+1, what you do is in essence the same as running it with load...same principle just easier your way....

Remember dreaux, you can never harm a well heated engine..Just dont heat it to much! NEVER PASS 250!!

also remember that its supposed to be fun..If you get all caught up in the cost..it won't be fun anymore, and you will prematurely destroy an engine if you don't learn what to do..that's why you will never see an experienced Nitro guy recommend a $300-$500 engine for a Newbie..It's power you cant control, and precision you will not need, or care for properly..Unless you take the time to learn it all first...trust us, we have all been there and done that
