    WD-40 is the worst after run oil to use as it isn’t oil but is mostly naphtha and kerosene which will evaporate. It’s a good cleaner tho. I use Marvel Mystery oil mixed with ATF. 80/20 mix. You can also use Marvel Mystery Oil and WD-40 80/20 mix. The MMO is the oil that protects and the ATF or WD-40 displaces any moisture which would cause rust. The ATF has detergents in it which help keep things nice and shiny. Your bearings will last much longer this way.

      Thanks, just be sure to read the owners manual, I’m bad about not doing that, I’ve been running electric Rc’s for so long that I don’t even bother anymore with reading anything out of the box, nitro is a whole other animal! It’s exciting to try out the other side of the hobby! It just takes a little more patience and maintenance but nothing too difficult, o and one other thing, don’t mess with the tuning needles until you fully break it in, you will be tempted too but don’t lol trust me🤙

      @@rcreviews9894 Yeah I too have only ever played about with electric ones. This is my first proper go at using Nitro, it seems a bit daunting but very fun at the same time. I’ll be triple checking the instructions more than likely on the break in of the engine but I’m really looking forward too it!

      So what did you think? It’s not that complicated is it? Now when things start to wear out and break down then I might have a different view on it lol, I’m not the most patient person to be honest, I’m hoping that this side of the hobby will help me with that, so far though I’m having a blast, You should give it a try when your ready it’s a lot of fun, o by the way I noticed you responded to my message but when I went to read it, it was gone??

I really like a lot of things about these nitros but I'm like you and not sure I have the patience for all the little extra things involved.

    FYI if you put your air filter in a sandwich baggy then poor some oil in it then massage the filter in the bag. This works very well plus you do not get any oil on your hands !!!😁😁😁

    I have a tmaxx 2.5 and I’m wondering after the 3 shots of wd-40 into the carb and glow plug hole do you flip the model upside down to get any extra wd-40 out or no

    • @rcreviews9894
      @rcreviews9894  2 года назад

      Sometimes but it’s not necessary, The most important thing is before you cycle the wd40, make sure to purge out any remaining fuel from the fuel lines by turning on the Rc and using the Ez- start for a few seconds to get any access fuel out, this was my first nitro, I’m hooked lol, just picked up the slash 3.3 and I’m loving it! The unboxing is here on the channel, maiden run coming soon! Thanks for watching 👍

      Yes i did, there is an optional nimh hump pack for the rustler, Traxxas part #3037, it’s around 30 dollars, it will save you having to constantly replace batteries, it works with the rustler and the Tmaxx 🤙
