Just one question when you say "do this twice " what do you mean? 2 tanks or two 2 mins cycles

Next engine...i wanna try the WOT(wide open throttle) style of running-in the engine. they usually done it in 10 minutes.
they keep putting fuel while the glow starter is still attached. thats sure fast.
i think InitialD doin this style WOT and Goldfinger...and i know Joehwee from singapore also doing it. [i maybe mistaken someone else!

After that either one more tank idling or on road 1/2 throttle rich, tons of smoke then stop half tank.let it cool. start and let it hot reach 100deg, cool back...cool, hot,cool, hot. all the while the while leaning a bit by bit...until 1 litre, i think. well, thats me. Now my engine is still in good shape...my NovaMax P5. Now using #6Tf plug.

They used a type of brass which was softer than the Titanium and steel for the pins. These were removable and held by set screw. The brass being softer will wear out first but it will be gradual instead of over a days running. They were made by Smitty for the Yokomo. The reason for less wear is that a softer material being used as the driven part will act like a cushion and absorb the sudden impact (same reason pinions are alloy and spurs are plastic).

Correct and not correct.
It depends what type of Ti you use. Most types of Ti are softer than Steel (6AL-4V for a starter which is the most common Ti used in R/C cars). The problem is using the Ti correctly. For instance, you cant use Ti outdrives with steel pin dogbones as these will just cut through the Ti outdrives in a matter of runs. yet you can use the steel outdrives and use Ti dogbones without any great deal of wear over a full year.
Probably because the titanium dogbones use steel pins (or at least the ones I had did). And you can't get them out to replace them as you can with the steel ones.

I've raced Electric TC for a couple years and know that I had to stock C-hub and Steering block spares.
What will I need on the 710? Any common breakage?

Thanks!
I actually haven't built the kit yet. If there are any things that it would help to know up front before building the kit I would like to know. I'm trying to research the car a little to learn about it before building.
