d) Recommended accessories, general information
Which type of fuel is the right one?
With the selection of the fuel, you can influence the performance characteristic of the engine.
However, as a matter of principle:
• In the running-in phase, a special RC car fuel with approximately 16% nitromethane should be used.
• After the regulatory run-in of the engine (after a mere operating time of approximately 45 minutes), you can switch to
a fuel with approx. 20% nitromethane.
• For maximum performance, we recommend the max. percentage of 25% nitromethane
Use fuel for RC cars only! Fuel for RC flight motors contain an insufficient amount of oil (too little lubrication), which
causes the engine to overheat and results in serious damage. The same applies for vehicle gasoline.
Loss of guarantee/warranty!
Why is a tank bottle needed?
RC model car fuel is available in big bulks (canisters) only. Filling the tank is significantly facilitated by using the small,
special tank bottle with its thin, bent pipe. This prevents spilling the fuel.
Spilled fuel not only damages the environment but also poses a fire and explosion risk!
Are more glow plugs necessary?
Glow plugs wear, especially in the running-in phase. Thus, we recommend you always keep in store some glow plugs
for replacement. There are glow plugs with different thermal values; proper selection of the glow plug has a great
influence on the driving performance. For the run-in phase, you should use 'cold' glow plugs for high-performance
engines. After the run-in phase, you can change to a glow plug with medium thermal value.
Use glow plugs for RC cars only! A wrong glow plug, e.g. for 4-stroke model plane engines let the motor run
improperly and aggravate tuning.
Our tip: Degree of heat for glow plugs
Standard glow plugs for fuels with nitromethane additive (approx. 5 %)
Cold glow plugs for fuels with nitromethane additive (approx. 10 %)
Super cold glow plugs for fuels with nitromethane additive (more than 10 %)
Installation/exchange of glow plugs
Requires a glow plug wrench (lug wrench SW 8, 9, 10 and 12).
Preheating the glow plug
A glow plug starter with rechargeable battery is placed on the glow plug and heats this so that the air-fuel mixture
ignites and the engine starts. Once the engine runs properly, the glow plug starter can be removed.
