Default RE: Nitro Engine Break In


ORIGINAL: trickle007

ok 2 tanks just idling off the ground 2 tanks doing low rpm circuits. Is this thing broken in now? Can i go full throttle and tear it up with my next tank?
its not broken in yet IMO most instructions tell you to take it easy for 10 tanks
up till the 10th 12th tank be moderate and only do full throttle blips(5-10 seconds)


To get Bottom Dead Center heres what I do
Take out the glowplug
Shine a light down the hole
rotate the flywheel till the piston is perfectly at the bottom
put a mark on your flywheel at the top
after every run make sure that marks at the top when the engine is cooling

That will help you get the most like out of your engine.
