Buy a temperature guage. It's so easy to overheat a nitro engine when you are just starting out. A temp guage can really help save some money and headaches. As far as breakin's goes, everyone and their dog has an opinion on that, so I suggest you use your search button and check out what people have said on RC Universe, and on the internet in general, and then draw your own conclusions. Personally, I like the " run it a bit rich, bring it up to normal operating temp quickly while driving (under load), and then shut down after 2 minutes and let completely cool down theory" Do this 10 times or so, and you're good to go. Again, that's one of a million techniques.

thanks guys, what about tunning? also the rear end seems to sit kinda low. i adjusted the attachment point to make it sit higher but it didnt work.

also how do you shut the engine off.
