Right now im running 20% traxxas nitro fuel because it is the easiest thing to find out here. I was wondering what a higher nitro content like 30% would do to any nitro engine. I would also like to know what fuels you guys run. Also what would need to be done in the way of tuning by running the 30% over the 20% nitro?
Thanks

RE: Fuel
The O'donnell 30% is some good stuff. If you want a little more lubrication/protection since you would be going to 30%, run their RTR blend instead of the normal car or race blend.
I saw a decrease in temps and more power from going to 30%. I've used O'donnell and Maxy's 30% now and got almost the same results from each when compared to the 20%. These engines don't last long anyway, what's the POSSIBILITY of knocking another half-gallon of life off going to hurt if you get better performance and cooler running?
