SECTION 1: OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
This section lists the recommended items necessary to run and maintain your new Mammoth RTR Nitro Monster Truck. We have tested
these items extensively with the Mammoth RTR Nitro Monster Truck and found that they offer the best in reliability and value.
What Fuel Do I Use in My Mammoth RTR Nitro Monster Truck?
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 45 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 in your Mammoth RTR Nitro Monster Truck that are designed for R/C airplane
engine use. These fuels do not contain the proper amount of lubricants; therefore, they will cause the engine in your truck 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 20% Nitro Car Fuel - Part # 837828 (use this after break-in)
Trinity 30% Nitro Car Fuel - Part # 837832 (use this after break-in for more power)
How Do I Remove the Glow Plug?
A long reach glow plug wrench is necessary to easily and quickly
remove and replace the engine's glow plug. The Magnum Long
4-Way Wrench works great.
Do I Need to Purchase Extra Glow Plugs?
Yes. Even though your Mammoth RTR Nitro Monster Truck 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" heat-range glow plug intended
specifically for performance engines, like the
Thunderbolt # 3 (P/N 115559)
or the
McCoy MC-59 (P/N 690215),
for the break-in period.
After the break-in period you may want to use a medium heat-range glow plug like the
McCoy MC-8 (P/N 690205)
. Do not use glow
plugs intended for four stroke airplane engines. Using the wrong type of glow plug will cause the engine to run erratically and make it
difficult to tune properly.
What Do I Use to Ignite the Glow Plug?
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
Magnum Glow Starter with Meter is a perfect choice. It comes
complete with a battery, charger and a built-in meter to let you know
if your glow plug is good.
Do I need to Use a Fuel Bottle?
Yes. 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 Promax 500cc Fuel Bottle is a good choice.
