Fall Wrap Up and Winter Storage

Well even with my efforts of showing up to race at my home track each week, the northeast weather has defeated me! So I have started to wrap up the 801x and 801xt for the winter.  Pretty much I clean up each vehicle so they're like new.  I run my motors out of fuel to prevent any harmful nitro from sitting in there over the winter months.  I add a few drops of after run oil to my motors to help preserve them from rust.

My next race on my schedule will be an indoor offroad race at R/C Excitement in Fitchburg, MA.  I'm a little rusty with running 1/10th 4wd electric so I'm hoping just for a fun race day and also a day to work out the bugs of my Baldre nd 501x.  I'm hoping to be back tearing up the rug with my 416 soon once my local track is back up and running 100 percent after their move.
