Default new motor, break in help

Installing a new dynamite .21 on my lx1 tonight. What's the best method to break it in, and also on the idle tank should then wheels be on or off the ground

read the manual it will tell you. i run the dynamite .21 in my lx 1. i broke mine in off the ground 6 idle tanks let cool down between each one of them. make sure it runs rich. and have a extra glow plug. ive raced mine 3 years now with no issues. and when you stop the motor make sure the piston is in the down position.
