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

Check out Squirrels forum! forums.thetoyz.com 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 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.

  7. MarinePkG says:

    jeez so manny people wining about fuel. you might spend 30 bucks on a gallon for the break in process or you can spend 300 for a new engine.

  8. jjcub24214 says:

    squirrel, what do u think about that mad storm with the .28 engine? and whic glow plug should i use for it?

  9. Squirrelod says:

    Engine life can be raised from 1 gallon to as many as 5 gallons.

  10. Squirrelod says:

    Keep in mind that while $10 might be too much for you, or not the best option for you, then it is not what is always best for the other guy. And most people want their engines to last as long as possible.

    Again, you may feel that it is not worth it. Others, however, do. =)

  11. Squirrelod says:

    I think that you missed the point my friend.

    5 tanks is not even a quart of fuel. Quarts are about $10 and a gallon is around $30. Depends on the brand, the oil content, and nitro percent.

    Doing 5 tanks to get the piston and sleeve molded correctly will allow your engine to run longer. If you do not do this, and that is your call, then you will be replacing engine components OR the entire engine way sooner than the $10 for 5 tanks.

  13. Squirrelod says:

    $10 in fuel or $200 on an engine that wears out sooner…..
