Yea the more I think about it the more I want to go for a big block set up and give another brand a shot. I meant to say Losi 8ight-T earlier (the truggy), has great reviews. But I do like the HPI Savage a lot too - seems like the brand will be able to get parts out to the market which is...
Will absolutely let you guys know how it shakes out. Really hoping for good results here and I think I will get them. I cannot do any better on price so hopefully this becomes a reliable go-to product. Been looking at the 3.3 T-Maxx, 3.3 Revo, Losi 8ight, and the HPI Savage X 4.6.
I think the Traxxas fuel I was using was also at 14% and never really had problems tuning the engine on it. Allegedly the S-W fuel would be 12% Synthetic + 2% Castor Oil for a total oil content of 14%. Will let you know how it shakes out.
Throwing out an update - went with the S-W Hobby offering. Just got my two gallons of 20% Nitro and 14% oil content fuel. was a total of $72.66 with shipping to my front door. Cannot wait to try it out and report back.
I expect in the very near future a new nitro motor and/or nitro truck so...
Hello D3MON - thank you for your reply and the breakdown on the oil properties. May I ask what fuel(s) you personally like to use? Brands/Nitro%/Oil Content
Cool - seems like it is working for you just fine. Are you swapping out other motors on your Revo and Slayer when it is warmer out? I was reading on the VP fuels (not sure if it is all of their RC fuels) but they claim that after run maintenance is not required?
I did come across the following web page: http://www.s-whobby.com/
Read some good things about this source and reached out. Supposedly they do a lot of the RC nitro fuel manufacturing for the east coast. They will make any blend of Nitro%/Oil% you want. For the 20% Nitro with 14% oil, it is $27...
Hey JV - thank you for sharing and very interesting. Good to know and I am happy to hear it is working out for your, particularly in your TRX 3.3. Did you use a different fuel in the past on the same motor or is Bones Motsports the only one?
Yea that Hazmat charge is a real killer. I did mock orders of four or six gallons and having an extra $75 added on top of a $30 shipping charge is a bit much. If I can find something at a brick and mortar shop I will ask about getting a deal if purchasing multiple gallons. Could not hurt to ask...
Very interesting - just learned something new. I will definitely check this option out regarding the air fuels. Appreciate your feedback regarding the oil percentage content.
Hello Friends and Happy New Years Eve!
Hoping to gather some feed back on the following fuel choices that are currently available for purchase. I have only used Traxxas 20% Top Fuel and do not have experience with any other brands. Right now one hobby store in my area has that in quarts and it...
