Default Whats gonna happen?

Hey everyone I just read on the hpi site that they are telling you DO NOT! put any WD40 in the engine. woops I already have put WD40 in my engine twice in the carb and in the engine where the glow plug goes, whats going to happen to my savage? Is it going to be ruined? Im kinda scared? Also thats all my friend uses for his revo he uses WD40 after everytime he uses his revo. I hardly ever do the after-run proceedures i run my car almost everyday so i dont bother taking out the fuel in my tank and line and I dont bother putting after-run oil in my engine unless im not going to use it for a week, which when i was having problems with my car during the summer I forgot to add after-run oil in it and I left fuel in my tank and everything for about 4 months is my engine screwed?

Please HELP!,

I dont think you are screwed. There are a few peopel on this site who claim o used wd40 with no problems - I dont, I use ARO but those that do seem to get away with it. <shrugs>

I use 3-in-1 oil. It seems to work pretty good as well.

I prefer automatic transmission fluid for ARO or Marvel Mystery Oil or even 3-in-1 oil. I don't much like WD-40 but I doubt you've hurt anything. I wouldn't use it anymore though
