I broke my REVO according the what Traxxas recommended. I followed every inch and every word.

Well tonight, I bought a buggy and I was breaking it in tonight. Instead of breaking it in after five tanks(per Traxxas' recommendations), I just drove it minutes at a time and cut it.

After 5-10 minutes, I would run it again yet add little throttle for seconds at a time.

Tomorrow after work, I'm going to do that a little more and give it more throttle. But after that, it will be WOT(wide open throttle) city.

I've been into this hobby for over 12 years and breaking in a motor is the last thing I like to do when I have an awesome truck and I have friends that want to race.

How do you guys break in? Do you spend a lot of time doing it? Is that much time really necessary?

Thanks for the opinions guys.
