Finally, a man that knows how to break in an engine! I can attest to this method. I do it pretty much the same way. The only difference is, after the fourth tank, I raise the idol a bit more and periodically rev to about quarter to half throttle for short periods of time for a straight three tanks without ever letting the engine turn off. So after the four tanks of running and cooling, I run it with out letting it run out of fuel. That about it. The whole time running super fat. After that I hit the ground for adjustment and full throttle slowly. Never had a problem. This guy knows his stuff. Definitely listen up. P.S if it’s super tight, unscrew the glow plug to release pressure. Once started, tighten it back down, these things will run with the glow plug almost completely out.

Just ordered one of these getting back into rc after 10 years. I use to love Nitro for bashing Rc10gt, traxxas jato and I use to race electrics at the local track . You bet I'm going to watch all your vids on the usa 1 nitro . And I subbed btw

Very informative series. Much appreciated!

Awesome vid man. Finally I found somebody else that has the same views on break-ins. High oil fuel, maintain a steady temp, and multiple heat cycles.

Thank you! I've used this method for over 20 years with great results. Other methods, even oil bath, just make me cringe lol.

@@m1pistonhead same here. I basically do a bench style breakin. I will set the truck/car so the tires are off the ground and pretty much just set it at a high idle and constantly monitor temps and adjust with a heat gun when the motor gets under about 180. I try to keep the temp at 200 during break in. After a few tanks I’ll start giving it light throttle every now and then. I don’t really drive it until it’s had about a quart through it. Probably overkill on the break-in, but it’s never steered me wrong and better safe than sorry lol.

Nice KTM enduro in the background,

Kyosho brake-in on that engine is to use the brake-in ring and run 5 tanks with no full throttle. I have never done this brake-in. Was hoping you was going to do this. I'm 55 and I have had 100s of nitro engines and did every way of brake-in there is. I find using 20% nitro and using Traxxas way of braking in to be the best and fastest. It don't really matter what method of brake in you use as long as you heat cycle the engine on the first 2 or 3 tanks. For those that want to give me lip on how your way is best, I have nitro engines I have put 10 15 gallons of fuel through. I have a sirio .27 that has about 20 gallons of fuel through it. I have had engines that busted skirts after 5 6 gallons.

i dont have the oil do i NEED it?

thanks for the detail in this video What servo would you recommend to upgrade steering?

The Savox 2270SGP is a perfect steering servo for this truck!

Did you use that break in ring ?

No I did not. The "break in ring" is really just a carburetor restrictor. So long as you have some self control on the throttle during the break in process then you wont need to use it.

Forget all you see here it's not the transmission its the axles taking out the transmission, take your drive shaft off turn it by hand. It's so bad. Move washer shim never have any problems again.

Ben Weaver, lol really? I’m married into the Weaver family! Up here in northern Indiana!!! Anyway I’m breaking in my newest nitro RC USA 1 nitro 1/8 scale RC truck.
