Fuel Question
 
What is the difference between r/c car fuel and r/c helicopter fuel?

Can I run my T-MAXX on 15% Coolpower? Or maybe mix some 30% and 15% for 22.5%????

Anybody

if you want higher nitro just go get some higher nitro fuel, I don't recommend mixing.

You can, but you will have lots of oil because helis need much lubrication - they don't need to move in forward motion all the time, so they do not get enough cooling. The extra lube is there just for helis. You can run your engine on it but you may not get the most power out of it. Be prepared to run it a little bit leaner.

Fuel Question
 
This has been discussed quite a bit lately, not sure if heli fuel is same as plane fuel, but Plane fuel not only makes your nitro engine run cooler, but also performs better with longer run times... BuyRBWare, lives near me, had a topic on this a while ago. I dont recommend it, becuase i dont wnat to be responsible for your engine if something happens to go wrong, but I know many people lately that do this. PM him about it, I'm sure he can help you.

oh ya, dont mix fuels either :)
