the reason why it is suggested to run all the fuel out is bescause there are corrosive properties in the nitro methane and methanol that is in the fuel . this will in the long run shorten your bearing life drastically


RB mods ARO if you are gonna run the engine within a few days its ok to not insert ARO in the engine , if it is gonna sit for more than a few days use ARO tip : leave your engine sitting with the front of engine pointing down ( trust me )

stop engine by flywheel unless you like to replace your front engine bearings more often then needed
