Breaking-In RC Cars

Robbie speaking for expert village. We're going to talk about breaking in motors, probably one of the most; well the most critical or important parts of racing a nitro or just playing with a nitro engine is the proper break in. Just as you wouldn't take a brand new car that you drove off the show room, get out on the interstate and run it 150 mph nor will you do that with one of these. There's a conditioning process or break in as it's known as in the industry. When you buy the car what you do is basically you got to run the engine very rich and all that means is you just got to get a excessive amount of oil going through the engine as all when you first start it. So for about the first 3 to 5 tank full's of gas to the car you'll run it excessively rich. What that does is provide an excessive amount of lubrication to all the internal engine parts and allows them to conform or fit together as kind of a matching or mating process that they go through. Lot of people like to rush that part, they think its a pain in the neck and they really don't like to do it but its absolutely critical for good engine life performance and if you want the vehicle to run it its absolute maximum percentage. I mean these things put out as much as 3 and a 1/2 to 4 horsepower's each. You spend the money on them; you want to get the maximum performance out of it. So make sure you take the time, all the manufactures give very detailed copious instructions on how to break the motors in as well as you can always consult with your local hobby shop.
