after run oil, lol. they say you can use wd40 or auto trans fluid but i would just use good old after run oil.

newdoughboy

The thing about after run oil for me is that I don't need any. My fuel specificly say DO NOT APPLY AFTER RUN OIL AFTER USE. It has built in stuff so I wouldn't need to use after run oil after run. It is pretty sweet, save me lots of time.

what brand of fuel is it? i have wild cat because it was the cheapest and it was red. i like red. and it was my uncles idea. he has an old hpi touring car.

sidewinder i think says not to use after run. i still would, any fuel that contains nitro can and will attract moisture, its always a good idea to use after run, not to mention its cheap, a bottle will last a very long time. its a small investment for piece of mind.

i'm going on a camping trip with some of my dad's college buddies and their kids that are my age. 4 gokarts, 16 guys, 8 4-wheelers, and one nitro rc. i'll let you all know if i invite newcomers to try the hobby out. i'll tell em' to get a tornado like me.

newdoughboy

Spread the joy of RCing!

gokartingbob455

i'm back. i might of gotten an fat bald guy to get one but im not sure yet. just so everybody knows, flipping a 4-wheeler is not fun. i don't think i've ever seen a man flip a 4-wheeler and laugh the whole time falling (until friday.) it's nothing but dirt, rocks, hills, mud, trails, and tree roots. my tornado only stopped 3 times cause i was goin full speed and hit a roots all the time and it would do cartwheels. then i would get my friends to judge how bad the crash was (i got 9.5 most of the time) the car ran great nothing broke although i way hcae to re adjust the wing a little bit

brandon32689

Thats kool man, have you had time to break in the cars yet lol. I am still planning on getting the truck next week if everything goes right!

newdoughboy

I was driving my finally fixed E-volcano, IN THE RAIN, so I go through a big puddle twice and then the engine stops. I give it a few more trys and gave up. After a few seconds i hear fizzing and my car is smoking up and filled the inside of the body. And now my ESC has melted. NEVER DRIVING IN WET WEATHER AGAIN. Those of you who drive in the snow, how do you keep your electronics from frying? And how about the ESC? it gets hot so I am having difficulty thinking of a way to cover it up without having the cover melted over the esc.

ehroof

water and electric dont mix, i suggest just not running it, 9 times out of 10, not matter what you do, something is going to happen when you run in rain, snow, water.

ehroof

hey brandon, i got home late last night, 12:30 and it snowed and rained all day today so no break in or running, i will this week. i just started working on a video for the new lcd radios but i didnt finish it yet. let me know how it goes with getting the avalanche.

brandon32689

oh really that sucks man! lol what is the lcd radios? so how has work been? busy for me sucks and i still havent had time to order my starter lol. i think i am going to just order it when i do the truck so it will all be same shipping and all lol. oh but i did find a hoby shop closer and they sell stuff but they were out of ignitors lol go figure but it is still about 35 min away but not bad

brandon32689

hey ehroof how you doing? me just got out of work and about to go to school. sucks! but i think i am going to order all my stuff tomorrow!

ehroof
