Engine Break-in
VImportant:
HPI engines will feel tight at the top of their stroke when they are new or when they have not reached
their normal operating temperatures. The piston and cylinder sleeves are designed to achieve proper
running tolerances when they are properly broken in and are operating at the correct temperature.
New engines need a break in period of about 3 to 4 tanks of fuel before they can be run at Full throttle,
if not the engine could be damaged.
