Had mine back last saturday mate. Kept it to 3500 rpm until 700 miles, now its up to 4000 rpm. On 900 miles at the mo, gonna knock it up to 4500 after 1000 miles. Thats the beauty of the Apexi Power FC, you can adjust your rev limiter as you like, so you can't accidently exceed the limits you set. Be careful though as you've only got crappy oil in it at the mo, so only peak at these revs now and again, as the oil they put in it for running in can't cope with the higher temperatures. Can't wait til its all finished running in, as you can feel the potential of the engine but you have to hold back all the time....torture! It'll be worth it in the end though, as you'll benefit from a better engine once its been run in properly.
