CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Failure to follow break-in procedure and/or damage caused by

improper tuning will void your engine warranty.

There are two ways to “temp” your engine. One, purchase a

temperature gauge. The second cheaper, but less accurate method

is the “Spit Test”. Wipe a little bit of saliva on the engine head and it

should burn off in 3 - 4 seconds (the boiling point of water normally

is 100 °C). If it evaporates immediately, chances are the engine is

running too hot.

The engine will run best and be easier to restart if run around

100-125 °C. Depending on your weather conditions, air density,

and humidity, your carburettor settings will be changing wherever

you decide to run. Making adjustments in small increments is the

best way to make sure your engine lasts a long time. Overheating

is caused by running the engine too lean, or too much stress on

the engine created by the environment. Extreme overheating will

result in internal failure of engine parts.

There are many online resources that will help you with engine

tuning. 3.5 ccm engines are designed to last a long time, and with

proper maintance and tuning, you can drive the model for hours

at a time.

AFTER USE

When you have finished running your car, there are two options to

shut the engine down. The first method is to place your thumb over

the exhaust outlet (Wear gloves). Make sure your engine is normal

idle, preferable with the brake activated.

The second method is to pinch off the air supply from the engine.

Do not pinch the fuel line, as this may cause the engine to overheat!

Try and let all the remaining fuel run through the engine, emptying

the fuel tank. The engine will idle high while the tank is emptied, so

the above two steps may not be necessary.

Then apply after-run oil through the carburettor, and pull the pull-

start a few times to get it through the engine. This is recommended

if you plan on storing the car for more than a day. Methanol

evaporates in water and can cause internal corrosion to engine

parts. It is always a good idea to check all the screws, nuts, and

bolts before and after each period of racing.

Keeping the car clean will also make it more fun to work on.

This can be achieved with a large heavy-duty paintbrush, or

compressed air. Always test the transmitter and receiver batteries

before starting the engine.

Racer Tip:

Wear gloves when working on your hot car!
