how many people didn't break in there first nitro properly?
#5
I edited this because it seems my point got across. I'm a fair person and will forget about everything.

For my first nitro I Broke the 2.5 in on my maxx following the instructions step by step. It lasted about 2 gallons because I never touched the needles once and it was running lean most of the time. My next 2.5 didn't even get through break in as it came from Traxxas screwed up. My 3rd 2.5 lasted 5 strong gallons and that is the motor I learned to tune with.

I had a friend who bought a nitro rustler 5 years ago. We (we, because I helped with everything) didn't read not one sentence from the directions. We finally got it started after about an hour of trying. The truck wouldn't move , even at full throttle. after about 2 tanks of trying to get it to move at full throttle it started moving. Then it proceeded to get faster and faster with ever minute going by. That motor still works fine (pro.15).

So I've done it both ways and had decent success both ways Smile
