Default RE: fuel

planes i run 20 only because they are more durable enginees they dont rev as hight. but car 15% and 18% oil only because if your not good at tuning or like that you can run it lean because of extra oil content

For racing, I would recommend 25% or 30% for any nitro car. For on-road and stadium truck sport use, 10% is fine and Trinity 16% will do well in monster trucks and buggies for sport use.

Default RE: fuel

looks like we have a bit of confusion here. go back and read the question!

now: was the question about nitro or fuel percentage? i forgot.



what is the fuel being used in? is it for bashing or racing? do you mean nitro or oil percentage? those things need to be known before the question can be answered with any kind of accuracy.
the others were close in specifying oil and nitro content.

Default RE: fuel

I was on another forum i frequent pretty often and i ran across a thread about sidewinder fuel. EVERYONE that had used it couldnt say enough about it and most of them used 20% odonell before they switched to sidewinder. general rule is 20% for small blocks and 30% for big blocks. sidewinder has 12% lubricant with a good mixture of castor oil and lube. Ive also heard many ppl talk about how theyve ran 5 or more gallons of it and took their engines apart and they were very impressed with the condition the fuel itself kept it in. After i finish off this gallon im switchin to sidewinder.
