fuel?
I assume you have been observing this forum for some time now. Fuel types and uses have been discussed many times before. Obviously you haven't been paying attention or don't know how to use the search function. Personally, I use 15 or 20% model airplane fuel with at least 18% oil including some castor in my cars as well as my airplanes. I have never has any negative issues using airplane fuel in my cars. BTW, I have two Nitro Rushes and several other cars. I also have over forty years experience with model glow engines. Just my five cents.

I purchased one "new". The was purchased "used". One is dedicated to on-road only (street tires, sway bars, pipe), the other is my off-roader. I like the fact that the servos and receiver are covered and somewhat protected. I feel they are easy to work on. Some say the chassis is "weak" and tends to bend. I do not "jump" either of them so the chassis "problem" hasn't been an issue with me. I suggest you get some DuBro threaded camber adjusters and the HPI racing clutch. Do NOT get the Titanium turnbuckles. They will not bend or break if you hit something and the control arms will break instead. The Dubro turnbuckles will bend in a hard slam saving the expensive parts. They can then be easily straightened again. Like any glow engine, DON'T run it too lean or you will shorten it's life.
