Nitro Engine Break in 

Still helping us out, such a good guy. We miss ya bud

As most common people hate to break in new engines,i find myself enjoying the prosess. Take my time to do it properly;and dont just rush trough it. I have never ruined an engine. Take care of it,and spend a few minutes on after run service. And USE after run oil ALWAYS when storing it! And dismantle it from time to time to inspect it.

I just bought my 1st nitro rc car, Losi 8ight Buggy. I've only ran electric before and wanted to give nitro a chance. I just started a to break in the engine. Glad to hear that some of the things you you ran into are normal & what they meant. Like the idling up & down a bit, a few sudden stalls, the cooling the engine down between tanks. I feel a bit more confident now with the 3 idle tanks I ran. Specially seeing a substantial amount of oil exiting the pipe as I knew it's recommended to run rich to keep things lubricated. I used the heat gun to keep it to keep it in the 220-260F range. Keeping really close temp watch with a laser temp gun. Tomorrow I will start tank #4 by doing the slow figure 8 runs @ ~25% throttle & 50% throttle for tank #5. As a 1st timer & little experience with tuning carbs I'm really trying to not screw it up lol. Thanks for taking the time to make this video & explaining things in an easy to understand method. 😎👍

Thanks for the great video and being an ambassador of the nitro hobby. If I ever get an engine modded, I will certainly send it to you. I feel like those .28 novas are so touchy, super popular engines but touchy and sort of inconsistent between engines, mine wasn’t that tight either and it took me awhile but I have it running pretty good. Anyway, thanks again rex and take care

Great video as always. I've been enjoying going through your engine review videos and getting a better understanding of how they work.

Top notch vid Rex as usual 👍👍

I'm just about to break in my AD B21 II and cannot be more excited

Great informational vid

Great video would love to see a part two

Nice vid 👍

RIP 🙏 🏎💨

Nitro will never die

Cool video. I'm curious as to how many times you needed to change the starter wheel in 10 years? Do they last a long time?

Never thought about heating under the chassis smart.

I have a Traxxas trx 3.3 engine that I just rebuilt that needs broken in. I know Traxxas has their own recommend method for break in and says that normal methods will ruin the engine. Is this really true or should I break in the engine like how you broke in yours?

I hate heating up the engine in the car because I have to aluminum foil everything so it doesn't melt and it's a pain in the butt do you think I could heat it up a few times with it out the car doing the heat cycle I dont use head heaters

How much of the bones break in fuel should I idle on the REDS R5R engine?

What is a good nitro rc to get me started? I know there's not many models available, which model would you recommend? Thank you.

Question ????? Just got a kyosho nitro tracker every time i power on transmitter then receiver the steering works the throttle does not i switched the stterin and throttle wires ant throttle works steering??? What is bad???? Or what should i do????

I'm rediscovering nitro racing after 15 year hiatus, I normally use 30% nitro powermaster fuel for racing, I'm building my new car with o.s. speed engine, should I use 20% nitro fuel with more oil %? or I can go with 30% for break in?

Do you have any experience with repincing a sleeve?

They still make the ofna box Rex its rebranded under Hobao now the blue one ok.

I'm new to nitro, thank you so much for your valuable views!

They dont make that our box anymore with twin motors , i have the twin and wanted a second and it only has one motor

Fucking Neighbors' with their lawn obsession.....just like my neighborhood....always making annoying lawn care noise....that is why, I got back into Nitro cars. Now they can listen to my shit.

I think u NEED to sell me that nova 28-8. I’ll pay new price for it. If ur interested let me know and I’ll get in contact with ya.

Great tips, but never cool down with a fan, let it cool naturally, you risk warping or cracking and puts the metal through unnecessary stress. - Ev
