Hi Guys Guess WHAT????? My fiancee decided to buy me a lst2 for my birthday :) my bday isnt till the 14th but she tried to buy one today after getting me to write my birthday wish list which numer 1 was a lst2 lol. Anyway she went to some hobby stores and couldnt find any that stock them so she asked for my help hehe. Im going to place the order tomorrow should have it around monday/tuesday next week. from www.megahobbies.com.au I think ill be set i already have a few spares and ive read so damb much about nitros i should know enough to get me started :) I think she got sick of the lst2 this lst2 that hehe Ill post some pics as soon as i get it before any i break it :) >I think she got sick of the lst2 this lst2 that hehe > > Ill post some pics as soon as i get it before any i break it :) And some after you've abused it ;-) Mine is presently sitting in about 500 pieces awaiting the new FLM Hybrid Bulkhead setup to arrive and allow me to shove this shiny new diff in...  SignatureDan - on his PC > Hi Guys > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > :) Make sure you have a few of the common break in spares, such as a couple of spare glowplugs and your glowstart and rotostart thing are charged ;) Also, break it in on whatever you plan to run it on fuel wise, and try do it somewhere flat and smooth so the engine isn't stressed - empty car parks are my breakin land of choice. More importantly, have fun :D SignatureDan - on his PC Cool Deal! Enjoy it, cause after your married she won't ever buy you another damn thing! LOL (Atleast that has been my case.) =) > Hi Guys > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > :) hahaha i get married on the 30th THIS MONTH NOW! ill keep buying her jewelry that'll keep her happy :) Im running the car in using 20% and keep using that same fuel, @ $19 per liter it better be good. I was going to run the engine in using the back yard its a little bumpy but all the grass is dead its like a desert that should be smooth enough. Im going to use the heat cycle method All i have left is to arrange a charger, ive got a few spares, infrared heat gun, glow plugs etc. What do you guys suggest i do with the engine before starting it? ive read somewhere i should pull it apart and clean it up and then run it in. Could i just pull the cooling head off clean it out with wd40? Inline.......................... > hahaha i get married on the 30th THIS MONTH NOW! You have my sympathies. > ill keep buying her > jewelry that'll keep her happy :) Spoken like a man who's never been married. Reality is gunna hit REAL fast my friend! > Im running the car in using 20% and keep using that same fuel, @ $19 > per liter it better be good.

I run O'Donnels 20% race bland and pay under $22 a GALLON (4 litres). > All i have left is to arrange a charger, ive got a few spares, infrared > heat gun, glow plugs etc. Sounds like you're all stocked up. > What do you guys suggest i do with the engine before starting it? ive > read somewhere i should pull it apart and clean it up and then run it > in. Could i just pull the cooling head off clean it out with wd40? Never, ever use WD40 on the inside of an internal combustion engine of any type! Leave the engine assembled and in the truck. Last thing you want to do is f**k up yer new truck before you've even had the chance to break it. Squirt a few drops of after run oil (I use Marvel Mystery Oil) down the carb barrel and SLOWLY pull the starter a few times to circulate the oil thru the motor. Then just lite her up and run her in. Doc > What kind of fuel is that? You're getting HOSED on the price! I run > O'Donnels 20% race bland and pay under $22 a GALLON (4 litres). Ive heard O'Donnels is the shiznitch Its just some fuel the local hobby store whips up, I was going to go with 25% nitro but they wanted $24 per l, and you have to pre order it, 20% they have pre made. Im in a smallish town population of around 150k, hobby stores are slim pickings. Anyway ive got 2 litres to start me off. O'Donnells 20% here (N.C.) is 28.95 + tax per gallon... Or a little bit further drive in the opposite direction (away from any RC playing field)and it's $22.95 + tax (cheapest I have found it) Red Alert fuel is basically the same thing as O'Donnells with dye in it... > > What kind of fuel is that?
