Ok started my break in of my 21 PRO Go-Tech 7P+2.

I let it idle for two tanks with the temps on the head never exceeding 160 F with a average of maybe 145 or so.

The exhaust header had a max temp of maybe 175F right next to the exhaust port on the engine.

Through this whole 2 tanke I had to tip the buggy over to get the excess fuel out of the pipe because it was wanting to pool up in there.

To add I am running ODNNELL High Performance 30% racing fuel throughtout the entire break-in process. This fuel seems to burn much better than the fuel (traxxas 20%) I am used to in my Traxxas vehicles. (yes I am a recent graduate from the rtr crowd but yet I still ove my Slayer)

I have a few questions about my motor. I am unsure if it is the newer style. Where exactly do I measure at to get the correct reading.

What carb restrictor should I start out with. I will be using a Dynimate Platinum 053 pipe, I was thinking maybe the gold 6.5. Till I learn to drive the beast well. It came with a black plastic one, orange 6.5, silver 7.0, blue 7.5, and the red 8.0.

Secondly what does it mean by 7P+2 I thought it was just a 7 port engine. Are there different ones.

I did take the engine apart and clean it but it looked very good. I would of been ok to not of even doing it.




Lastly I am going to have to wait till I finish assembling the new buggy to proceed with the next steps of the break in procedure. Is this going to hurt anything. I did afterrun procedure and used afterrun oil.
