not really for here but I didn't know where to post. When I pinch the fueline to stop the engine I never the less got a bit of rust (not really, just the colour) at the flymass and in the crankshaft. I always stopp the engine as said above with a bit open throttle. So would you say this is best? Or maybe with idle or with full throttle to 'boost' it out (I have some doubts due to lubrication here)?

To prevent rust or oxidation inside the engine, it is best not to have fuel inside the engine when you store it.
Pinching the fuel-line is the good solution but running the engine at a good temperature just before will be the better thing, because then the fuel will evaporate when you stop the engine and so you will have only the oil leftover.
However if you are not planning to use the engine for a while then it is always better to clean the engine before storing it.

Ok then. Let's say all is done under well temperatures (like it has been done yet) and I never the less have that colour, is this a sign of using maybe not a good enough fuel then? It couldn't come from storing because therefore I clean it and net it with ARO. My C6BB - arriving this week - will just be used with RB fuel, no matter where to get it .
PS: I read that you are also Pro-Line importer. Can you recommend me a french online hoppy shop where I can order Pro-Line products (first of all tyres)? I ask, because here in Germany and Austria these are imported by a fridge company (!?) which just wants to make money and don't care about that beautiful sport. 2 RTR wheels cost 37,50€ here ... LOL. GRP is fair with 18,50€. Normaly I'm fine with GRP but I regulary would need BADLANDS from PL. That's my problem.

Could also be a cause of circumstances and the oil which is coloring some parts because you tell me it is no real rust. Anyway I would not worry too much since if you check and clean your engine on regular bases then you can follow the life of the parts quite good.
As for a French hobby shop, check the following link, not all have on-line ordering but some do.
