Does any one know where to get the short drive shafts for this truggy, the suspension seems to be available everywhere, but the shafts are out of stock every place, I have looked. Also does any one have some advice on breaking in Nitro/Gas engines, as far as the temps to start and length of time befpre you can matt the throttle. I'm shure it's a bit different between company, and sizw, but there must be a general rule of thumb. Spykells

A good general break in method is the "Heat Cycle" method (Google heat cycle break in for full details). Basically you need to pre-heat your engine with something like a heat gun to about 100 degrees celcius, then start the engine and run it for a tank ensuring you can maintain the heat ( don't let it fully run out though as it will lean out too much ). Then let the engine cool down with the piston at bottom dead centre, and continue process until engine is fully run in. You will find that as you burn fuel, and the engine breaks in, you will have to lean it out more and more. Depending on your type of engine and fuel will dictate how long your break in process will take. My last race .21 engine (Ninja B02, made by OS) took about 4 litres before I could put a race tune on it to finish the process.

A couple of important tips:

Run the engine in on the same fuel you plan to use all the time,

Ensure you maintain at least 100 degrees temp during run in, so as you can "break" the pinch between the piston and sleeve. Use alluminium foil around the cylinder head if needed to help maintain heat.

Hope that helps you get started

Can you be more specific have you a part number or a picture of what you need?WWD
