Default How much fuel until fully broken in?

Bought a Savage x from a guy for 50.00!!! he said he broke it in, Runs great so i believed him! but I have ran about 1 gallon through it and it seems to be increasingly more powerful! How long until this guy is fully broken in? Or is it already and just tuning it has increased power?

ALSO: Does anyone have a stock Savage X that can wheelie from a stand still on 20%? Mine wont but any bump in the grass will start to wheelie.

It should be broken in after about 6 tanks. It it well broken in after a gallon.

I noticed my power increasing over the first half gallon or so, then it kinda levelled off. So I'd say around half a gallon to a gallon.


They're sufficiently broken in after the 5-6 tanks the manual says for you to go absolutely bonkers with them, though.

Good deal! I've heard some engines keep getting better over the first gallon, my Losi 454 really started to wake up after about a half-gallon.

My Savage (X4.6) will backflip from a standstill, you may have to adjust your slipper clutch.
