See this post: [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7912710/anchors_7915148/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#7915148]BIG ST FUEL, dropped by sig [/link]
Retailers drop products because they don't sell.
Products don't sell because they are not needed.
That fuel is not needed because regular 18% oil fuel works just fine.

There is no reason why a slightly larger displacement S.T. engine must have fuel with a lower oil content. That is an Internet myth.

The big Tigers have the same ball bearing crank and plain bushed rods as the other S.T. engines.

MY S.T. 3000's run fine on 15% nitro. They are not high compression engines, and they need not be run on low nitro fuels. They run fine on standard 15% nitro, 18% oil fuels.

I have not experienced any detonation or overheating on my big Tigers on 15% nitro.

FBD.
