#1
hey has anyone tried this or do you know if mixing two different brands of nitro fuel would increase power or ruin my engine?

if so what brands should I mix for my trx 2.5 (stock t-maxx engine)

thanks, traxxas thasher

SixVi6-Camaro has done it! and he didn't have any problems. just had to retune the motor. i think he mixed traxxas top fuel and whatever tony was running then? actually he took second in the buggy mains in st. louis with the mix!

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.

I have red alert 10% and top fuel 20% should I mix those. also this is an engine that was broken in with 20% and driven with 20%

would mixing a lower percentage fuel mess up the motor?

it shouldn't, but i'm not a perfesionall! six ran o'donnels and top fuel/ tony ran odonnels mixed with trinity monster brew. mixing those to should hurt the motor you just have to re-tune it for the different oil content/ nitro content
