RCAdam Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Was using nitro in a gravel/loose stone car park, a few tiny stones are now around the glow plug and heatsink, If i remove the glow plug i don't want grit to fall in the engine, whats the easiest way to remove them?

chrisknights Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 this is a hard one but turn it upside down and shake it or blow a air line over it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiyacowboy Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 here is a little tip. when you have no compressed air , grab yourself a thin skinny straw and use this to direct a good lung full of air around the dirty areas. second tip and more a TOOL tip......... in my rc box/baggie/backpack/flightbox/commandcenter i have a small device called a rocket blower, you can find these on ebay and likes. its a smallish rubber bulb with a nozzle on the end and is used in photography to blow out the insides of cameras, and when i say blow its like a little air jet with some force. its a very handy thing to have in your box, allowing a hobbyist to get into those awkward areas to clean from dust and grime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 My 'tool' of choice here is a small paintbrush. Stiff bristled worn out artist brush. Turn upside down....brush....twist it about...grit and dirt is gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry45 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Another handy addition are some baby buds... Keep a little sealed bag of baby buds in my bag just for cleaning out dirt/grit from round the glow plug, Wet it with a bit of spit and bobs your uncle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
