nitro prices
 

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW...

topfuel was $27 yesterday for a gallon

today it was $47

i asked why and the owner of the shop claimed that most fuel is brewed in china... and now that half of china is torn apart from earthquakes. thats what its going to be for the next few months!

so.... im glad i got a gallon of fuel last weekend (and no i dont run topfuel, that was jsut the biggest jump i saw)

there was a guy buying some 50% for his boat while i was in there.... $79 for a gallon!

They are shutting the nitro plant down in China due to polution until the olympics is over. Sounds dumb but that's the problem. there will be more fuel at cheaper prices in a couple of months.

RE: nitro prices
 

With all the rising gas prices and this china shut the plants down for the clean air stuff, its getting me thinking of just switching over to electric. Always been a hardcore nitro powered fan, but electric is starting to look better and better with each day.

RE: nitro prices
 

So far my plan is to have a electric before I finish off my last 10 gallons of fuel I got left for this summer. Probably last me through winter too heh.

RE: nitro prices
 

The fuel I buy is made in the US. :)

RE: nitro prices
 

I bought 2 gallons a couple days ago from a guy on craigslist for $25!!:D

RE: nitro prices
 

the closest hobby shop to me sells byron gen 2 30% for $24 a gallon. i get team sidewinder worlds 30% for $27.50 but when i finish the 3 gallons i have i am switching to byrons

theres a hobby shop by my cousin's house that sells sidewinder worlds 30% for $37 a gallon lol

RE: nitro prices
 

i guess i just need to look around befor i get my next gallon... or maybe find a place this is still cheap (right now) before everyone else jacks their price up...

anyone else notice the huge price jump or is it for the most part just me?

RE: nitro prices
 

well there has been a jump in price from the guy i buy from. he sells it to me for the price he pays from the distributor. its gone up $7.50 in the past 4 months

RE: nitro prices
 

ya i noticed it slowly climbing but this HUGE spike really supprised me... im guessing its cuz i was at a main-stream hobby shop (hobby town)... im going to head downtown to a little mom/pop shop to see what they have for prices... im guessing they're prices will be lower untill they have to re-stock...

RE: nitro prices
 

see traxxas is really all that went up but i hated that garbage no offense to yall who like it but i wont go back from blue thunder or o'donnel's

RE: nitro prices
 

o'd when up too at hobby town... and a few others... but nothing that i run

RE: nitro prices
 

hobby town where in br

RE: nitro prices
 

Odonnels smells funny to me, I think they put somthing in it to make it smell funny, a sweet kinda smell. It also smells kinda odd when burned, reminds me of a gun oil smell. I wonder what and why they put in it.

I have been using Werks and like it better, same nitro content and seems a little faster...

RE: nitro prices
 

At first i thought the LHS is tryin to rip u off but tower is selling 4 gallons for 165 which is 41 a gallon... SO DAMN!

RE: nitro prices
 

Ahh, evolution!!!, gotta love evolution!!!, I'll keep it at that... [8D]

RE: nitro prices
 

You like how they double the price for **** they bought months ago at the cheaper price. Friggen scammers.

RE: nitro prices
 

thats what i was thinking... they could have waiting for the "new" more expensive full to come in before they raped their prices... oh well

RE: nitro prices
 

20% top fuel is still $25 a gallon at my lhs.

RE: nitro prices
 

for what fuel? and what %

i found some trinity moster for $24 a gallon

RE: nitro prices
 

I tell ya what, I will buy from my lhs and deliver it to you for that much! LOL Not really but man that is high! I was just at mine and paid only 9.50 for A qt of o.d 25% and $23.50 for A gallon of the same. It's cheap here. But They told me that they were going to stop selling the 33% because it was getting to be unavaliable. I also have A hobby town by me and the price is only A little higher there.
