AVOID FRAYED PULL CORDS
If you have nitro-powered sedan with a pull-start engine. I have noticed that the pull-starter's cord becomes frayed from rubbing against the sharp edge of the body where the side window has been cut out. To hamper this common problem cut two sections of fuel tubing, one the same length as the bottom edge of the window and the other the same height as the window opening. Use a hobby knife to cut the two sections of fuel tubing halfway through and glue them over the edges of the body in the window opening to protect the pull-starter's cord.

FULL TANK ISOLATION
A nitro engine's vibrations can make nitro fuel foam, especially when the tank is mounted to the chassis. To help isolate the fuel tank from vibration, I cut four sections of fuel tubing then install a piece over the mounting screws above and below both of the tank's mounting tabs. This will hopefully solve the problem.

PRIME PUMP REMOVAL
To prevent engine-tuning problems that start from air leaks in the fuel system, you can cut the fuel priming pump out of the fuel tank. Leave the pump's O-ring in place and seal the opening with a 4mm flathead screw and some silicone gasket sealer. Now just hold your finger over the exhaust tip for a moment to get fuel flowing to the carb, and your engine will getter better fuel flow.

 

PIPE PROTECTION
Ever had a problem with your Lexan bodies actually cutting through the aluminum exhaust tip of your tuned pipe, or had the tuned pipe make a mess of your nicely painted body.. Over a long period of time, the engine vibrations can turn Lexan into a saw blade! To solve the problem, split a short section of fuel tubing and glue it to the body where the exhaust tip passes through. Now the tuned pipe looks the way it did when it was brand new and the body won't cop such a hiding from the exhaust tip.

KEEP IT PRETTY
A harsh tumble can ruin the look of your nitro engine's heat-sink head, and what's worse, it can bend the fins. To prevent scratches and bends, simply wrap a zip-tie through each of the four bolt holes on top with the lock-block part of the tie facing up; then cut off the excess. Now the lock-block on the zip-tie will hit the ground before your heat-sink head

PERFECT COOLING HOLE
Don't rely on body scissors and a steady hand to cut a circular opening or wheel well. Instead, use a circle cutter which is available from most hobby shops and hardware staores, even some discount stores such as Super Cheap Auto's & Silly Solly's have them. Remember, the diameter of the opening will be twice the distance from the blade to the pivot. In this case, the blade is placed one inch from the pivot to cut a ROAR-legal 2" diamater cooling hole in a nitro car's windshield. Score the outline of the opening, then cut from the pivot hole to the scribe line with a pair of body scissors. Peel out the waste lexan and there you have it a perfectly round hole. Don't forget a round hole is less likely to split in the corners as it has no corners, also the bodies rigidity is less weakened.

DON'T DROP THAT SCREW
Have you ever tried to balance a screw on the end of a driver, so as to get it in a spot on your car that's inaccessible to your fingers? Everybody has and everybody drops the screw on the first God knows how many attempts! You can make the job a lot easier if you slip a piece of fuel tubing over the driver and jam the screw into the tubing. Now you can hold the driver and the car at a convenient angle, and the screw won't fall into the wasteland underneath your bench.
