I'm new to nitro

[Andrew1014]

so I hear after run oil is fantastic, I']m buying some soon when I get it where do I put it and how many drops? I saw some kid on youtube pud WD-40 in under the gloww plug, pull the pullstart cord a few times then wipe the excess off then put ARO in. is that correct?

What should I take note of in regards of making it last a long time? caring for it and such.


I got a duratraxx Raze buggy.

Thank you very much guys

Well,
After Run Oil, is nice thich rich liquid to prevent any rust buildup inside. So, everytime you run the buggy, bring it in, take out the plug and put in like 4 or 5 drops. Then some people put a cloth over the hole and turn it over a few times, (pull the pull start rope) then plug the glowplug back in. Or just put the glowplug back in and turn it over it all works.
Thats that for ARO.
As for making it last long,
Make sure u watch your temperatures while running it, NEVER EXCEED 270. But 250 is around what i usually run at. Use after run oil, thats pretty much it. Clean the head every once ina while from the dust that gets into it
Thats all
Good Luck

do some searches on here for tuning and maintaining a nitro and read the "sticky" in the forums.

Most ARO oil that I've seen suggest you put it in the carb (usually 4-5 drops) and then cycle the motor a few times. I'm with 'Mido', I like to also put a few drops in the cylinder and then cycle it.

WD-40 is fine to use also, it's just a lot messier and goes flying everywhere when you cycle the motor since it's much thinner than ARO. I used it for a long time, but got tired of the mess it seemed to make.
