Nitro SHortage?

[BJoe]

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

Good thing Byrons is made in the USA?

[cheesecake]

but nitro methane still comes from other countries john from the rcshack has been in contact with byrons and they said not to worry about it and the cost wont go up

[J-Dub]

Yeah. We should make our own, F China. Lol

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.

That wasn't a flame. but for real Byrons is like the best. O'Donnels is great too but it's stinky.

I have tryed both. My revo, savage and 4-tec all run about 220-240 on traxxas 33 all day long so im cool. 4 gal should last me a few weeks.

[J-Dub]

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.

traxxas fuel is garbage and id rather run moose piss in my motors, hows that for flaming

[J-Dub]

I knew it was coming, lol.

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

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.

[Michowski]

33% top fuel ftw

[slaytanic]

What kinda run times you get. Where can I get a case of "moose piss"?

[Michowski]

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.

[J-Dub]

Were you using the stock tank on your Revo? If so that's really good for the 125 CC. I was getting around 9-10 but it was nowhere near tuned in lol
