How to break in a Nitro RC engine Part 6: Traxxas Method

This video is on how to break in a nitro with the traxxas method. This is a good method where it takes 5 tanks. the first tank is with the shell off, 1/4 throttle applied for 2 seconds, and then full brake. Tanks 2 and 3 are for 1/2 throttle for 2 and then 3 seconds. Tanks 4 and 5 are for full throttle for 2 and then 3 seconds with the shell on. This method works very well and can be a great break in method. The con to the method is the lack of measuring if the engine is gaining heat. You can get a very rich engine and defeat the purpose of any break in.

This video is on how to select fuel and glow plugs prior to break in. Information that this contains his how to troubleshoot and break in the kit based off of the glow plug, how much oil is good in fuel, and what nitro percent is good for the fuel.

This is a ten video rc nitro break in series. The series is designed on how to guide the novice to experienced racing pro or basher on how to break in a nitro rc properly. I will teach the traxxas, new school, and my own method which is a combination of the other two. I will show the user how to prime a nitro rc engine, start the engine using a bump start box, ex starter, roto start, pull start and tiger drive devices. Then, after break in, I will go over nitro engine tuning theory and then show the tuning actally done.

do you let the motor cool all the way down in between refuels?

Break in can take 5 tanks to 1 gallon. As long as you do the 5 tank break in properly to ensure a slow molding fit of the sleeve and piston then you are fine. You will be able to feel the engine getting stronger. When that stops- it has finished.

You dont have to if you dont want to. But your engine life will drastically lessened.

Break in will slowly conform the sleeve to the piston for the most pinch and compression possible. This is going to make the engine more efficient and powerful. If you get it too hot at first then you will not get the form. And a cold engine causes damage.

i am going to by a car very soon and its is going to be a traxxas 3.3, i dont understand why we need to was 5 tanks of fuel, if you can really explain why we need to do that. i really just dont understand.

they all have their flaws. If you noticed, in this video series, I present 3 break in methods that are the most popular.

Alot of people use this method and are happy with it. Personally, I prefer a combination of this and the new school method.

But, there is a manual in each RC engine and those who want to deviate from it do so at their own discretion.
