Thank you for the article - very helpful. I am kind of new to the sport and just purchased a new "ABC" engine. Tight doesn't even begin to describe it - I thought it was broken. My plan, whether right or wrong is to use the heat cycle method and common sense. Again good article.

Should be OK but I recommend wrapping the head with aluminum foil and preheat it with a heat gun. I always preheat my new engines when breaking them in no matter what the outside temperature is. This helps take stress off the new tight engine.


Wow that's exactly what I just recently did with my TRX 2.5. And I thought I was the only one with this train of thought taking the extra measures.

It is command knowledge among experience RC people to do this. Just ask any hard core RCer.

Status: offline 		I think people are going to have sooooo many different opinions on how to break in an engine, and each is going to think theirs is right.

I personally just follow the manufactures instructions to a tee when breaking mine in and I never have issues.

The one thing I do religiously, is put after run in when I am done running for the day.

I had a TMAXX back when they first came out that had 5 gallons ran through it and was still strong....just wanted to upgrade to an OS motor for more speed as I raced it back then.

Newbee's just follow the instructions when it comes to breaking it in.
