Dude wrap it in foil, leave hole for igniter. Turn idle up half a turn from factory, let idle 2 1/2, 3 tanks. Leave foil on 1 or 2 tanks easy adjustments runnin round, then take off foil n go, Picco's website breaks it down the best. Basically what I've done/followed forever

I don't know how much money you've got to burn, but I don't think a break-in service that probably costs near as much as that RTR engine is worth it.

Do some research on break-in videos. The procedure doesn't change a whole lot just because it is winter; what changes the most is your attention to monitor the temperature.

I broke my motor in last winter similar to this and it's still going strong. If you don't have a temp gauge then get one and make sure you keep heat in it.220ish should suffice. If you must send it out then for sure go with clockworkracing. Top notch people. Good luck and have fun

do some research and run it! Break in service cost at least 1/2 the cost of the engine, plus shipping...

Thats damn cheap Monty! It would be worth it for me on my next motor to send it back to the US or have it shipped to you then for you to ship it to me Will remember that on my next engine

Would have instead of the Bonitto, but when I broke my piston in the other engine I needed one now Had a race the next weekend. I was really looking forward to the x5fm Hopefully next time I need an engine I won't need it in a week. With parts availability I will probably be going with one of your NOVA engines instead of the other just "in case" I run into an unforeseeable problem as there is one authorized nova distributor in Vietnam
