Default a few questions.

Hello, i have a few q's about nitro r/c. (rc10gt) first off is ride height. I know that when you drop the car 5 inches off the ground it is supposed to level(a arms). Well when i hit jumps it bottoms out(30 wt oil) If use stiffer springs, it's not level when i drop it.Next, fuel. i will be racing occasionally and have heard that 20% burns faster and cleaner. Won;t this burn up your engine faster? I don't want that!. Also what should i do for break in if i'm switching fuels?How do i make my engine last a long time? i use air filter oil, after run oil, i run it a little rich, and keep it spotless.Last, what are the stock settings for a trx pro.15 engine? Thanx!

Default RE: a few questions.

First of all 20% fuel is probably your best bet to be racing with and for regular driving.

You can use 30% which will give your engine more power but in turn wear it out a lot quicker too.

It also isn't a good idea to switch fuels if you have already broken in the engine.

You will have to re-break it in and re-tune it becuase of the new fuel, which makes it useless to do.

And to make your engine last a long time just keep doing what you are doing by using after-run oil, keeping the air filter oiled and clean, and keeping it tuned just right.

As for the stock settings on the TRX Pro.15, you can try [link]http://traxxas.com[/link] if you already haven't.
