures) and have not had any problems with any of my nitros.
