46u i have a question for you
O'donel is ur brand of choice correct? i too think they are good. but i have noticed they have 2 blends right? sport and racing? or is it r2r and race lends
ive read both but cannot find a difference
another thing whats ur opposititon on switching nitro %'s
example i ue 20% traxxas in my 4-tec but would like to go to 33%. would u think a simple tuning could adjust it?
Most fuel manufactures have more then one blend and most are RTR, Sports, Basher, then you have Race and Pro. The RTR, Sports or Basher blends are HIGH oil content. This is way some pages back I asked you what blend of O’Donnell you ran. I like the Race blend but will not run the RTR as I will not run a high oil content fuel and is why I will not run Traxxas. O’Donnell and if I am not mistake Traxxas and some others do not publish oil content. From experience I can run a fuel and in less the half a tank tell if it is high oil content.
When running high nitro content you have to make sure you run the correct glow plug, and correct amount of head shims. If you get this wrong you will severely decrease the life of your engine. Personally right now I am happy with 20% nitro content but if I ever get in to sanction racing will more then likely run 30% content. All so the 20% is cheaper.
