Status: offline 		It's made but unless you are all out racing, there is no point in using it. That kind of nitro wears out glow engines very quickly and the ones that don't wear out break, as in broken con rods and crankshafts. If you stay in the 20 to 30% range, your engine will last more than a few races and you won't go broke buying fuel. I found out, when I was racing boats, that what little speed you lose with lower nitro can easily be made up by better driving.

Old saying in boat racing, "5 slow laps ALWAYS beats 4 really fast laps (as in DNF)."
