Default Forgot to use After Run

Hey guys.

The last time I used my Duratrax Evader ST I crashed it into a bush, flipped it, and broke the rear suspension tower. I left the engine running until it was out of nitro, and left it on the table. I told myself that I would put after run in it later when I got home from work. Well, here we are almost two months later, and I just realized that I forgot to put in after run oil.

Is there reason to suspect that my engine has suffered substantial damage? Or should one time of forgetting not hurt the engine? Is there anything I should do, aside from putting the oil in now, that I should do to check the health of the engine?

I am worried I may have just ruined the engine.

Any thoughts on this issue would be helpful. Thanks.
