F-35 RTF: Breaking in the Motor
Hi everyone,
I just purchased the F-35 from Nitro Models for 128 on sale. Now it's up to 155 on Nitro, and 179 on Raiden. Glad I ordered it last night! Anyway, I've been reading about breaking in the motor, and I was wondering if since this is an RTF model I do not have to break it in ( I know, wishful thinking, especially for a cheaper plane). I read that you solder some 12 gauge wire to your motor and let it run at 50% for an hour or two. Is this correct, and if so, I the heck do I do it? Thanks !

IMO, All engines need a break-in period.
*EDIT* I thought it was a nitro engine... sorry.
