Default Got my new salvage 25.

Well, i just picked up my salvage. So far, I am very impressed with it. Although, it sure is heavy. I have a couple of questions though. I'm going to be breaking this engine in with the heat cycle method. What should the temp be during break in? After break in, what should the temp be? I have yet to start it, as it is raining outside. thanks guys.

Unless you destroy the thing in a crash (unlikely i know), THEN it's a "Salvage". Salvage what you can and bin the rest.

the black are best for jumping, i rolled my car over during my break in.....tight springs!
You cant complain with the savages dual stainless steel brakes (if you have the upgrade or limited edition) They made the rear wheels lift off the ground when i put the brakes on!
Crazy ass MT the savage is!

Just broke it in today. Hard to start at first, but a new battery in my cordless, helped it right along. I broke it in according to the book(*puts flame retardent suit on*) As, they made the engine, they must know how to break it in. I can't believe how long it idled a tank, 40 minutes, with temps just above 200. Ready to tune for some power now. Salvage 1, t-maxx 2.
