Our Recommendations
This section lists the recommended items necessary to run and maintain your new Baja Outlaw nitro truck. We have tested these items
extensively with the Baja Outlaw and found that they offer the best in reliability and value.
FUEL
Fuel can make a big difference in the way your engine performs. For the break-in period you should use a fuel specifically designed for
R/C car engines that contains no more than 20% nitromethane. Once the engine has been adequately broken in (about 30 minutes of
run-time) you can switch to an R/C car fuel containing up to, but no more than, 30% nitromethane.
☛
We do not recommend using fuels designed for R/C airplane engine use. These fuels do not contain the proper amount of
lubricants; therefore, they will cause the engine to overheat and severe damage to the engine will result.
Use the following fuels for the best performance:
Trinity 16% Nitro Car Fuel - Part # 837826 (use this for break-in)
Trinity 30% Nitro Car Fuel - Part # 837832 (use this after break-in)
GLOW PLUG WRENCH
A long reach glow plug wrench is necessary to easily and quickly
remove and replace glow plugs. The Magnum Long Reach Glow
Plug Wrench is a good choice.
YOU SHOULD ALSO PURCHASE SOME SPARE GLOW PLUGS
Even though your Baja Outlaw comes with a glow plug already installed in the engine, glow plugs wear out, especially during the
break-in period; therefore, it's a good idea to have a couple of spares handy. The glow plug can make a big difference in how your
engine performs. We recommend using a "hot" type glow plug intended specifically for performance engines like the Thunderbolt
Standard Long # 115568 or the McCoy MC-59 # 690215. Do not use "cold" glow plugs or those intended for four cycle airplane
engines. Using the wrong type of glow plug will cause the engine to run erratically and make it difficult to tune properly.
GLOW STARTER
A glow starter is a battery operated device that when attached to the
glow plug, heats the glow plug so that the engine can start. The
glow starter is then removed after the engine is running. The Mag-
num Long Reach Glow Started is a perfect choice.
FUEL BOTTLE
Because fuel is packaged in quarts or gallons, you will need to use a
smaller bottle with an extension tube or wand to fill the fuel tank.
Fueling using this method is much easier and a lot less messy. The
Magnum 1/2A Fueling Bottle is a good choice.
