I just picked up a AE RC10 GT and in the motor maual it says to use after run oil but don't put it in the carburator. Where are you supposed to put it. I am new to Nitro, can someone give me a hand?

I put a few drops in the carb, then remove the plug and put a few drops in the engine. Pull the cord a few times.

every time after you run your car take off the heat sink head and put a couple drops of after run oil in it

Don't put any drops into the carb.... Some of the after run oils use certain additives that can and will ruin to o-rings inside the carb, raising problems with tuning and performance you don't want. The small amount of oil you do want should go into the cylinder only after removing the glow plug.

When I turn my car off, I open the throttle on the engine and leave the glow plug out of the engine. This will help prevent moisture from being trapped inside the engine causing corrosion, or worse, hydro-lock. If your engine is really hot, and you don't remove the glow plug when through running for the day, and you live in a humid area, it is possible that as the engine cools that enough moisture could build inside the engine to cause hydro-lock situation when restarting the engine next time.

Some very useful information here. Thanks for the replies!

What?!?!?!?!? Take of the head? No no no, take the glow plug out and put a few drops in and pull the starter a few times. Thats it.

yeah really....just take out the plug.I need to start doing that I think,I've been droppin it in the carb and leaving the plug out seems like a good idea,I've gone through 3-4 glow plugs and I know I'm not runnin em that hard.What is hydro locking?Maybe thats whats killin my plugs.

Yeah, just remove the glow plug and put 3 drops in, putting in the carb gums up mine and makes it stick.

Eather way i usually take off the head to clean it so i put it in when i take the head off... just to clear that up for ya

you take the head off after every run....man. Thats crazy. You dont need to take the head off to clean it. Just squirt it with denatured alcohol.

use wd40 to clean the motor off

Hydro-lock is when a bunch of gas is trapped between the piston and the head. As a result you cannot pull the starter cord.
