I have a savage 25. I just bought a brand new replacement engine HPI .25. What do you recommend for the initial break in for the engine. I am looking for some good advice from the pros. I havn't even filled the fuel tank yet. Let me know. :second_place:
 
In the instructions for the model, it says to run the car off the ground with the engine at idle for 2 tanks of fuel. Then run the car in a circle/s for another 1 tank giving throttle to 3/4. after that just be careful for another tankful.

The heat cycle is the best i have found. Look under search for heat cycle break in.
