YEAAAAAAAAH! It stopped snowing and mostly melted... It got up to like 35 degrees so I said screw it and took out my Sport. Just ran it in my garage though trying to stick to the break in specs on how to do it...

Got through two tanks of gas. Was pretty effing cool! Even though I basically just got to do laps around my garage, I had a fricking fun time :celebrate2:

Manual says 4 more tanks to go before I can floor it though... so hopefully itll just get warmer so I can knock out the rest of my break in tanks.
 
Remember that break in can take up to a full gallon for the mill to really wake up.

On my newer Picco Omega 21, I have about 3/4 of a gallon through it and I am still seeing improvements in the power each time I take her out.

So don't go full balls to the wall just yet. You can tune for speed but I would keep WOT down to a minimum if possible.
 
I hope you had the garage door open when you did that.. or at least cracked.
Those fumes can fill up a room quick!!
I once cranked my tmaxx a long time ago indoors to get the rest of the fuel out of the engine and it ran for around 45 secs instead of 10 like I thought it would.
I almost passed out!!
Lesson learned.

Good point Tac, Nitro should be ran in a well ventilated area. I recommend a clear area like a vacant parking lot or field.
 
Sweet man. Like Jon said though give it time and youll like what you see more and more.
