Status: offline 		That's the oil you put in the engine at the end of the day when you are done running the car. You run it out of fuel at the end of the day and put about 4 or 5 drops in the carb and give the pull cord a few pulls to throw it around in the engine. If you don't use after run oil when you are done running then the inside of the engine will rust from sitting with no oil in it.

Status: online 		dont use wd40, use after run oil, wd40 just displaces the water doesnt absorb it, only traxxas reccomends to use it. A bottle of after run costs a couple of dollars and will last a long time. nitro fuel attracts water if left over time in an engine so you want something that will get rid of it, not just move it around.

Status: offline 		You can use transmission fluid for after run oil also it the same thing.

F.Y.I. there no such thing as an oil that removes water, all oils pretty much displace water since oil and water don't mix, there is no way for oil to remove water, it basically displaces the water off of the metal parts.


As long as you are using some sort of thin oil that will coat the metal good you will be good to go. I personally have used WD-40 (fish oil based), 3 in 1 oil, transmission fluid, 5w10 and of course after run oil. THey all produced the same effect, keep the inside pristeen and clean, rust free easy to start next time. I actually have customers that use all sorts of different oils for after run oil and none of them have had a problem. Just make sure you are using some sort of oil when you are done running for the day.

Status: online 		well bro, you can use it in your stuff, but i will use after run oil in my stuff, just because you do it doesnt make it right. why would you want to give bad information to peope, especially people who are new to the hobby, why not just give them the proper information.

Status: offline 		Don't start that crap over here. I'm not gonna play games with you any more like back in the day, you can go around pushing what ever garbgage you want. Just let it spew that's fine. Obviously you don't know what the properties of oil are or else you wouldn't be going around telling people that it makes the water "go away"(whatever that means).

Status: online 		?? after run oil is designed to use in nitro engies "hence the name" after you run them. WD40 is not, plain and simple. No where on the can does it say to install or put into a nitro engine. why not just tell people the PROPER information and use after run oil? I dont think thats starting trouble.
