I have had mine for 8 months or so now. Nothing broken yet. I am putting hop-ups on though, trying to get a little bling bling out of it.

I use after run oil, some people use WD 40. I prefer to use after run myself.

I think Manchester is 2 hrs from me. There is a place about 1 hr from me maybe 1 hr 15 or 30 min from you. Wakefield has a good ff road ralley cross, I love going there myself but have not been for couple months. Only open on Sundays. Cant go any other day. But it is a real track, behind an Inn called The Nook.

Let me know if you go there.

No age limit far as I know. I like the people. I am now starting to get more into electric touring cars now because how cold it is.

A lot of people here use muc off. It depends for me. If it is just mud. I use a squirt bottle and after soak an area, I blast it with my air compressor. Then once done, I take the car a part and wash everything by hand piece by piece. Best way for me.

I usually idle through 4 tanks tanks then do a slow gradual process of blipping the throttle and around 7 - 8 tank let it rip. That is what a lot of people I know do.

The manual should tell you how hot you should or not allow - in the beginning I try to keep it in the low 200's

It shouldnt if it was just warm. Next time when you solder, disconnect the servo first.

I have a set of those - test them to see - I think for break and throttle it is fine. But I personally dont like them on the steering. I like something with more torque myself.

my manual does not tell you what temp your engine should be at when running in
do you just let it get as hot as it wants like one tank runnig and then let cool down or somthing
