Thanks for taking the time to make this. I’m new into this and just got myself a nitro RC. Subscribed and will continue to tune in for more knowledge.

[@rccoachwenger]

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!😂 Great HOW-TO Video

[@shaner.5]

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.

[@invisiblespeedrc]

Ok so the oil bath is a bath of oil with metsl particles in it that you are using to wear out your engine. Great….

[@shaner.5]

@@invisiblespeedrc No its somewhere for any initial metal to be suspended in the oil which has a much greater volume rather than having to run it though the engine, these engine don’t have a way to trap those break in pieces, the only way an engine not pre broke in can get rid of anything is suck, bang, blow, there is nowhere else for those particles to go, and I think we can both agree there will be metal that’s part of any break in.

[@shaner.5]

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? You got the resources and the connections, call OS and make it let’s make it happen. In there laboratory. The research and development lab is quite amazing.

Yes except the particles are in the oil, vs removed through the exhaust

10:26 Another way to prime the engine w/o adding unnecessary stress to the rod is to cover the exhaust tip with your finger while opening the fuel tank lid and letting it snap shut about 4 times. It's also nice in that it preserves the starter box battery and rubber wheel a bit too.

[@cbh148]

@@PSA78 I've heard of some people getting fuel shot in their mouth doing that lol. 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.

And that was with preheating to 200F every single time. If my next piston/sleeve wears out around 2.5-4 gallons, I might stop preheating every time beyond the first gallon as it’s a nuisance.

So just to make sure i understand everything: - 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.

Been doing the same as this for 25 years and never had one failure or problem. 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

[@HONK3Y]

This is an old video, you probably wont see this comment, but thanks this helped me a lot.

[@neontetra1000]

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.

[@invisiblespeedrc]

Thats why you idle it a couple tanks first

[@mgaliciao]

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!

PS A its no problem to run engines in cold weather. Pre heat, and if you find your engine running cold wrap some fabric or paper around the cooling head

[@PSA78]

@@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.

[@LuCKyG931]

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.

I break in my engine in a bath of snake oil

[@davidbuhler9022]

😂👍🏻

[@michaelinzitari]

That’s a game on most Nokia phones. “Snake oil engine break in”

[@kawicepticon8866]

I’ll do it without shutting it off for about a gallon , run it pig rich on the hudy bench w a prop , get her hot like 250 w a heat gun run her for a min at that temp then hit it w on a cool setting to get her down to 120-130 then heat her back up repeat repeat repeat

[@magagarage7975]

Cheaper to just get a jet at this point.😂 running a rc10gt .15 at the moment. Seriously easier to get drugs than fuel..🥴

[@fhe3220]

When new run them a tittle on the rich side, they'll break in just fine.No need to put all that wear and tear on the engine.

Watch the video before commenting something this stupid

[@giannipetrocelli472]

Since 30 years I do the same breakin. This oilbath shit is a waste of time. Do one fueltank in stand and 4 fueltanks rich idled on the track. 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.

[@davelowets]

I agree... Break-in is everything when it comes to a successful running nitro engine, and an oil bath isn't going to do fuck all for it. Get the motor in the car, have some patience, do it correctly, and you'll be rewarded with an excellent running, easy to tune, reliable, powerful engine. Screw up the break-in, and your engine WILL SUCK for the rest of it's pathetic life.

[@seeker0587]

Adam drake disagrees. Lol. Results don’t lie. Sure you can do it yourself. Drake does it for professionals and they win races. You can do it yourself and have fun in club races, break in matters that much.

[@EDCandLace]

Couldn't agree more, break in is mega important for life span and performance.

[@invisiblespeedrc]

No because he just uses the oil bath method. Anyone can do that.

[@Elephantnuts]

I have no clue on what he is doing

[@Tyemuck18]

It's weird hearing someone make sense you could've spoke Spanish and I would've caught every word.

[@blameusa7082]

you must have a super crappy heat gun, mine would have melted that in 2secsonds

[@invisiblespeedrc]

Its not a competition

[@AJYZF1R2010]

Yup I’m sticking with electric 😂 this is ridiculous just wanna send it

[@3DFLYLOW]

35 minutes to explain a simple break in procedure. Oof!

[@magagarage7975]

Fuel cost is insane, that's my issue. 5 tanks is about how much i have burned in five years. Last i checked it was 37 dollars a gallon,$old 75 plus miles away and is illegal to transport in my left wing state. I hear it's near 50.oo now. Thanks to brandon the commie.

[@rhec4208]

Let’s simplify this idle for two full tanks quarter throttle third tank half throttle fourth tank third throttle fifth tank full throttle six tank than tune from there works perfect

[@invisiblespeedrc]

Thats the dumbest thing I ever heard

[@samw2768]

Has this guy ever wondered single race? NO!

[@invisiblespeedrc]

What?

[@fredrikg934]

​@@invisiblespeedrcHe is very rude to comment in this way.

[@ceff01]

this is not normal way this is his way and very complex, will put people off nitro rc. This is just taking ages and will get same results as driving slow with 5 tanks and idle

[@invisiblespeedrc]

No it won't you idiot
