Pretty much ready on starting my car for the first time.

After about a few months of working, I can get my car to work. I was wondering if there was anything I needed to know/tips on starting, breaking in, etc. I'll be starting it on Thurs. so I have a lot of time to listen.

What is it? Who is it made by? What have you done to it? PIC would also be good.

1/10 Onroad RC, Mugen Seiki MTX-3, Nothing much, just built it. I'll go take some right now.

Nice. What's that orange thing ziptied to the right side?

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

Oh, that's the failsafe. I'm still trying to find something so I can tape it (or the sticky pad thing) it to the top of the thing its ziptied to. The rest are just wires bunched together.



EDIT: The battery pack is there because I couldn't fit it in the bottom battery place (Only for the rechargeable ones). I'm planning on buying one when I get the chance to.

Oh, here's a Youtube video I had uploaded a week ago. Still the same thing I'm not sure if it'll help you all with what your looking for in the car.

Do a "search" on engine break in. Its up at the top of your screen between "new post" and "quick links". Its your freind.

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

Alright. I found many types of break ins. Which one should I do?

For the failsafe, there's this stuff that's basically just double sided foam tape. My dad has some and I use it for servos, batteries, you name it. The foam is about 1/16 inch thick and it's stickier than superglue.

Heat cycle has been the break-in of choice for most. Some do the idle a tank, then lean with following tanks... but that tends to put an excess amount of strain on the con-rod.

Do a search for heat cycle. I think it's a sticky at the top of the nitro forum or engine forum.

Yeah, that's the one I saw. And Cupooter, I had some extras in the box that I will use.
