First Real Run

[loaba]

My buddy and I finished break-in today and did some balls out running this afternoon.

After-Run process was cleaning the car with compressed air and removing large debris with fingers. After that, I sprayed the throttle opening and glow-plug opening with WD-40. Reconditioned the filter as well.

So that's it, did I miss anything? I mean, how clean does this thing need to me?

Thanks for any input. - jon

Make sure you oil the air filter before you first real run and after that, usually oil it every five tanks unless you see that it is dirty.

You should also look into after run oil instead of WD-40. I've had engines gum up on me using WD-40 instead of ARO and letting them sit for more than a couple of weeks.

I used Traxxas foam filter oil. We only used the WD-40 on the engine and carb (only then to clean it out. Ran the starter with the glow plugb off so as to blow out the thing.)
