Fuel is the most critical component for making your engine perform

properly. Improper fuels will cause hard starting, poor performance,

and excessive wear on the engine. Fuel for your vehicle must

contain a blend of BOTH synthetic oil and castor oil. Use a high-

quality blended fuel. We only recommend Megatech’s High

Velocity Racing Fuel or another premium quality car/truck fuel with

25% Nitro content.

CAUTION: ALWAYS FOLLOW THE PRECAUTIONS

PRINTED ON THE CONTAINER OF FUEL. KEEP IT AWAY

FROM OPEN FLAMES AND CHILDREN. THE MIXTURE

IS FLAMMABLE AND POISONOUS.

Your AfterBurner features a competition fuel tank and priming

system. The tank uses a spring-loaded fi ller cap over a wide fi ller

neck for fast, easy fueling. Simply pull open the lid and it will spring

closed when you remove the nozzle. Remember to use a fuel fi ller

bottle with an attached long nozzle that can be inserted into the fi ller

neck. Never pour fuel from an open can into the tank or use a funnel.

Your AfterBurner comes fully assembled and nearly ready to race right

from the box. Very little setup is required, however, proper

preparation is crucial to maximizing the performance and enjoyment

of your vehicle.

First we do recommend that you

tighten down all of the bolts, as they

may have come lose in transit. Be

especially careful with the engine

mounting bolts as shown in

Figure 3. Because the engine has

such high RPMs, it is important to

make sure the bolts have not

vibrated loose after every use.
