Status: offline 		Yeah, you mean glow fuel. 10% or 15% should be fine for your bushing engine. I would run fuel that is from a major supplier that clearly lists the contents, especially oil content and type. I would run a synthetic, castor mix, keep that LA from running too lean, and it should give you great service.

Status: offline 		I have an .40 LA for 3 years now. Run a cheap 15%nitro and 20% castor thru it. I use the same fuel in my T-maxx and rustler. My gas is almost two years old and works great, just make sure you put the lid on tight as the fuel will evaporate

Status: offline 		That is a bushing engine. 5 - 10 % nitro is fine and pure castor or a blend will be fine, 20 % oil content. Don't use all synthetic.
