Just follow the heat cycling instructions. Seems like that would be the best method. Last time I broke in a motor I just "took it easy" for 5 tanks. People get too crazy with break in methods IMO and cause newer people to screw things up when they try that method! Does more harm than good. Just be smart about it,
heat the motor before you start it. Hair dryer for a couple minutes at least
run tank one at 0-1/4 throttle (gas, brake, gas, brake, gas, brake).
run tank two at 0-1/2 throttle but only do 1 second 1/2 throttle runs. Don't lay on it......yet.
now I would charge my receiver pack from going "gas/brake" so much.
run tank three at 0-1/2 throttle but lay on it for 2-3 secs at 1/2 throttle.
run tank four at 0-3/4 throttle, 3/4 throttle for only a second
run tank five at 0-3/4 throttle but lay on 3/4 throttle for 2-3 secs.
run tank six from 0-FULL throttle.
Tune the motor throughout as needed keeping it a bit rich yet keep the temps above 200F
I've never had a bearing failure in ANY motor I've ever owned!
Trinity fuel works great for me, that's why I use it. I don't care what kind of lube is in it.
