If it's new it should not hace any carbon build up someone correct me if I'm wrong

Will the seller let you pull it apart before you buy it? Look for wear on the cups and center diff that will tell if it has been run before.

Why would you need to check out a brand new one?

 

[Clinton16]

Thank you for the advice,

Because, what if someone already buy it and give it back bcuz of some factory deffect, then they will try to re-sell it to other customers, and this will be my 1st gasoline rc, so want to know some check list , to know what should it be, and if the seller is honest, we have local seller here, but sometimes he has a bad mood (he is chinese)

Sorry I was not aware that your local hobby store would sell bad product.

The motor may have been run at the factory, but it should not have carbon build up.

There should be no carbon in the cylinder or on the piston. If you see oil that's ok. It may have been started or have assembly lube in there.

The drive cups should not have wear. If they do it has been driven a lot. Even after a couple of tanks of driving during break-in mine never show wear.
