30% should be fine, plenty of racers run their motors hard on it. if you're nervous about running 30% percent you could run sidewinder 25%, but it was built to be raced.

good choice, i haven't heard anything bad about them. i just dont own any associated, because for 1/8 scale im a losi fan. but from what i can tell, the rc8 is toe to toe with the 8ight.

RE: nitro content for GRP
The only time I really see any RC8s around my local track is when guys come in out of town. But there are guys who run 8ights all the time and they will swear their lives by them. For their handling, I say for good reaon too. Though the guys whp bring in their RC8s do run just as nicely as well.
