Everybody here uses a minimum of 20% Nitro, some as high as 30-40%.
red alert 10% - slim - 12-31-2005
30 minimum for me
red alert 10% - Traxxas_Junkee - 12-31-2005
how old is it?
red alert 10% - kevinF - 12-31-2005
I think about a year

How was it stored then... that can be a while for fuel, especially if stored improperly.
As for fuel... my minimum was 20%... now 30%. Hehe... On the next maxys order (I think it was snakebite I was talking too?? can't remember) I was planning on going in on a case of 40%. Hehehe... :racing:
red alert 10% - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 12-31-2005
Mich is the Maxy's order guy. at least last time for 30%.
red alert 10% - FreeRideFrosty - 12-31-2005
Yeah... it is easiest when there are a few guys ordering it at once. I don't have the nee for 4 gallons at a time so I was going to take 2 and I think it was snakebite that was going to take the other 2. I think he was talking about having some custom mixed too... oh well. I'll trust him till I blow my motor. lol
red alert 10% - thenewguy821 - 12-31-2005
It was me. I think Firesprink and I are going to be ordering some Maxy's sometime soon. If we do, you are more than welcome to split in the cost. We'll probably do 35%, since I don't want to drop much lower than I have been running. So far, I have been very happy with the White Lightning, I just don't know how much longer I will be easily able to get the 40%....
red alert 10% - FreeRideFrosty - 12-31-2005
Gotcha... don't quite understand the reasoning behind dropping to 35% but that is cool with me. I can always bump up from 30% as that is what I will probably start with in my new motor...

racin ranger might take 1
red alert 10% - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 12-31-2005
why are u guys running like 35-40% nitro and in what engines? just curious
red alert 10% - thenewguy821 - 12-31-2005
I first got the White Lightning 40% "Just to see..." I was running a Picco .21 comp in my Mugen Buggy and Mach .26 in the LST. I figured "If I blow the engine, it's an excuse to upgrade". I was VERY pleased with the added performance and the ease of tuning, and have run the WL 40% since. I put about 4 gallons through the Mach .26 and about 2 gallons through the Picco before I installed the Sirio .21 into the Buggy. When I sold the LST, it still had TONS of power and very strong compression. The Sirio had about 3-4 gallons when I sold it, and the pinch was still so tight, you could barely turn the engine over by hand. I've also run 40% in a Stock TC3, stock Savage, Orion Wasp .26 Savage and am currently running it in a TRX 2.5 in my Revo.

could i mix the red alert 10% with trinnity monster hp 20%?
red alert 10% - kevinF - 01-01-2006
a couple of guys have said that you could do that:
Tex Wrote:yep you can mix fuels no problem, just retune (if needed)
SixVi6-Camaro Wrote:Mixing the fuels or changing fuels won't hurt anything. For a while I used Monster HP 20% and Odonels 30% mix. I could not stand the smell of odonels so I mixed them and ended up liking the mix in my xtm .247 that I used to run. Like everyone said you may or may not have to retune the engine when you change fuels other than that no problems.
so I believe you can. I just don't want to because I love the smell and performance of top fuel 20%

You can mix fuels, you WILL need to retune when mixing fuels. Keep in mind, if you are running a 20% fuel, and mix equal parts 20% with 10%, you will lowr your nitro content exponentially. (Example: 1/2 gallon 20% mixed with 1/2 gallon 10% = 1 gallon 15% --- 3/4 gallon 20% mixed with 1/4 gallon 10% = 1 gallon 17.5% etc.) When you lower the nitro content of your fuel, you will also lower the performance of your engine. In MOST cases where people mix fuels, they mix similar nitro contents, to keep similar performance.
Traxxas Thrasher, I'm not trying to step on your thread, but I wanted to add to the answer on mixing fuels.

ok thanks i'll just stick with trinnity then
red alert 10% - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 01-01-2006
RR1, if nothing else, I heard 10% fuel works great in Zippo lighters, if you smoke...jk...sorry.
