    I tried the normal method like this, it worked well. I used about $20 in fuel before hitting the track and I had to use a hair-dryer as I didn't have a heat gun. I did a drake-in oil bath engine and it saved money on fuel for the initial running and then saved me the time at home.... so if you have time and fuel, DIY is totally good and I would follow this method.

    Been in the RC world for a long time. Basher, racer, on road, off road, whatever! I'm 52, seen it all!🙄
    This is BY FAR one of the best engine break-in videos I've seen to date. Why, because he EXPLAINS why. I'm an old guy that is not only a RC nut but a machinist by trade. I know metallurgy and how different metal and alloys react differently to heat and STRESS. These insanely powerful lil' two strokes need heat cycles to properly break-in. Plus, even when using temp guns, you still can't see internal temps. (IE; wrist pin, crank journal, ect) Old rule of thumb taught to me was "Twelve tanks now for 12 gallons later."-12 tank break in "Smoke or go broke"-run rich. That was with complete cooldowns between each also.
    Ya you can maybe save some time to have a paid method to pre-break-in your break-in.
    To me it's a lazy method out, Like buying a box of sharpened pencils!
    All you guys flappin' your tongues about oil bathes this, send it that, crack me up!😂

    We need a company that offers qualoty racing engine for cheap in 2021. I find people leaning more to electric due to hassle and price point up front..... 400-500-800 for an engine without exhaust plus all maintenance is slowly killing the nitro hobby. In 90's early 2000 we had so many alternative brands now we have like 3 and sub branded engines making pricing so high and demand is lower too.

    i am restarting my old hobby stil have my cars and i had a serpent with 3.5cc engine last time it run 2016 stil new not even run in right i think 2 full tanks in. When i was there i learned from older gentlemen. He tuned my car and give me tips but after lets say 1 day of little tuning etc. he send me on my way to drive on track but now now i see this way i have som questions in my mind because i really would like to keep this engine alive longer
    1 do i need after lets say the break in new glow plug
    2 should i always pre heat it for running i wanna keep this engine alive for long time
    3 and after long time sitting i was thinking of inspecting the engine first because i don't know if i stored it away good with old fuel or not
    luckily it's not on top dead center and should i pre oil it and than heat it or just oil of the fuel i am learning my self to do everything to be a beter builder and keeping this engine alive much thanks for this video

I think if the tank's filled up to the pressure inlet, then when it depressurizes it can push fuel back up the pressure line. Might depend on the shape of the tank too.

    Curious to know what your thoughts are for preheating engines after the 12 tanks (roughly 1.5 L) break-in is complete. Do you recommend preheating every time, even after the piston/sleeve has, say, 3 gallons or more on it? I've had trouble getting a piston/sleeve to last beyond about 3.5 gallons before losing too much pinch/compression (signified by the usual behavior of becoming impossible to get a stable idle, frequent flame-outs, etc.) and I'm trying to fix my methods by preheating every single time, but I don't know if that's been the issue or if it's beneficial at all past a certain number of gallons.

    - Two tanks in idle, holding the temperature in between 100°C and 110°C, without letting the engine cool in between the tanks.
    - Five tanks driving in figure eights with a tune that is fat but allows the motor to hold it's temperature when covered. (Is there a cool off process in between the tanks, or five tanks straight without cooling?)
    - Another five tanks driving in figure eights where i start to tune the engine to a point where it holds its temperature without any cover. (Is there a coll of process in between the tanks, or again five tanks straight without colling it down?)
    Did i get it right? If so, i will use this method on my new REDS Engine. Would be nice if you could shortly repsponse to my question if it's possible for you, thanks.

      @@invisiblespeedrc It's escalating quickly in the amount of work that's needed to monitor the engine and keeping it happy to the point where it's just a lot easier and safer to wait if it's possible.
      I usually have a variety of cooling heads (sizes) on hand, different types of wrapping and I optimize the oil package and nitro content for every step of the break-in.
      The temperature of the head doesn't say everything unfortunately, the fuel flow that's contributing to a lot of the cooling on these engines will impact how the piston expands compared to the sleeve, that's why throttle, load, rpm for instance will change things as well.
      I know, I know, at some point you have to accept that you can't control everything and just get on with it, I'm just pointing out that if there's an option of waiting then it will be in favor for both beginners as well as experienced. 😄

    The whole purpose of the oil bath is to lap the piston kinda like lapping valves on a 4 stroke. It does, like you said, makes the break in procedure easier. The other theory behind the oil bath is that your connecting rod will last longer because there’s less stress on it during your first tanks running the engine since the oil bath loosens up the pinch a bit

      @@invisiblespeedrc I watched every second of it. I just wanted to say something about the oil bath stuff. It makes more sense for someone who doesn’t have the patience or is really busy to send out their engine and have it pre-“broken in”. I haven’t used the oil bath “break in” before and I don’t know if I will. It’s not a necessity for the average person in the hobby, but for a racer that has their time occupied by a bunch of other things, sending out a few engines to have them pre-broken in is a time saver as they only have to run 4-6 tanks through their engine before they run it at a race. Even with the oil bath, engines still take about a gallon of fuel run through them until the piston and sleeve are a perfect fit so the engine can run with optimal performance and fuel economy. Every engine I’ve broken in has been with a method similar to yours and they all run great. There’s nothing wrong with either method.

      i used oilbath on some recent engines.
      my experience is that engines free up a lot around tank 3-5 after oilbath. me personal i think the classic manual method is the best for the engine if we talk expected lifetime. like JQ mentioned because the engine has it's natural heat zones all the time from the beginning.
      oil bath makes it easier and earlier to race an engine if it's new. the best long term results i see for me and around my area have been 9 out of 10 classic manual break in. IF people know what they are doing because --->good manual classic break in>oil bath>bad manual classic break in

    Also to note when you even get the engine run in still pre heat the engine and chassis as then your engine will be on temp and the tune will be the same as the last time you run the engine. Just commonsense

    From what I understood..
    Pre-heat engine before starting, at around 80-90 degrees you can turn it on and reach operating temperatures (100-115 degrees) and run 2 tanks at idle. After that run 5 tanks (slow and smooth throttle aplication while running figure 8's, all the while monitoring temperature) 15 min break and then run 5 more tanks progressively adding a bit of speed but still keeping it smooth. After that it's ready for the track and to begin tuning correct?
    Are the 5 tank intervals run continuously or is there a break inbetween tanks?
    I noticed there was some LSN adjustment during the break in process, was this done to increase engine temperature or was there another reason for it?
    Thanks in advance, love your videos!

    The one good thing about an oil bath is like any motor when you break in an engine you get metal parts rubbing together which leaves behind metal. Take 8000 grit sand paper or a brown paper bag same grit rub it on metal the dark color on the paper is in fact metal so the oil bath will pull those metal particles into the oil instead of having to run those bits out the exhaust, oil traps metal thats why cars have filters but in this case we don’t filters. That black pavement you think thats unburnt oil or fuel? Send it in to an oil analysis company its contains lots of metal. What is ideal is a road with steep incline high load going up coast down, you want the parts to fit together best under full load, internal micro heat cycles. Best broken in motors are one broken in with higher loads they break in faster gets that metal out and the motor knows when its up to operating race condition and you ask for all the beans its gonna give it to ya, once upon a time, a 3 time 1/8th scale state champion. Just my experience, thanks for your time.

      I was just trying to point out that one of the possible benefits might be that one or 2 quarts of oil in those baths that is a much greater volume to trap metal wear, than the max 30% per gallon, We run in the nitro. Is it no, I would love to see some controlled experiment much like project farm does with his experiments and have one of these ran through a bath and one broken with your break-in suggestions and then run them full-tilt, full- load, till one dies or they pop, will the glow plug on the one that’s in been in the oil bath last longer?

    My personal opinion is that an engine will only truly mate the parts when it has got hot and cooled several dozen times. Idling on a tank is not achieving much. I just drive it around gently to get it hit then let it cool and give it a break and then repeat . The most important thing is not stressing a new engine when it is not very hot.

Than for 1liter dont exaggerate in your driving and keep slightly below the 100 degrees. Your fine. An engine needs to be broke in in an practical method. That means that you need a drivewind to cool the engine and dont forget to use a hairdryer to warm up the engine before starting till he got his 2 liter.

Screw up the break-in, and your engine WILL SUCK for the rest of it's pathetic life.
