Is the RC scene cooling off? - Tex - 07-08-2008
20 to 30 percent change will not affect tuning that much, something else is wrong (probably just needs to be fully re-tuned).
30% will make the motor run cooler and faster, always run 30% IMO.

20% runs cooler actually

I've always had 20% Run Hotter. Methanol Burns hotter than Nitro.

I thought the same thing talked to ed bridges and rich reid about it and they both said more nitro burns hotter more power and less run time

Lol then why is it higher nitro fuels burn cooler. from 20% to 30% engine temps dropped for me.

Why does Odonnell 20% run cooler than Top Fuel 20% ?

Because TF is junk

I think i might be off the thread subject.

lol how are they gonna know what you burnt in your engine. its BS run byrons. unless blue thunder, makes your engine blue. Lol

Exactaly... What J-Dub said.
Is the RC scene cooling off? - Tex - 07-09-2008
Odonnel and Byrons makes your engine have a brown oil coating on it so they will know.
Either way they don't care they just say that to sell more fuel.
Is the RC scene cooling off? - J-Dub - 07-10-2008
figured the brown coating was normal on the piston from combustion Lol. Im going with what Tex said...Traxxas's Customer service wouldnt be what it was if they said "F U, U DIDNT BUY TOP FUEL OOLLOLOLOLOL"
Is the RC scene cooling off? - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 07-10-2008
the coating on everything is oil burn off as well as the color. Ive heard some bad things about the byrons gen 2 shit now maybe I should go back to werks fuel
Is the RC scene cooling off? - J-Dub - 07-10-2008
I've not had an issue with the new fuel. It runs cooler, from the old fuel I was significantly richer with same needles. 3 gallons and the Vag is still running strong, LOL. we'll see what happens when I get to about 5 or 6

This is Brokefreak.. The scene here in Michigan sucks! No one bashin over here and the track down the steet ( dirtburners) closed. I do still get out on some construction sites near me. When I want to piss off the neightbors I run my truck on the lawn. Is the Chicago scene still hoppn?

Overall,I think the rc scene is expanding ever since they showed the IFMAR world finals on Speed TV.
Is the RC scene cooling off? - Tex - 11-02-2008
yep, I was at a party last night and the guys were talking about the nitro RC cars they saw on Speed channel....I just happen to over hear the conversation and walked over to them and was telling them more about the hobby.
Is the RC scene cooling off? - rcguy8038 - 11-02-2008
Well hopefully you got them into RC
It's always good to have RC expanding...my local hobby shop is an hour away Dx

What's up guys. I haven't been on the forum too much, but have still been messing around with the RC's on occasion. So far I am really diggin my 1/5th scale HPI Baja as it's easy to tune, will sit and idle forever and get close to 45 minutes of run time on some good ol 87-93 octane fuel. Sometimes will throw a bit of race fuel from the Mustang in it just for the smell...LOL. Ended up selling off all my nitro's in favor of the gas stuff. We'll see, but I may end up picking up a Slash to mess around with as they look pretty cool and are fairly cheap if I don't really like it.
Sup Tex....how's Texas treating you?
Is the RC scene cooling off? - Tex - 11-07-2008
what up Scott!
Texas is awesome....weather is great!
Is the RC scene cooling off? - rcguy8038 - 12-20-2008
I would like to be in Texas....no snow or ice.
Is the RC scene cooling off? - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 12-20-2008

Is the RC scene cooling off? - Tex - 12-24-2008
