nitro fuel

Hello! i’m having troubles keeping the temp down on my nitro engine. I know the basics of tuning and what to look for when it’s running too rich or lean. originally, the engine was running too lean with temps getting up too 200-260 degrees after only a couple minutes of idling, so tuned it to...

I am thinking of putting in a second fuel tank into my Hobao hyper 7 TQ2 Has anyone else done something similar? Any advice?

Hey Nitro R.C. lovers! Today I bring you guys the "Frankenstein Rustler" which was made out of 2 used cars (Rustler and Jato) and a few new parts.. I wanted it to look different than the regular Rustler (grey upper chassis) and since the Jato's tranny is black I decided to black out as much as...

I’ve tried big block but that ended up destroying other components so i figured modding the existing 3.3 engine, I’m forced to run on 16% fuel since anything higher requires license to purchase (which i ofc don’t have) Many have told about swapping to an os 11k carb, but are there any other...

how much horsepower do these engines make? And what are the differences between 2.5 and 2.5R, some online articles say that the only difference is the blue cooling head but traxxas states that 2.5R makes 0.5 horse power more than the original 2.5, how come?

Q1: What does LSN do, does it effects low rpm or low throttle? if i blip the gas ones (from zero to wide-open quickly, then immediately releasing the trigger) is it HSN or LSN? Q2: does HSN affects idle? Q3: the relation between LSN and idle crew, i can affect idle by either leaning the LSN or...

what's your opinion on the traxxas 3.3 engine? power wise? reliability wise? connecting rod failure? What fuel suits the best? And why didn't Traxxas develop a big block instead? what's your opinion on the traxxas top fuel? really the best fuel as Traxxas advertised? why so high oil content...

I'm curious. I was running the 20% backyard basher by morgan fuel on my savage. I say was because its currently OTB. The onroad car i have running some 33% top fuel that i will change once my jug runs out. I perfer the 20% because its a few bucks cheaper. I also got some 5% morgan fuel from the...

I just got my first nitro rc 3 days ago (it's a HSP nitro rc monster truck 1:10 second hand) (with a SH 18 engine) and it basically looks new and is visually in great condition. Tho i haven't been able to start it yet (according to the previous owner he last started it in December and it should...

So, i just got my Kyosho inferno neo 3.0 and the closest shop with fuel only has the Nitrolux Energi 2 Off road, 16% by weight and 12% volume percent. ( https://modelixracing.com/en/18393-nitrolux-energy2-off-road-16-by-weight-eu-no-licence-1-l.html ). I've watched videos and done som reading...

mod or upgrade that improves power and handling were in count as well:)

I'm running a stock revo 3.3 with optimix 16% fuel I'm running my engine relatively rich and a whole bunch of blue smoke is visible during the acceleration, so i assume that everything should be theoretically fine apart from the fact that the temp was at 280f, i tried richening the needles but...

I’m running a stock 3.3 engine, and I’m switching to 16% fuel, question is, should I use a different plug to adapt to the new fuel I will be using? (Currently running stock plug and worked perfectly on 20%) thx

Q1: is it worth purchasing 20 or 25% nitro in Europe when u need a license for it? Q2: I'm running a stock 3,3 engine and wanna know if switching from 20% to 16% really is a night and day difference? Q3: Will fuel with a lower nitro content decreases the life of the engine? Q4: I'm into buying...

Hi all I have a thunder tiger eb4 s2 pro and was wondering if you could suggest a fuel percentage to use that would be easy to tune and bash around with also glow starter I currently use R2/5

Ok so the only way I can get my 3.3 to start and idle is for it to be at half throttle. I myself have been over it numerous times as well as the hobby shops, and can't figure it out. Brend new everything except piston and sleeve,because they were still in good repair,new carb,tank,lines. Lots of...

Recently purchased and awaiting a delivery of a kyosho drx gp with the gx18 engine I've yet to find any information wether any other body shells fit this as it is a unique 1/9 size. I was hoping to get a Evo or m3 or focus style shell but am unaware what my options are. I've looked into mp9...

Did a search and didn't find anything good. I stopped by my LHS and purchased a quart of some new nitro fuel. This past summer, I ran 20% Traxxas Top Fuel through my Tmaxx 3.3. After using up all the Top Fuel, I purchased some more potent Sidewinder fuel with 30% nitro and 12% oil. A quick...

Ok well I finished my revo Big block quest and just wanted to give info on how i did it.... I used golden horizon upper hitched control arms which give you more than enough space to fit any rotor or pull start using the trx mount !!!! ..I did have to move the Trans forward and also shave a the...

Just wondering if anyone knows about Artic fuels,bought a case a while ago of 30% fuel performed great,now unable to find it
