I ran today and will run again tomorrow. Do I need to perform my normal after run maintenance (engine after run oil, filter wash and oil) ? Thanks.
 
I would just drop a drop or two down the glo hole and give it a couple tugs on the pull yanker.

As for the filter, depends on how ROUGH a day you had. If its all caked up I would. If not, then you should be fine.
 
if I'm gunna run the next day i dont put any ARO in but if its going to be more than 3 days till i run again ill use some ARO.
 
how do you guys usually get your after run oil into the cylinder. mine only came wit a little dropper and i can get the drops to fall into the cylinder?

AS Çh®i§tiªñ said, Pulll the glow plugg out(be careful to not let dirt fall in) and put a drop or two down in there and turn it over real smooth and slow.
 
ya but i can't get it to fall into the cylinder it always lands on the little area around the outside of cylinder.

Get a small funnel or better accuracy. A straw, or a needle tip form a glue bottle or somethign could be used. Remeber this is RC, just make it work some how. Always think "What Would McGuyver Do?"

i was thinking some kind of fat tubing like a lot bigger diameter than a fuel line
 
Personally, I put it down the glow hole, but a lot of guys will tell you to put it in the carb to avoid getting dirt in the glow hole.

I'd suggest either getting an air compressor or canned air to first blow as much of the crud around the glow plug out before ever removing it.

I took an arosol can nossel extension (I know I butchered both of those words) and stuck it into the tip of my ARO bottle to get it in the glow hole.

Screw it, here's a pic:
