Hey everyone, I'm new and I have a quick question. I recently purchachesd a used jato 3.3 from a member on here. Well he used 15% nitro fuel in it and I went to the hobby shop and I said I needed 15% and handed me 30% without me realizing. Well I got home ran through a tank of it then noticed it was 30% and not 15%!!!!!! Yes I'm a moron for not checking . Since I just spent 30 sOmething dollars on a gallon should I keep running it or go out and buy the right stuff?
Thanks. Pat
Thanks. Pat

You can run as low as 5% nitromethane in the Traxxas engines I have been doing it for 5 years now and I am on my original engine. 5% is way cheaper than 30%. If you're bashing, why spend the money?

Since you already have the 30% go with it. I do suggest though buying a small quart of 15% or 20% so you can see the difference in performance. All I do is bash I don't race (unless I'm drag racing the Jato) and all I run is 30%. It's nice to have the power on tap.

Thanks for the help! We pay to Play haha. I don't know what's worse this or my yfz. My next issue to tackle is my charger and getting the right connector for the batteries
