Used to get rust on bearings and crank before I STOPPED running the fuel/oil out of the engine 
Routine now is to dump excess fuel out of tank and let engine cool naturally, no aro !
Using byrons gen 2 fuels , pro driver or race 3000 have PLENTY of oil left in the crankcase and NO RUST
If you do prefer to run fuel out and use aro I recommend rbmods aro and plenty of it

I have one with 5 gallons on it and love it! I have a Ninja and it is dusty because my R21 is smoother/longer runtime 13 min./ holds a tune/ and has decent power with RE10 and alum. flywheel. It is a pretty good beginner engine but care needs to be taken during break-in I used the heat cycle method for two quarts but metal pinch didn't go away until 1 1/2 gallon and just got better over time. Yes 30% and running in buggy is fine but I would use something with a little castor oil during break-in like Bryons 11% and the Losi RE10 works great with Nitrotec with 7mm venturi but any of the Losi pipes work well. If you break it in right it will last forever! Good Luck!

Amazing. Here in Denmark every engine that runs Byron fuel will rust very quick - with or without running the engine dry. Those drivers who ran SideWinder in 2009 and 2010 didn't have that problem but I don't know if the new purple stuff has the same AFO effect.

Wut I have found to work well is to: dump excess fuel out of the tank, and plug the exhaust when it is at stoage temps.

Anyone using Novarossi's recipe:
14% ungummed castrol oil (first pressure acidity lower than 0.5) or 7% castrol oil
+ 7% synthetic oil + 80% pure methanol + 6% nitro.
http://www.novarossi.it/files/manuals/uk-general.pdf
I use it for the first 3x5 min + 3x10 min. of break-in. After that I use 20% nitro and 14% oil for the next gallon or so. Then race blend - 25% nitro and 12% oil if I'm out of Byron.

Will try putting in ARO
