Well, let's start off saying that the 3.3 is FAST!!!!! I started off breaking it in at factory settings, using the Heat cycle. During the first cycle, temps were in the 200-210 range at factory settings. After letting it cool, and restarting, the temps went up to around 230-240, so I richened it up a little, getting the temps back down around 210. Again, I let it cool down, and restarted. the temps were around 230 again, so I richened it up again, keeping temps around 210. By the time I was done cycling the engine, I was about 3/4 to 1 turn RICHER than factory settings, and just had to set the low speed needle. With running "Normal" the temps are in the 210-220 range, and if I do continuous, LONG (200-250 ft) high speed runs, the temps climb to around 240-250, still blowing plenty of smoke. On asphalt, the tires spin, on grass, it pulls wheelies.
After breaking it in at a parking lot, we went to a construction site Firesprink knows about, so it was time to have fun... lol As he took off, I decided to chase him. My Revo was gaining ground on him fast, and I misjudged the edge of the railroad tie along side the park. (From the angle I was looking at it, it looked like the railroad tie was almost flush with the ground), Needless to say, I was wrong.... The front wheels easily made it over the tie, but the rear skid plate caught it, sending my truck FLYING a good 20 ft. Enough rambling, now for the results....   Results: Shattered Bulkheads Bent Hingepins Bent hingepin brace Broke Skid plate Broke Aluminum Shock end Pulled left side axle out (not broken) Rear P2 Rocker broken Donations welcome.... lol J/K
