I completely dissasemble my motors almost every run so I am going to guess that this was not a maintenance issue, and for me I had rust after 1 gallon, so I cleaned it up as best as possible but a gallon or two later it came back to haunt me and the rust took my rear bearing. Maybe I dont clean my motors well enough when they are apart but it seems like its more that just a coincidence that it has only happened with nitrotane, and it also happened to some fellow racers.
It depends on the fuel. I can assure you rust is not forming while engine is running. I have seen engines rust overnight when fuel is left in them. This seems to be a function of the fuel.
Blue Thunder does this and it sounds like Nitrotane does it as well. Trinity fuel used to do it as well. O'Donnell does not seem to do this. I don't think the new Byron's stuff does it either.
You just want to make sure you burn up all the alcohol in the fuel system and engine so it does not create moisture in the engine and start to rust it.

Yes burn all the fuel out. This will do more to prevent rust than using after run oil. A little rust on the crank is not a big deal. If you are worried about it you can pull the crank out and clean it with a very fine emory cloth soaked with after run oil.
Don't use the emory cloth on the crank journals.

Will: run Gen2 Byrons or Nitrotane. Diff oil run 5,000 front, middle, and rear.

..that seems like a lot of work..if i never crashed or always had motor problems i would think about doing this..but i already have a job..never wanted to turn my hobby into one..
On the fuel..I guess asking what the best fuel is, is sorta like asking what the best buggy or truggy is..I have always run the O'donnell's..Recently I switched to Byron's..I'm switching back to O'donnell's..On some of the other fuels.. i basically run what i can get at my local hobby shop and the choice I have is Traxxas, Byrons and O'donnell's..

I never take my engines apart anymore unless they are used when I buy them. It seems to me the more you take the engine apart the more tuning issues I had. So far on my rb s7 l2g I havent had a flame out with it yet since being race tuned. I havent took anything apart on it. Also Im running byrons gen 2 fuel also. I have noticed since running byrons I have had to richen my engines up quite a bit, since running tq fuel before. I also see no need to run anything higher than 25%
