Proper Care and Feeding of
Gas Powered RC Cars Engines

Gas powered RC cars are great fun as long as you take care of that motor.

Here are the first five engines for nitro remote control cars tips.


1) Keep your engine clean. Dammit! Is this so hard? Any engine caked with mud or dirt or grim is naturally going to hold the heat. Then all bets for long engine life are off. As excessive heat is the number one enemy of all gas powered rc cars engines.

2) ALWAYS drain the fuel tank and lines of your gas powered rc cars after a day of running and gunning. Not doing so risks internal engine rust. Another mortal enemy of long engine life.

3) For the same reasons don't let water get inside the engine. Doh?

Next?

4) Don't forget the after run oil. You'd be a fool to ignore it. Cause it'll save your engine. Here's all you do. Drop 3 or 4 drops in the carb at the end of a day of beating the competition senseless. Yank on the pull starter (without the glow plug plugged in) a time or two or three to coat the engine's interior and prevent engine killing corrosion. That's it. That's all there is to it.

5) Another thing that determines the life of the engine is how well it is run in or broken in. Run it real gentle while breaking in and resist the urge to let it rip. Follow manufacturer specs to a T and create less heat and wear and tear. The engine you save may be your own.
