Ok while I've got my exhaust out what's a good household degreaser? I don't have carb cleaner, and I need to clean the fiberglass too.

 

Simple green?

Get an actual degreaser, not dish soap or 409 BS.

 

Well I'm going to use that for the fiberglass, but the header has a nice thick layer of oil and I can't really get in there to scrub it. My pipe is clean as a whistle, the water injected into the pipe keeps it steam cleaned. The 1" of header where the water is injected is spotless too, it's pretty cool lol.

 

Lol So helpful the HAF is, thank god I don't have any car problems.


Lol JK of course

 

Well, the castor oil in nitro fuel leaves a really gummy residue. Usually I just leave it until I do a full teardown and just use isopropyl alcohol and wipe it down. Clean as a whistle!

 

Yeah I might just leave it, I've only ran about a gallon through the engine. Right now I'm going painfully slow getting the silicon out of the hole the pipe goes through. I hate having huge gorilla hands and only a few inches to work with, and I'm using a bare single edge razor lol

 

i know .01% about boats, that .01% translated to toy boats = 0.00%

 

I buy gallons and they always go bad before I use it all... I have a 125cc tank and usually fill it about 6 times every time I run it...

 

Tiny nitro engines use about the same volume of fuel as big gassers. My big 25cc sigs on gas, I think this dude says they get over 300MPG.

I like that idea of using isopropyl, I have several big jugs of 91% as that's what I use to clean my vape. I'm going to see if the iso will soft the silicon abit, if not I'm going to have to use acetone, and acetone is an expoxy thinner. And a fiberglass hull is nothing more than epoxy and glass fibers.

 

Whoa, 25cc... I thought it was a .25 motor, like the monster truck ones. 25cc is f***ing huge!

I have a puny .15 in my truck... but it pulls all the way up to 30k rpms
