Revo with RB 323 - champion jeep - 04-26-2006
Here is my Revo with the RB 323. I have not broke it in yet. I am sort of nervous about doing it. I am afraid I might mess it up.

I know I just keep thinking I will mess up the motor.

Just take it easy, and follow the directions, you will be fine.

I just don't know what method to go with. Most people say heat cycle method. RB's instruction say to use the Traxxas method. I just want the easiest but most reliable.

Ive had good luck with the traxxas method, but ive only done traxxas motors like that, my other motors, duratrax/os said just do drive slow... so i dont really know about non traxxas motors, but i like the results of the traxxas method on their motors.

do what teh book says thats ur best bet

do the traxxas method, it'll work on any motor.
My personal method is "take it easy for 5 tanks, get a little more into the throttle each tank, by the 5th tank you should have full throttle pegged for 2 seconds"
it's pretty much the traxxas method although I just do my own thing the whole time.

Very nice looking...is that whole truck brand new?

All I can tell you is that no matter what way you break it in, that engine is going to be a handful! I love speed and ridiculous power...my .23 has that... but if you intend to race it...watch out...it's a bit much for the track. You will absolutely love it otherwise...stupid fast with tons of power!!

Yeah the truck is pretty new. I had broke it in and on the 6th tank the air filter came off and I sucked dirt into the carb. When I changed out the motor I cleaned it up real nice and put some WD 40 on it to freshen it up.
I do believe I am going to use the Traxxas method to break it in. The 2.5 I had was really waking up till my accident. I don't know about racing just yet. I feel like I would hinder all the racers on the track if I went.
I did check out Leisure hours on a race day and it was real cool. I will definitely run it on a practive day to get use to a track.
