Mostly i do break in and 1 race with the original conrod.
After that i change them around 6 litres.
The plus engines have such a pinch it's smart to change the first conrod earlier because of break in.
Some people change the conrod and keep it for break in of another engine.
I think that's really risky because you change the conrod of the heavy load it had during break in and then you going to re use it?.
Plus it already is worn in on the other crank pin.

So here's my not so short report on my R3RC...
I finished breaking it in yesterday at 301 raceway (amazing facility) and decided to run the club race with it.
During break in, the temperature was at 170-190 and not until the last two tanks did it even break 200 degrees which was new to me. After the complete break in, I tuned it a bit for the first qual but the highest temp was 223 with 20% Trinity fuel. Then a friend at the track gave me 25% Byron's to try out. Right away, temp went back to 180%+, never expected that to happen. So I ran one qual with it thinking I had a good tune but it was way too rich, took forever to shift.
For the next race I got a good tune and all of the sudden, I'm
I pulled into the straight a few seconds after my buddy running a stock R3 and somehow, I made it out first
not to mention the down low power pulled me down the technical parts of the track with ease.
I'm a B-main driver at best right now and at big races might end up in C-main but I love having this kind of power. I started out 11th of 12 racers and by lap 3, I was in second place. I could literally count the cars as I was blowing by them.
Top temperature was 220 degrees, I'm switching to Byron's 25% (needless to say I guess). I ran with the original conrod although I'm going to switch it, and Jamie you got a PM coming.
