20% is always better, just make sure you have a good % of oil, 12% to 16% oil is best..don't sacrifice Nitro % for oil % it will only decrease your engine life, I have a TMAXX with an OS engine and have well over 5 gallons and it still works great with a rebuild maybe after the next gallon...good luck...

CaseyDDR..I stand corrected..I re-read and realized what I was thinking was not what my keyboard typed..I need to install the trouble between the keyboard and chair patch..LOL..
As I said, I stand corrected topdawg516, what I was trying to say as Casey pointed out is correct more oil is better, I should have typed don't sacrifice oil % for nitro %..airplane fuel is a topic that floats around here and I am not as familiar with its performance, Casey may be correct, worth looking into...

Tell that to casey..lol
I would post results on my "add extra castor" experiments BUT:
1) The weather has been HORRENDOUS! Flash floods, tornadoes and such.
2) My throttle servo friggin died. So no nitro for me for another week till I can get a servo outta ebay.

you all said 16-18 percent oil???? Good i'll have to go down to COX Manufacturing( where they make the Cox plane motors ) and have them mix me a gallon or two. They are about 10 miles from my house and will mix me some the way I want it for $15.00 a gallon.
