    80's K&B factory tour.

    Send them out and have them digitized to a DVD. I did some family 8mm film and will send VHS tapes out when we get back north, well worth the cost and they preserve much better.

    Tom, I think the last I purchased after AcuSeal went out of business was from Mr. Ralph at RR. John

    Water Jacket Corrosion

    I pump Corrosion X through all water jackets as part of my after run. You can use WD40 but you will need to flush it out after with something that won’t attach the o-rings. ie: alcohol, Sta-bil fogging spray, Corrosion X etc.

    80's K&B factory tour.

    John wasn’t interested in model boaters in the beginning, he was very content to sell cheap motors to airplane guys. As more and more competition came along and started to affect his sales and RC boating had taken hold he finally started listening to boaters. I spent lots of time on the phone...

    Sponson fix

    I wouldn’t use micro balloons, they reduce strength. Use micro fiber only for strength but you can use micro balloons for final finishing as it sands easy.

    Sponson fix

    I’d use masking tape to build a dam all around it. Then use straight West epoxy, warm it with a hot air gun and use halogen lights to keep it warm while the warm epoxy saturates. It will take awhile to completely fill. Let dry then sand and final fill with micro fiber filled epoxy repeat until...

    I’ve also heard that if you dig deep enough at Boca Bearing you can get the good nova bearings.

    Tim Did you check with Al Hobbs? He’s carrying WIB for his engines and from the thread conversation on here they may be common. John

    After-run Oil

    Jim Wilson introduced us both to it at Hobart many years ago. If you knew him then you know the amount of research and testing he did before recommending it to anyone.

    After-run Oil

    If you’re one of those that like to spray their after run through the spray bar in the carb the Rislone will work better if thinned. A few of us bugged Rislone (they are local to a few of us in Michigan) and they would not share so I got out all my solvents and tested which would stay in...

    Parts For Sale Trio Mechanical spray

    I don’t use this stuff as an anything and everything spray. I use it only to water proof electronics. If I remember there were videos out there showing a 110v hand drill hanging by the cord and running in a 5 gallon bucket of water. Another video was of a servo hanging in a glass of water and...

    You might check with Alan Elzer (sp) Bam Racing on here. I think he made some awhile back.

    After-run Oil

    Grim may not have seen this so I’ll add my 2 cents which may or may not be exact. The jist of it applies to Corrosion X or other corrosion specific fluids. They work on a molecular level and penetrate into the metal surface. In the case of the glow plug wire, it’s shielded in the plug housing...

    After-run Oil

    I think what Grim is referring to is an old glow plug to run the engine with when you first start it after using your after run procedure. Some of the after run fluids will attack glow plug wires and reduce the plug life significantly.

    After-run Oil

    If you are running Nova Rossi engines WD40 and Marvel Mystery oil will dissolve the silicone ramp in the crank so other choices are needed. I was using Turbine oil (expensive) then Glenn and Martin suggested Sta-Bil Fogging oil but Jim Wilson also recommended Rislone Engine Treatment so I...

    foam safe CA

    Humm, I used to buy regular CA in pint size for our Bru-Lin antennas. I’ll do some checking, it’s been years. What kind of foam are you using?

    foam safe CA

    I’d go to Bob Smith Industries, they do most ca for the hobby shops that have the shop name on the bottle

    Eagle sg

    You’ll want the stiffer rubber if available. ie: higher durometer or shore number.
