In this video, using the Vertex .18 Nitro Engine as an example, learn how to break in the engine using the 5 tank standard break in procedure as recommended by many leading R/C Manufacturers. Check my tuning videos, How to Tune a Nitro Engine, to learn how to Tune the engine after the break in process is completed.

First start of a Nitro Engine Tutorial? - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Awesome Vid! I just bought that engine for my rebuilt buggy! Hope it runs good!
VX are good engines !
Those are great cheaper end engines to run
This vid has helped I have just ordered a vx-18 so I’m looking forward to breaking it in and getting it going
Have fun!
Is the break in the same for the marine vertex 18?
I just got a new vx 18 engine and it didn't come with settings for the hsn and lsn(its not starting up), could you tell me the settings you run at?
Hey JT12's R/C I was just wondering what your thoughts on the HSP brand are? I just got one of there on road nitro cars about a week ago and I usually drive traxxas short course nitro trucks so I'm not to sure what the quality is on HSP products if you could let me know what your opinion is that would be amazing thank you in advance.
They are good for beginners to learn with but lots of work with repairs!
since your in England and have easier access to Maverick RC can you review anything from them? been following your channel 3years now even whilst you were on hiatus keep the RC vids coming Josh👍
Yes I will check em out :)
How did you get the drill start to go In there
Hi I have the Nanda BD8 1/8th scale nitro RC car but it's running Ruth it's blowing fuel out of the exhaust and won't rev up when I I've it too much throttle it dies, what does that mean and how do I fix the problem. thanks great videos keep up the good work
Check my tuning tutorials
Hi great video there, but please i need the engine mount you use for the VX. 18 engine as a spare part
i am quite confused with all this engine mounts at ebay i dont know which is the right one
Please help
Thank you !!!
If you kept your manual the part number for the engine mount should be in it
i found the manual online but it doesn't mention the screws it needs to mount it to the chassis.The ebay engine mount has the screws to mount the engine on but not the ones needed for the chassis.If you know the numbers for example M3x10 or M3x12 it would be helpful.
Thank you
Hey buddy so I bought so a box of rcs what kind of truck is that mine looks just like it w/o the body has the vx18 double shocks front and back get back to me plz
I like it
I have the same engine and sort of truck. I didn't understand why it wasn't starting but then you said the low speed needle I'll try that when I get it out again. I just installed a new engine on it as well, but the fuel won't go through the lines into the carb.
Jake Is your high speed needle even open?

How do I tell when my .18 vxc nitro engine is broken in?
Where do you get those lipo ignitors? as I can only seem to find ones with built in lipo and one with banana clips?

Boba Fett cheers
It's a prolux easy glow, check out wheelspinmodels.co.uk
Thanks a lot
Should I touch the low speed needle as the idle gap is really low and it has a high rpm and the wheels are spinning at idleing and thus is during the breaking it's fine but wasn't sure to touch it to make it safer
Try the pinch test in regards to the LSN before you adjust it.
JT12's R/C Videos I've richened it and it's pretty fine now takes about 5 secs to die but wheels do move faster when engine warms up a bit but not seriously wasn't sure if it gets better over time as it's still new engine but thanks for your help love the videos new to this hobbies loving it already 😊
All engines run better once fully broken in give it time and it'll run sweeeeeet
What is LSN and HSN settings for break in vx18? Thanks
The settings it comes with! :)
How long does it take to go through a tank of fuel? Love the vids by the way
Nitro RC Leeboy 25 mins calm and sometimes full throttle. 18 mins quite fast. 10 mins crazy driving
NITRO-RC!!! Thanx for the info. Had mine a while now and really enjoying it.
Nitro RC Videos cool man!! Enjoy it!!
I have a Rex x 1/8 scale and it pulls away on its own , How do I prevent this?
The braking also doesn't work
Anyone have tips on this? : tmaxx 3.3.... after speed , engine revs high until it slows down...
is this too lean or too rich? i do see decent amount of smoke
Same issue with my T-Maxx 3.3!
Pilot Paul I fixed it for me... low speed needle was way too lean
Ok... Ill try richening it.
Could you send me a link to where you got your igniter plz.
Jw13's rc you know you can get your igniter from anywhere if you just search it.... go on google and type rc glow igniter, it should be less then 10 dollars
It's a prolux easy glow check www.wheelspinmodels.co.uk
Thanks I found it and it had alligator clips for the connection where as yours has a li po connector did you change the connections
Yes. Well on the old one I did. New one I still need to. For now the clips fit into the ends of a deans connection battery.
Você tem cara de se bem fresco
Why does it go so slow but rev so high, would think a nice rc car like that would go faster
All Goped first of all, nitro engines literally rev over 10,000 rpm. Also he was breaking it in which he was going slow on purpose. That thing will go over 30 MPH easily. U have to tune the carburetor to make it faster and get the full performance out of it. Hopefully that explains.
you should keep making this exact car and sell them on modelsport or hobbyking
It looks quite sweet aye? :)
JT12's R/C Videos yup
do other thinks dont do exacly the same think in every video....
I've got loads on the way. I've been doing loads of different things lately! Keep tuned in :)
Can you do a shout out
Is there a reason everyone completely ignores the break in process recommended by the company that makes the engine? even though they have probably spent a small fortune on R&D and testing to make sure it works?
High quality race tuned engines then maybe. But Chinese made VX engines I highly doubt they have spent any money nevermind a small fortune on research so therefore I always follow and promote a method that's worked well for me :) have you seen the instructions that come with engines like this? They are barely readable in english.
I was asking because i've just ordered an LRP zr30 and don't want to bugger it.
Also, when it refers to number of tanks worth of fuel, is it referring to a standard fuel tank size? think mine is a 250ml one.
250cc is quite a large tank so that's almost double what I'd consider to be a "standard" tank. However still do a full tank's worth, won't harm to go OTT with each stage
Cindarr ....38 years in this hobby...planes...heli...cars...new motors fuel n go!!!never had a problem....never did a so called break in!!not needed!!!!
Been in this hobby for 38 years.airplanes/cars/trucks/helis.......new out of box fuel and go ....none of this so called break in!!!!!!I never had a problem....it's a scam
I doubt it's a scam, who would benefit from it?
that little engine is gonna hall ass
It seems to have loads of power!
thats good. cant wait to see the bashing video
This so called break in is not needed!!!!!!
Mike Secondo shut up. Prove it
Okay. Start your rc and tune it just right and run it full speed. Lets see how long it lasts. 🤣 ofcourse run in is needed.
You must break in a new engine
