Preparing a brand new Nitro RC Truck requires a few steps to get the truck set up properly.

Plan to spend about an hour.  Your engine is brand new and needs to be primed and broken in properly to adjust from new-factory mode to lubricated and ready for abuse mode (and you will abuse it – that's the fun part!).

If you live at high altitudes like we do (Colorado), it took a 3-second adjustment of a screwdriver to adjust the 'lean' setting of the fuel.  Just a 1/2 turn (the manual shows you how, very easy).

The steps are broken into 5 distinct cycles, each one using up a full tank of fuel.  Resist the dark-side temptation to blast full throttle and charge up hills — you need to break the engine in so you have it purring like it should.  Just do it right — you'll be glad you did…
