im wondering if it alright to run 20% fuel in nitro stadium trucks? b/c most manuels say 15 but i got a 20% gallon just rotting in my garage.?

anything from 10%-20% is fine.

if u want it to run reallly good use hightest gasoline... It will make it go at hyper speed.


Do not attempt at home... or any where.

yeh but it will over heat the engine

Are you talking about using 115 octane straight gas? If so pretty dumb. If you want fast run 40%

lol ya right you couldnt run gasoline in a nitro engine, even if you added oil and got eveything right and somhow manged to get it running, the gas would detonate prematurely and never stay running. you would need somthing that would run stabily in high heat and compression, like diesel, there is a company that makes comverion kits for plane engines, but diesel doesnt "go like hell" the same way that nitro does, neither does gas.

Also if you start playing w/ the nitro content your going to have to compensate if you go to high (nitro content). start using some sort of head shims to decrease your engines compression. Or bad things happen.

heck, I just switched over to 30% race formula for my n-rusty...... it shouldn't harm anything if you run 20% fuel... if you run 10%(since it is almost impossible to find 15, for me atleast) then you will go real slow... 20% is the safe way to go when it comes to fuel, doesn't have too much nitro, and isn't filled with to much oil...

I think you should try 20%, and if you don't like it, you can always switch to a lower %... just remember to take it easy for the first tank if switching fuels.

Keep it simple , 20% fuel , suggest Trinity Monster Brew 20% , has plenty of lubricating protection, and a rust inhibatitor in the fuel. RED

Nobody asked you which truck you have or what motor is on it. That might make a difference. Regardless, I'm sure 20% is just fine. I use 20% O'Donnell.

What difference does it make as far as truck model and engine 20% is the standard for fuel, plugs and carb. setting have more of an effect on a motor than the other, RED
