Engine Break In Day

Sunday 25th March
Breaking in of a New Reds WR7 Nitro Engine On Sunday with Corin ahead of the Bank Holiday Weekends Racing to Start off the HNMC Summer Series.
There were a few issues with the starter box which wasn't set up quite right, but we got around that with a little perseverance.
Break in went well and then Corin beached the car in the Big Muddy Puddle while I was changing the memory card in the GoPro which was a shame to see the car covered in wet drippy mud on an engine break in. But we had a good laugh.
Please note this is not a HOW TO but a video documentation of what transpired during the engine break in procedure we used.
Overall once we got around the issues with the starter box set up we started the engine after priming really easy.
We run 4 tanks of fuel on the starter box gently revving the engine like we would to warm it up before we start a qualifying round.
Heating from 60°c up to around 95°c as our ambient temps were around 10°c.
After the 4 tanks on the box we started to drive the car gently down the road and back keeping a check on temps now and then.
We run a few tanks at quarter throttle.
Then a few at half throttle.
A few at three quarter throttle.
Then finally a few just hitting full throttle and backing off.
