I have a rc nitro car D and A is the brand it hits about 60 + someone sold me odonell gas 60 % and it says boat under that can i use that gas for my car ? [&o]

RE: help
 

I've never heard of that particular brand of car, but I wouldn't recommend running 60% nitro in any car engine. Most of us use 20-30% with good results.

I have heard of O'donell gas, it's supposedly one of the best brands. I would never run any fuel with that high of a nitro content in anything but a boat. The gas would burn very hot and destroy your engine. My guess would be the 60% is for a boat that has a water cooled engine. That would be the only way to keep the engine from getting destroyed. DO NOT use the fuel in your nitro car.

:D Thanks for the info

Yeah I would not recommend using it. Your engine would over heat and god knows what would happen to it.
Would be interesting to see how fast the thing would move though, give it a shot. ;)

Well I did use the gas for hell of it and that thing wet fast but it did get hot . I just bought a revo 3.3 new one what do you guys think about that car.

I mean a jato 3.3 :eek:

RE: help
 

You are supposed to shim the engine for such a huge change in nitro, the compression must have been extremely high and I would say that you probably shortened the engine life even if you didnt let it overheat.

From what I hear, the Jato 3.3 is a good truck. If you like it that's all that matters. Everyone on here will have different opinions about it. Personally I really like the Jatos. I've never had a 3.3 though, so I can't honestly say whether or not I like the engine. Most of the posts I've read about it state that it's more of an on-road truck than off-road, but I bet it'd be tons of fun at the track. Good choice in my opinion.

Although i've never tried one, the Jato 3.3 looks like a great car.
It's a bit smaller, but at least it can go some what off road, which is good. Not to mention, with a 3.3 engine it goes very quick. I'm thinking of picking one up one day, looks like there a lot of fun.
