WAIT UNTIL IT GETS WARM OUT I NEVER RUN NITRO IN THE WINTER..

GET A LIPO FOR YOUR ROTO START

BUY AN EXTRA GLOW PLUG

HEAT UP THE ENGINE WITH A HEAT GUN AND WRAP IT WITH FOIL

PUT IT ON A BUCKET OR SOME BLOCKS AND LET IT IDLE FOR THE FIRST TANK

IF NECESSARY YOU MIGHT HAVE TO INCREASE IDLE A BIT IF IT KEEPS DYING ON YOU

LET THE ENGINE COOL DOWN FOR 10 MINUTES IN BETWEEN TANKS

HPI SAYS FOR THE .28 YOU SHOULD LET THE ENGINE IDLE FOR 3 TANKS, ID DO THE TRAXXAS METHOD AND APPLY 1/4 THROTTLE FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN STOP AND REAPPLY FOR TANKS 2 TO 4

TANK 5 1/2 THROTTLE FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN STOP RE-APPLY

TANK 6 1/2 THROTTLE AND START GOING TOWARDS 3/4 THROTTLE WHEN ENGINE IS NICE AND WARM

TANK 7 IS WHERE I'D TUNE SINCE YOU'RE A NEW COMER

ALSO USE A GOOD FUEL BREAK IT IN WITH 20% NITRO AND ABOUT 14% OIL, THEN MOVE ON TO A GALLON OF 30% WITH 9% OIL VP IS CHEAP AND ITS THE BEST FUEL I'VE EVER USED IN MY 11 YEARS OF RC


MAKE SURE THE WHEELS CAN ROTATE FREELY WHEN DOING THE STATIC BREAK IN TANKS, YOU DON'T WANT TO BURN UP THE CLUTCH***
