Recommended oil concentration?

And the owner manual says to just drive it around being easy on it. Everything I've seen on youtube and everywhere else has a considerably longer break in routine. I want the best life outta this car but I've also seen the company usually has the break in procedure spot on (traxxas especially)

Whatcha think guys?

Thank you! I've seen some of the previous posts on oil so I knew it was definitely personal opinion.

I'm so stoked to get home lol

Break it in at 25:1 then run it at 30:1.
40:1 is too lean at the revs these things pull not at all like your weed wacker etc.
 
Well she runs fantastic lol

Little groggy on lower end. Is that from the stock pipe?

Do you guys typically have to mess with high and low needles? I know my nitros are a 24/7 tune some days

It's on stock settings do it's probably rich. I don't usually mess with the needles, once it's tuned you won't need to adjust it much. Only if Theres a large change in temp, humidity ECT.
