Im glad you are showing others how to do the break in process properly, Ive been critisized for not doing one tank on the bench and then running the car on the ground at quarter throttle for the second tank and then half throttle for the third tank then 3/4 throttle for the fourth and then up to full throttle for the 5th. I learnt how to break in Glow engines with OS aircraft engines and back in the day you started them on a bench mount with a small propellor so as to not load the engine up while running them in, expensive engine or not it deserves to be broken in slowley if you want it to last and I believe that loading it up to soon will shorten the life of the engine.

I can tell you’re very particular and precise with this break in process… very clean for the entire set up. Plus you don’t want to rush an expensive engine not breaking it in properly

Yes, the Pre Heating is SO important on a new Nitro engine! People dont realize how tight a new motor is ... and by heating it, its allows the cylinder to expand and decrease the stress on the motor! I do this method almost exactly ... the only difference being, i leave my glow plug a half turn loose on break in start ups! I find it helps drop compression just a bit by allowing some pressure to escape, making it easier on the rod. After that puppy starts up and is running all good, i just snug the plug up!

Broke mine in tonight with your help man! I followed it step by step and my new car is running great!...thank you for uploading the video and regards from Ireland! ☘

Great video bud thanks for sharing

Great video on break in. Usually, if the rpm’s rise while idling and the temps start going down (idling and driving round) without changing the tune, that’s a pretty good sign that the pinch is loosening up and everything is breaking in nicely.

really well done, a really explanatory and useful video, thank you very much!

Great video, just got my first nitro car recently!!

i have same REDS pipe..but installed it on my Orion CRF7 ...i like mix-matching trying to find a perfect match..nice KIT -Associated truggy..i have HB..i break-in same way..nice..thank you

Sorry I am piss out everyone makes it look so easy so easy I'll leave you alone I love your video

Awesome bro can’t wait to see this truggy in action

Can we get a tuning video please your video was so much easier to follow

I am gonna try your method I am new to the hobbie and a pull start is like pulling teeth 🙈I like the bump box and I already have 1 ,and I will preheat before starting thanks great vid

Nice I'm about to break in my reds r5r in my TLR Eight X Elite good process by the way

Thanks you

Dam bro would have been nice to here the damm engine sound not this crazy music you got playing that is sick bro to clean nice work carbon fiber dope

Awesome video! I Just switched to Bones brew

New subscriber

It’s so pretty you don’t even want to drive it just look at 😂 dope

nice dude, and can you link me whatever that air filter protecting mesh is? i would very much appreciate it :)

Nice video man. Just one question: When you heat the engine to 220 - 240 does the temp reading at the cooling head have to be the same as the reading when temping the block? Usually I notice there is about 20f difference between the two spots. I find myself having to heat my engine alot with a heat gun just to get the block to read ~220f. This is where I am a bit confused and worrying that I am heating up my engine too much and can possibly damage it. Most videos I see they only temp at the top of the cooling head and go based of that reading.

I thought about buying two new carburetors for both of my nitro vehicles would it start up right away because the nitro carburetors I’m getting a brand new and and they are set to the factory settings I thought about buying a new engine instead which one would be the best to buy a new carburetor or new engines are you doing the Break in procedure in the cold

Where did you get the shock covers.

Running in is about heat cycles. not engine movement or anything else.

Where did you get airfilter cover bro

What temp glow plug did you use and what fuel was it 20 or 30%

After all this time since this video do you still recommend bones break in? I started using it I'll never stop

I just bought a new Savage X 4.6, can I use this same nitro fuel and break in method with it? Keeping the temps between 220 and 250?

I have a traxxas t-maxx 3.3 can I use this fuel for the break in procedure?

Would After run oil work for pre-break in lubrication? Or should I just get some 3-1?

Is the excess oil reusable?

is this done only when you get a new nitro car/engine?

Do u have to heat up the engine in the breaking process or can u run it with out heating it for like 5 tanks

does the engine need to be running rich during the break-in?

How to know piston is bottom dead center?

bro wouldn't blowing fuel into the carb allow moisture to go inside engine w the moisture from your breath

I'm doing my first break in tomorrow, will vp 30% be ok for breaking in.

Why not pinch the fuel line plugging the exhaust floods the engine.

Does it really have to be that hot ? My manual says between 80&90 c ?

You forgot to tell them to increase the idle so the tight engine won’t keep stalling .

Like I have brand new Nitro rc in box

Have spankin new RC new Nitro Hate how easy they all show this. Have tried everything no startup.

Is this product located in Europe? Can you give me a link?

impossile to tell what rms are doig coz music way to loud

where you from and race ?

I'm so scared to break in all my Nitro RC s I have way too many I hear so many different ways to break it in I don't know how I'm going to do it anymore that's why I got like 15 or 20 in my goddamn basement

Has anyone ever pulled the carb and put the engine in an oven at 250?

Losi .31, traxxas , xray,hpi, I have hundreds of thousands of dollars in my basment cuz I don't know how to break a in and they cost way too much f****** money

You didn’t have to set none of the other needles

You know what a pool table is right it's loaded with them and on my shelf down there in the basement this is pathetic on my end I'm done now by

Do not understand using a heat gun. It’s so unnatural and completely backwards of a process. Heating from the outside inward, instead of from the center of the engine, outward. Also, pinching the exhaust sends a pulse wave of fuel back into the engine. Better to pinch the fuel line and keep pinching the line while trying to re start, burning out the remaining fuel in the engine

I have all the heat guns all the stuff tools and all that starters starter boxes all that heat guns temperature gauges just don't know how to do it anymore I'll start it up and then all the sudden goes rpm goes up then I Panky Because I don't want to burn the engine out and it's new I don't want to give up but way too much $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ if you were come over here you would slap me in the face!!!!! I got old 1 like old
