Is there anything i need to do that isnt standard procider like putting in batterys charging reciver battery putting on antene ext. Is spur gear loose or anything?? How are these trucks holding up on jumps??? I plan on teaching mine a lesson unless its fragile. Let me know. Thanks..

Flush the tank with nitro or water, its your choice really. Personnally i would just use water, and dish soap. This comment here is interesting to me though. Fact is, there is a percentage of water in your nitro fuel. Which is why a motor left without WD40, or after run will rust when left on the shelf.

well, not exactly. what engine manufacturers say is that unburned liquid nito left in the engine will atract and condense water, causing rust and corrosion to form. which is why the revo manual says to kill the engine before the feul is completely out, allow the engine to cool, then, fire it back up to burn any fuel still in the tank, lines, and engine. after it stalls, restart many times until the engine no longer fires up at all. then add your after run oil, and hit the starter a few times to circulate the oil.
