Hi all,
Ran the standard 5 tanks as an initial break in for the trackstar/GO .28 that I shoehorned into my old acme 1/8 scale.
Must say for a cheapo the break in was good. Preheated for the first idle tank and the 2nd 1/4 throttle tank. Idle was good and was adjusted down after it loosened up after tank 4. Left everything else as it was, and it chucked out enough power to strip 2 steering servos even though it was very rich (although running on grass may not have helped).
Now I have a couple of questions: what are your reccomendations from here on? Pics show the piston has lost most of the mechanical pinch around tdc where the honing has visibly worn away. Should I use the full RPM range for the next few tanks and when should I start to tune?
Also I broke in using a hot turbo plug. Figured that would help with the cold weather here, but having read some more it sounds like I might be better off with a medium? Although it ran nice and cool with no hiccups so tempted to leave it.
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!
