I consider myself lucky. I got my first nitro car used, so the fun began immediately..FULL THROTTLE! My second car. just 3 months later, was brand new. Fortunately I had heard from helpful folks, such as those on this board, and through reading good magazines on the hobby, that break-in is a MUST. So as boring as it was I watched 6 tanks of fuel turn into a puddle of oil on the garage floor. But that motor runs fine, and I have been keeping it a little rich just to make sure. I will lean it out (a little) this season.
I feel bad for anyone who has something brand new break so soon. But as they say, the best learned lessons are those learned the hard way...sorry about your motor, really, I am.
