Thats Cool....I' ve never Heard of THAT, then again, I've never bothered to read the Fine Print on my Fuel bottle either.
LOL,,,,Mebbe I SHOULD! Lol....
And That 1.5volt HOBBY battery of Kupplers is Very Cool thing to have in your Kit. That Battery has saved our Bacon a couple times....
I wonder about the Metered Igniters. I Know it will tell you if the Plug is OPEN (broke wire) but sometimes the Plug is still intact but doesnt work anymore cuz the Platinum Coating has burned away. What Then?

I just noticed on the bottle of Sidewinder fuel it says "Don't use after run oil, Morgan fuel contains a rust inhibitor and an Anti-oxidant for resting engines".
This is good to know.

About the 1.5 hobby battery, I haven't seen one that big since my cox dayz.......
I checked the glowplug starter that crapped out on me, and it turns out it didn't crap on me after all.... I guess from the dirt and fuel from the glowplug, that it doens't make a very good contact with the plug. I will try some dielectric grease on the contacts and see if that helps.
So that will give me a total of 4 starters. That should be plenty...

RE: I Got to break-in my MXT-2S today!!!!!
you can start a collection of starters!!!!! one for each rc. I would still use a couple of drops of afo, you wont hurt anything, it may just make it a little harder to start.

You need to get some video of your MXT-2S soon! [8D] Have you taken it to that BMX track you took your other trucks yet?

You know how they get when they are sick. They get irritating and don't want to act right...
She won't see as much abuse as them tremors and the other truck. She's mainly my show truck.
I got my aluminum shocks and pipe coming thursday. Then it's Himoto....PIMP MY TRUCK!!!!!
I will try next time we go(in 2 weeks). Hopefully it won't be raining.
I would have taken my street truck but I had to rob the crystals out of it to put in another truck. Those should be here soon.
I should have my new 4x4 truck done hopefully. Waiting on the counter gears and bearings to arrive.

The Small Clean, which is exactly Like Eddies Procedure. I use a stiff bristle Paint Brush to knock off as Much Loose dirt as possible then Spray with WD-40, let sit 20 min then Dry it Clean with the Compressor.
I always remove the Wheels, so I can get a good shot at the Bearings. I also remove the Hump Pack and Receiver, and try not to Soak the servos, cuz I'm Paranoid about my Electronics...

It is a lubricant/protector that is safe to use on plastic, electronic circuits and what not. I use this at work and it does a real good job. It is even cheaper than WD40. It's like $1.95 for a 16oz aerosol can.
Here's the link to the place I found it at:

Gonna pick me up a case of this stuff...

I'm pretty sure my local Ace Hardware sells it by the gallon. Maybe yours does too.
Who sells it by the gallon?

RE: I Got to break-in my MXT-2S today!!!!!
Hey guys, I found the WD40 gallon size at Lowes. It was $13.95
Not too shabby. I cleaned my truck up and it has that "new" smell again. I proceeded to install my alum. shocks, wheel hexes, and exhaust pipe.
Considering this pipe is shorter, I had to make a pipe holder thingy wingy. I found some small s-hooks from a shop light I bought at walmart and they were an excellent choice for making one. Don't worry, I am gonna cut some of the red tubing off. 8-)
Or I could leave it long for a curb feeler!
Oh and I had to cut out a slot for the new pipe stinger.

Those are some Nice Shocks......
I need to Get me some of those for MY MXT!
And yeah, I had to dremel a bit off the side panels, when I installed my new Pipe......
I also bent up a custom Pipe hanger as well.....
I used Music wire (LHS) and bent it Custom with a Vise and Pliers......Works Great!

RE: I Got to break-in my MXT-2S today!!!!!
Seeing as this is kind of turning into the MXT-2S thread, I thought I'd ask a question. RedHarris, i saw in a picture that you had mounted what looked like a buggy fuel tank on your MXT-2S. Does this work well?

What brand is the .21? I'm guessing SH but it could also be VX.
