I got my Revo today from HobbyTownUSA. It's nice and all, and I am just having some trouble breaking in the Revo, and I have some questions.
Well today I got it started, and everything went fine from the start. But when I was breaking it in with the first tank of gas, I was doing what I was told:
"Hold trigger down for two full seconds, then let go. Do this until the tank is almost empty."
When I was doing that, I am supposed to leave it on the ground, and let it move, right? Not on a stand, correct?

And here are some other questions I had:
1. Do you all/did you all follow the exact break-in procedure? Or did you change some things?
Yes. I followed the break in procedure from the manual to the very letter of the law. Engine has now seen over 2 gallons, still goes as strong (if not stronger) as the day i got it broken in.
2. Is there a distance that I should stay from the car with my radio? The servos were going up and down when I wasn't touching anything at all. Is this normal? How do I prevent this from happening?
3. How do you know when to replace batteries for your servos, and your radio?
4. Does the car have some type of stock failsafe? If the car runs out of battery, will the servos close the carb? Or will it stay open?
5. Do any of you Revo owners have a failsafe in your car? Is it reccommended?
All of your help is greatly appreciated. I am getting back into this hobby after about four years, and I'm excited to have gotten a Traxxass truck w/EZ start- what I've wanted since the beginning.

Break in Gas Burner
Hi
zahirjooma, This is how I broke in my Gasoline burner. <SCRIPT type=text/javascript> vbmenu_register("postmenu_2891978", true); </SCRIPT> Some people say no break in, but I would & did. BASIC CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT: & Break In
I would not use a synthetic oil until after break-in, the following is how I broke in my FG:
1. Heat cycle the engine about 3 times (start it, let it warm up, then cut it off and allow it to cool.)
2. Now you can run it, do not run the truck at full throttle, apply the throttle in and out, at this point you want to vary the load on the engine no more then 1/4 throttle, (Do this for the first two tanks of fuel, you can get a little more aggressive on the second tank, but do not hold the truck at full throttle).
3. After the 2nd tank you can let her rip! Idle RPM 4000RPM+or-300RPM (H) is1.1/2 +or-1/4 & (L) is1.1/4 +or-1/4. As I said earlier, the standard settings are just a guide line and most carbs have to be adjusted, if you feel that your no-load (L) or your full load (H) screws are completely misadjusted, then carefully close both screws. Then turning them anti clockwise follow the settings that are listed above. Screwing them out make's it richer. I started off with the L set at 1&1/4 from seated & the H at 1&1/2. Part's are easy to get from online
