Nitro SHortage?

Anybody else heard about this? Supposedly the Chinese have cut back on nitromethane productions to make themselves look enviromentally "Cleaner" for the Olymics and closed the majority of plants until the event is over. There's been some posts on the Traxxas and RCCrawler off topic forums.

Ya i have heard about it as well. I guess the top fuel guys are making the move toward more ethanol based fuels because of it

I heard traxxas's warehouse is completly OUT of 33%. They said that they wont produce any till after summer. The cheapest 33% i found was 23.99 a gal, so i bought 4 of them.

Man...Byrons Gen2 30% will smoke traxxas fuel anyday... From Yellow to Orange I had to lean my VG by almost 3/4 of a turn

Hehe my revo runs best around 270, on 30%. my OS VG runs amazing at 265-270, with almost 11 to 12 minutes of run-time. w00t w00t. Lean her out!

Guess Traxxas is changing fuel manufacturers and their fuel will now be sold in bottles instead of cans, I think Morgan is the one Lori mentioned today.

Is that 20% moose piss or 30%?
You should try that new skunk piss, it smells about like OD's but makes power! P.U. ;0

What kinda run times you get. Where can I get a case of "moose piss"?
06-16-2008, 11:21 AM
On my 3.3 I used to get around 12 minutes. I would pit at 12 to be safe but there was times I was getting 15 minutes. Depended on the weather really. On my old p5, I would get 10 minutes for a pit. Both motors ran temps of 220 all day long. I couldnt ask for anything more. Idled great, great power. I guess Mike just doesnt know how to tune or something.
