Wd-40

Thanks everyone... I bought the canned air and it does work good to clean dirt out around the glow plug. The canned air came in a 2 pack, so I used the extra straw to drip the ARO into the head. Now I can let my rig sit and not feel that I HAVE to run it everyday..
 
Don't listen to him, now that you have after run oil, you can start keeping it clean and storing it on the shelf!
 
Ok guy's I am not a nitro guy, but does WD-40 hurt the motor in any way ? When I had My 3.3 Revo I would spray it in the motor every time I ran the truck. Seems it would be hard to start when I used AFRO, so I used WD-40 thats what one of the guy at the track said to do.

Traxxas actually recommends WD-40, if you don't have ARO. I have noticed just the opposite with my 3.3. I had a harder time starting it after treating it with WD-40 compared to ARO. I used WD-40 with the first 2 gallons of fuel and just recently bought some ARO, I wonder if the engine being new and still tight was causing my issue. I also noticed a lot more hydro lock with the WD-40 (I might have been using too much). I'm on my 3rd gallon and it seems easier to start. To make a long story short....... I have no idea. :hehe:
 
This is what Traxxas says to do... It wasn't untill they guys in here schooled me that I actually listened...
I don't know how readable the pic will be here but here goes...
