BTT, Bonito, Plus 4 Team, P5 (maybe, no personal experience) ect... Just have to use a low to mid venturi, and THROTTLE CONTROL

do it however you see fit , you will find out ways not to break in your engine in the interim of finding the "best" method

running my engine at half throttle for 30 min. then race tuning it is not what i consider a "proper" break in method if you want your engine to last , you do pay $$$ for your engines right?

Was helping a buddy with his P5 this weekend bought a double seal front bearing and a rear ceramic upon inspection his front bearing was solid with dirty actually could see the dirt pouring out when i was cleaning . Motor is under two gallons we plug the breather hole but I was shocked anyone running a P5 highly recommend a change out even if your bearing doesn't have issue. Byron's 11 percent oil is being used. I did mine early so I didn't see issues but I would inspect if your running a P5

So u recomend your way to the tee for a novarosi? How about castor oil? I run vp fuel 30 percent nitro. I beleive the oil conent is only 9.5 percent. Should i be concerend about this? Should i add oil to the gas for break in?

I've been doing research on my next engine. In which is my first "truggy engine". I've narrowed it down to the p5 or bonito. What are some of your experiences with both engines in a truggy? I've read both engines are workhorses! Thanks in advance..

keep an eye on that engine...even with a 17011 the issue will come right back..the 17011 helps for a bit, but its only just a bandaid .......

Hey Maximo,

??? Care to elaborate on what you mean? I will be receiving my P5 Wednesday afternoon and might be a little concerned that I ordered the wrong engine.
