heya, thanks for readin.

i've picked up a revo 3.3 , broke it in and have ran a few more tanks
through the beast. enjoying the hobby immensely!!

my goal is to maintain the ride and such.

so, when im done running is there a good way to get all the fuel out?
the traxxas video said not to run the engine till the tank is empty.
so i unhooked the fuel line, and uncoiled it held it straight up and
most of the fuel got back into the tank where i could just dump it.

but, theres still a few droplets that wouldnt move, nothing big..
but i'd like to know if this is ok to leave in there or how to get rid of it.

this situation would involve daily or every 1-3 days running.
so it will be in use again shortly.
but i dont want to take chances :]

thanks for any advice!

prime the engine..

you can either blow through your fuel line that goes to your exhaust pipe..
or use the ez start and plug your exhaust pipe..

ah cool.

that reminds me actually,
is it ok to kill the engine by plugging the exhaust?

with the body + clips on it would seriously be a
pain to pinch that fuel line. plus youve got to hold
the break so it wont creep forward while doing so.

Trend

yes it's ok.. but if you're going to store it.. don't forget to burn all the fuel up coz if you dont, it will attract moisture and can damage your engine badly.. to burn the remaining fuel, use the pinch technique..

i only need the after run oil if i'm putting it away for a while though right?
for more than maybe a week or something?

im still kind of confused on the other note actually..
if i prime the engine by plugging the exhaust to eliminate fuel from the lines,
wouldnt that lingering fuel in the engine do harm over a day or two time? if done repeatedly i mean.
maybe i misunderstood something, do i prime the engine to get it out of the lines and then ez start it to kill that fuel left?
