What do you think about this Break in Scheme? Please also fill in the max WOT time on the 6-9 tanks.
I'm getting my MGT 8.0 on next monday so here's a question 
Does model technics make good fuel? On my oher car I use a Qwikfire 16 fuel but I feel like getting a fuel with 20-30% nitro in it so is the Big Bang good then?
Honestly this is the first time I have seen this type of break in procedure and think it's a little out of the ordinairy. You pretty much dial in your needle settings to the specs listed on a page or two back from AE and then richen things up a bit further for break in. You can look in your engine manual that comes with the truck, but it's probably still uncorrected and has the wrong settings...However based on the settings you start with here and then look and see what they tell you to do for the break in say richen up your high speed needle another half a turn or whatever and they also give a break in procedure in the book. Just do not start with the base settings they give you as they have been way wrong. Just start off driving your truck slowly in figure eights and around nice and easy and just avoid full throttle or even anything near or above half throttle for at least the first few tanks and if you have a temp gun...You can check and make sure the temp doesn't go crazy high. But you do need to get the engine up close to 200 and then well above during the following break in tanks. You can do a search and find many break in procedures that pertain to the thermal cycling. After each tank let the motor complety cool down and always make sure you put your piston at BDC and don't leave it up in the pinch area of the cylinder.
I have used O'Donnels, Sidewinder and Byrons in 20 and 30 percent and they all seem very good. I beleive the O'Donnels has slightly more lube and probably better for break in....The others are more than sufficient but slightly lower percentage wise if you go to the race blends. But you really should know how to dial in your truck by that point be able not to run it to lean or hot.
Tuc should have listed the starting base needle settings her received from AE and they are great! I have leaned a little from that, but you will want to richen for break in. Maybe he can suggest exactly where to start for the break in.

I break-in a little on the rich side, run the truck around at 1/4 throttle for a tank.
The next tank I get a little more on the throttle, maybe almost half, for a short period at a time.
The next tank a get half throttle for short period maybe 4-5 secounds
The next tank I get 3/4 throttle for short period 4-5 secounds at a time
The last tank I run it wot for short period.
Then I lean it out a little and bash around. I am a little easy on it for about a gallon
Always let the truck cool after each tank, and put the piston at bdc.
When the motor starts to make good power at a slighty rich setting you are done.
Now lean it for max performance if you race, leave it like it is if you bash.
