Dan Silagy from O'Neill Brothers Racing walks you through the process of how to correctly break in and tune an engine to avoid damaging or seizing it. Dan also describes the different types of carburetors found in most fifth-scale cars, and the differences between them.

+Triston Charge Agreed!!! = )
+Triston Charge Thanks and glad our video was helpful!
@@oneillbrothersracing I want to buy one of your engines
What would be the best one for my tlr 5ive b?? Cheers 👍
@@stephenfoster4255 Best way to get ahold of us is the contact form on our website and we'd be more then happy to help with an engine. Please be sure to let us know what type of running you'll be doing and if you will be racing.
@@oneillbrothersracing would it be ok to not mess with the needle settings and just run the engine at factory, I can’t really tell what a lean engine sounds like and don’t feel comfortable messing with needles
Watched this vid over a year ago when bought my first 1/5th scale car and must say this is best break-in vid you can find on the web. Have 3 1/5th scale now and always using this way of break-in and all my engines running great for a long time. just give your car the tlc it needs and have alot of fun :)
Thx for the great vid guys both thumbs up
One of the best intuitive tutorial. Thanks for lending us your knowledge and keep posting them edutainment videos.
Followed the steps in this video, got the Reed Case motor to start on the first pull! Great video, thanks Dan.
I'm watching this in 2019. Excellent video, simillar to the old nitro break ins in some respects. About to get my first 1/5 scale and this video answered every question I have. Thank you Sean!
Had to find obr tuning vid again. Very glad its still available. Very good tuning info. Thank you very much obr.
These guys are great. I just ordered a 6329 and have asked so many questions and they respond quickly and genuinely every time
6 years later and still one of the best tuning help vids out there! Especially for guys new to the BRAP scene Ssson!!
Great video 5 years ago when I got my first 1/5 scale buggy, still excellent tips today...
So much useful information in this one single video! Dan - you are the man! Thank you to you, Sean, and OBR!
That was a really helpful video, thank you for your time and effort putting this together!
This is by far the best video of 5th scale carb tuning
Thanks a lot dude, my car arrived yesterday, hope to run it in this weekend. Your video will really help, highly appreciated!
Great video guide chaps. Just got a 30.5 prostock that I'm going to break in at the weekend. Following your instruction will help a lot & make sure my engine lasts & performs like it should!
Thanks for this best tuning video I can find by a long mile 👍
Bloody good video buddy... I bought a 5th scale truck and was new to the carb tuning..
I have the 668 carby and this video really helped me to get the basic knowledge of how to perfectly tune the engine for great overall performance & the break in routine...
Cheers !
Talked to Dan on the phone today, purchased an engine, carb and pipe. Super friendly and willing to help.
I would say this is the best video on youtube on tuning and break in. I've watching this video multiple times while breaking in my redcat mt and xb and learn something new each time. I just recently bought a zenoah g320rc motor and I'm currently breaking it in. The stock hy32cc motors on both my redcats are trash. Killed both of them shortly after break in. Maybe 3 hours of operating time on each and they both lost compression and stopped cranking. ...i'm hoping for better success with the zenoah motors because now I'm about $2000 into this hobby between vehicles, tools, and motors. I'm addicted though so....oh well. Thanks again for the awesome video. Once I learn a little more about OBR motors I hope to upgrade soon. Thumbs up!
You are a life saver. I just brought my first RC and it wouldn't idle for anything. Followed your instructions and I can finally begin the break in process.
Awesome video I will be watching this over and over until this stuff is instilled into my head thanks for taking the time to do this
Thanks for the great advice, I’m just getting an Fg marder up and running so your video was very helpful,
Stay safe and many thanks from the North East of England 🇬🇧
Just got my 34cc reed from them and that sumbitch started just like he said it would. It's nice to have ppl like this to lean on when your fairly new to 5th scale. Years in the smaller nitro but 5th scale is a whole different monster. So thank you OBR for what will be an awesome engine
Awesome helpful vid. Watched it twice. Helped me tune my Baja. Almost there.
Great information! Everything explained and demonstrated in one video.
Thanks!
Man I wish I’d have watched this video one day earlier. Ya know, right before I flooded the car and broke my pull starter IN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES IF OWNING IT!!! Great video. Thank you. I’ll use these techniques when the new pull start comes in.
This just gave me a lot of confidence !
thanks for posting
Glad to hear it, you're welcome!
I just recieved my 34cc OBR Engine & cannot wait to brake this sucker in today. Best Costumer Service! By Far, best Craftsmanship I have ever seen. These guys mean business! I will defentely be buying more products of OBR. Thank you so much Sean and Dan for all your help and Support! hello from Calgary Alberta, Canada! Luv u guys!!!!
+Mark Dmitri Thank you Mark and enjoy your new engine!
Am feeling those OBR sunglasses, great video, lots of info on carbs.
This video is still excellent and informative and hugely relevant today! Thank you!
The best breaking in video! You guys are awesome!
wow that baja is really fast . great video this will help a lot of people , its been liked and added to my channel list .
u gave the best imfov on tuneing a carb ive seen thanks
Excellent video .Most informative I have seen .
I can start my OBR Reed so easily after watching this video thank you
This is a fantastic video very informative, I was making the same mistake by leaning the mixture and ended up siezing 2 of my engines. My hobby shop bloke always said to lean the engine to run it fast. I believe he was wrong. Thanks mate, great job....
This video is exactly what I have been looking for. Yeah, I pull and pull and pull and it never starts. Now I know!
I have a fueli 30 cc gas engine and they recommend an 8 hour break in. 4 hours 20:1 & 4 hours 30:1. Seems like a long time. I saw in your video probably about half hour break in .
Thanks again Sean.
I still have the engine i bought from you guys 3 years old now and still running i dont race it just a weekend toy but man and it still runs like beast escape from cage!
rabs2020 Glad to hear it!

Thank you Sir. This video was VERY helpful. I just wish I had seen this before listening to some of the boneheads in the garage. Most of those guys couldn't pour water out of a bucket if the directions were on the bottom, let alone tune an R/C car. This video will help ALL of us...Thanks!!

from OBR website; This video covers everything you need to know about break-in and tuning your new OBR engine. The Wt-1107 and Wt-1242 were not out when this video was made. Starting settings for a Wt-1107 are 1 1/4 low and 1 3/4 high and Wt-1242 1 turn out on the low and 1 1/2 high.
Your video help me out a lot, I start from the beginning to get the engine started. I was having difficulty to get it start. I messing with the low needle screw.

really nice video
Thank you for such an in depth video on how to properly break in and tune your gas motors
You're welcome, I'm glad to hear you found this video helpful.
great vid. so awesome to see a proper vid on the most questions on carbs, engine break in and tuning. Just one question as said below on the heat cycling, do you run the 3 heat cycles during low throttle, 3 heat cycles at half throttle, 3 cycles at full throttle then start tuning or 15 minutes once at low throttle, 15 minutes once at half throttle, 15 minutes once at full throttle then start tuning. Thanks again for the vid. will really help me out.
thank you, it"s great video
Thanks Dan 👍😎👍
thanks bro!
Very Nice !!
Kind regards from Germany
Good stuff!

Very Fine Sean!!!regards
This videos is awsome now i knw why my buggy is running like shit.... I jus hope i didnt ruin the engine but thank you foe this video you guys are the best.....
This guy's brilliant
Wish I could tune mine like this man I'm haveing a hell of a time
Great tutorial on how to break in an engine and tune the carbs. One question that never seems to crop up, is what the gap should be for the spark plug in thousands of an inch. Surely, if the spark plug gap is too wide or to narrow, it will make a difference as to how the engine performs.
Thank you. Plug gap 0.020 - 0.025"
Thank you Sean. It is just something that never gets mentioned in most videos I have looked at, on breaking in new engines.
