Another quick-fire question...
Would it be worth while attaching a fuel filter to the fuel intake ?
And... Where is the exhaust located on the car? Is it at the rear of the vechile ?
I've tried looking at the images in the mag, but just can't seem to see it.

Its always a good idea to fit a fuel filter into the fuel line.
The exhaust manifold is at the rear of the engine, which exits downwards into a muffler assembly and then a tailpipe exits to the rear.Tomick attached the following image(s):

Also 'After Run' oil is worth buying.
The Methanol content within nitro fuel is 'hygroscopic' and therefore attracts moisture from the atmosphere, where fuel deposits that remain within the engine after the days running (or model storage) may cause internal corrosion.
Treating the engine with after run oil will protect the internals of the engine from corrosion during storage.
This also applies to the Hummer nitro engine.

The after run oil is a good idea, but it fouls up the glow plug. And they usually need to be replace the next time you run your car.

Untrue and is recommended by engine manufacturers. If you have concern of this, then simply remove the plug.
