RE: after running put any thing in engine
my mystery oil stuff has been around before they even thought about rc stuff has i guess its a southern thing ha ha ha it is just a lube and gas additive i guy told me about it back in the eighties he would put it in boats he said he had used it for a long time so some other people told me at some tracks in the early ninties so i have always used it so i guess as long as something is in there then its alright jerome

after running put any thing in engine
i was wondering any of you new people thats into these cars and trucks that after you run it is best to put marvel mystrey oil in the carb and spin the motor overto lube the cylinder now when you go to crank it back up it might take a couple of more pulls but it saves your motor they probley sell some thing else from the hobby store but this is what i use you can get it at walmart and automotive stores its like 2 or 3 bucks for a good size bottle i just take the filter off and just pur maybe half a cap full in it but it really does help so try it if any body else have any suggestions post it on here thanks .jerome.

RE: new to the tornado xl worth the money
has any one heard of putting marval mystrey oil in tha carb and turn the motor to ciculate it into the motor after you run it it takes a couple of more cranks to re start it back up but it save your motor maybe that is something to think about for some of the newer guys that just starting out .............jerome...........

RE: Welcome Redcat Racing
i just take the arm i want to make and lay it on the metal i want to use and trace it out i just trace the outside edge i dont cut any of the holes or any thing because you dont need to but aliluinim is soft so i cut it out with a jig saw and then take a dremel to get in the small corners i have bought some real hard plastic and done this also i make my own shock towers and bead locks out of colored fiberglass i got at my old job it just save money and i like doing that kind of stuff i dont have pics but i will try to figure it out on here and try to put some on here in the few days thanks ...jerome........
