Default Time for break-in?



I'm sure that it will vary greatly depending on engine/chassis combo, but I was just wondering how much time I should try to set aside/expect to take to break in my new nitro. Is 10-15 min a tank normal, or could it take longer since there will be a bit more off throttle time? TIA

Default RE: Time for break-in?

It will definitely take longer to use up a tank than when racing, but time doesnt matter. As long as you go at least 10 tanks running rich, gradually getting leaner towards the end, then you are safe.
