Best way to store spare engines? - RCDad - 09-10-2005
I have two engines that I'm a) trying to identify, b) wanting to find manuals for, and c) wanting to setup to be spares. All I know about they is their HPI engines and they say k12 on the side.
Anyway, until I get the info I need what's the best way to store them so corrosion etc. doesn't ruin them?

A healthy dose of after run in them, and a light coating of wd-40 on the outside. Then put them in a zip lock bag

Would they be safe without a glow plug and air filter?

I called HPI today to find out what parts I need, then I shopped around for the best price. Altogether to get these two Novarossi 12R engines ready it will only cost me $75.00.
That's not bad for two spare engines! And from what I've read, they are probably as good as a T-15.
