RE: back into rc!
I'd put a few drops of oil down the carb/glow plug hole and cycle it first so you won't be dry scrubbing anything while trying to start it up.
Make sure nothing is lose, tighten all screws, especially ones prone to vibrations.
Check alignment, linkages, slop, batteries, proper controller operation.
I'd say then you're pretty much safe and good to go.

maybe you should consider getting a new reciever pack, due to the old age that it is in, if it does'nt seem to hold charge, GET A NEW ONE, the last thing you want is to be driving and the reciever dies, with the throt servo engaged, I don't think you are going to be getting your truck back[&o]
