Default Breaking-in on Nitro?

Hi everyone,

I have a new OS 15 LA that I plan to use in a club racer on
15-20% nitro, and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to run-in on say 5-10% or something like that.
Thanks

Stefan

No. Break it in on the fuel you will be using to run it normally.

The amount of nitro doesn't matter...the amount of oil does. For a plain bearing engine like the LA you might get away with 20% oil but I'd go for 22% and at least half of that castor.
