RTFM. Charge your starter battery and follow the break-in instructions.

Lighten up, man. It was a joke. See my sig? seriously, You don't need anything besides some fresh batteries and some patience during the break-in. Keep it rich for a few extra tanks past the break-in and tune it to RIP! This hobby is all about fun.

My bad. I have heard something about centering the servos and adjust so the carb opens fully and etc. Is this post break-in or what?

no you need to center the servos before you do anything otherwise you wont be able to control the truck. you wont need the throttle to open all the way on the first couple of tanks but i would go ahead and adjust it anyways

Maybe consider heat cycling instead of the recommended Traxxas break-in. Essentially the traxxas procedure but get the engine above 200 for 1 to 2 mins and allow it to fully cool. Repeat over and over, increasing the duration each time a little.

Check the rear pipe wire hangar, be sure it's really tight. My header coupler riped on me pretty quick cause that wire was not tight.

Get at least one extra glow plug so you don't have to end your day because your only one stops working. Yes, center your servos. I didn't do mine and it always pulled to the left no matter what.
