You will probably have to remove a head shim and yes a lot of tuning. They don't normally go below 16% very happily.

EB4man

I'm not sure if you can even run 10% in these things. If you can't get atleast 20%, I think you got a problem...but I could be wrong.

SManMTB

Should work fine. You probably need to run a tad leaner than with 25%.

dicko

you will need to richen the engine a fair bit when switching to less % nitro fuels. especially a big jump like 15%. it will run, but it might be difficult to tune. i'd try getting some 25% fuel from a mail order place in the UK first if you can't get it local.

its not that i cant get it we arent aloud to run it and it was for mucking about the streets and when i was going to race i would use 16% dont forget i am only 13 and it for a laugh and i want my car to laugh

hi i when i bought my hyper 7 i ran 10% to run it in, the performance is rubbish tunning does not help, when i swiched to 25% it ran so much better it had power and went faster.Order some 25 off the internet . the only problem is the more nitro % the higher price. i am only 12 so buying fule and the rest of the stuff is very expensive so my dad buys it me and then i pay him back over time.

HyperDrive

he can't buy 25% cause he lives in belfast. There are a lot of things you can't buy over there, especially combustables. Fireworks are banned unless for professional show organisers so are certain fetilizers.
Think about it.

Bigchris090

oh yeah sorry

rcmad25

THATS WHY I HATE MY LOCAL HOBBY SHOP THE MODEL SHOP BELFAST NEVER BUY FROM THEM THEY ONLY SELL ONE FUEL AND THEY ONLY SELL THEIR CAR MAKES AN YOU CAN TOUCH OR LOOK AT THE CARS BUT IF I GO TO MY HOLIDAY HOUSE THAT HAS A MODEL SHOP NEARBY THEY SELL ALL CAR MAKES AND YOU CAN TOUCH AND HAVE A GOOD LOOK AT THENM AND THEY SELL LOADS OF DIFFERENT EVEN THE PLANE DLYERS GO UP THEIR TO GET THEIR STUFF CAUSE MY LOACAL IS SH1T

Da Smak

Trust me, you can just buy 25% over the counter in NI, I've done it often and without any questions and that was in Belfast.

rcmad25

HEY YOU CAN BUY IT BUT IT IS REALLY HARD TO GET DESCENT MAKES LIKE ODDNELL MY LOCAL HOBBY SHOP SELL MODEL TECHNIQUE WHICH IS CRAP FUEL SO I GET A COUPLE OF GALLONS OF 16% AS 10 WILL BE CRAP BUT I WILL USE IT FOR TUNING

Da Smak
