In one practice session at the track, I probably go thru 1000cc - 125cc per tank. Really deoends if I have problems or not.

I go through roughly 500cc, but of course if something breaks, the weather goes bad, gets dark, I run out of time etc it goes down.
But, roughly on a good day with nothing going wrong I'll go through 500cc and maybe a tiny bit more.

I normally use like a half gallon per session, so I picked it, but there have been once or twice I have run though like 2 gallons. :D;):)[X(][>:]

How often are "your sessions?" I have one day decidated to driving my cars a week-Saturday. Get up early, run it, and get back at 6pm! Then the weekly grind again (maintence)

Generally around 500cc.

150cc tank on the GT2. I run it almost everyday, 1 tank is all I need if its right in front of the house. 2 or 3 tanks when I drive to my bashing spot.

with the 5T (under [sm=greedy.gif] construction),
I dont use it everyday, but when I do......

Um, like a hour or so, sometimes less, I drive hard, so I burn a lot of fuel up.

By the way, isn't a 1/4 gallon pretty much 1000cc??

Depends if your talking UK or US gallon, your probably talking US, so I wouldn't know.

Spetz 05-04-2009 11:30 AM

RE: How much fuel do you burn in one session?
 
I think the UK gallon is near 4 litres (like 3.95L) and the US gallon is 3.78L or there abouts.

In the end of the day, when will people learn, imperial sucks, METRIC is the way to go

some brands of fuel (Tornado) have 5 litres, so you get like 1 1/2 gallons

The stock tank on GT's and GT2's are 75cc(ROAR legal). I have an old RC10GT tub chassis that has a 75cc tank that I put on it straight from the kit when it was brand new. My buddy has a GT2 that has a 75cc tank that came on it RTR.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. I put about 1/2 gallon through on average provided nothing breaks and the truck is running well. Their have been times I've used a gallon and times I've used 1/2 tank. It all depends on how the RC gods feel like treating me that day!:)

It is a 150cc tank. He isn't talking about the Associated RC10GT2 he is talking about the Kyosho Inferno GT2.

RE: How much fuel do you burn in one session?
 
No problem dude? How's that Picco doing ya? I need an power source but I don't know if I should go electric or stay nitro.

On2_n_On4 05-04-2009 08:04 PM

RE: How much fuel do you burn in one session?
 
Perfect from day one! Im on the 3rd gallon with the same carb settings from the factory.
yes a little rich but Im not looking for new speed records :D

Im also searching for an electric (off-road) to run at night.

Just my opinion, I dont like to do conversions like that, just like the old days when people put 350ci chevy engines on Jaguars, RX7's and Miata's :D and I think they still do lol

I would stay nitro with the gt and look for a different car or truck for a BL/lipo setup.

RE: How much fuel do you burn in one session?
 
Yeah I see what you mean. It's just a bit confusing with all the parts needed to install the engine on the original IGT. Guess I just use trial and error.
