Default RE: Substitute nitromethane

I saw some threads on this subject and there did exist replacements for nitromethane
they were of the nitro fasmily something like nitro ethelelene or something alonmg those names

They did a similar job but had other issues possibly more or less flamable and dont supply as much oxegen as nitromethane but were often cheaper

Realy most motors can funcion well on no nitro and if the compression is increased will give the same performance as nitro fuel

The issue is zero nitro and high compression motors are not for the novice
reducing compression and using nitro give you the esier starting from low compression and nitro gives back the power lost from low compression


Nitro methane is a brain dead way to get more power and bigger motor with tuned pie on no nitro is probably better solution and can clean you out of money real fast on a 50% nitro combo for a 90 sized 3d heli as fuel consumpion increases four fold at 50% nitro

as nitiro isnt realy a fuel but more like liquid oxegen so 30% nito will realy mean your 5 litres is more like 4 litres fuel and one litre liguid oxegen and the air is full of free oxegen
