    Does different nitro content really make a big impact on a car's performance?

    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...

I don’t have the best pictures but if anyone knows I’d be super grateful. I’m not home at the moment so can’t simply check what it is for a while and need...

    What is it worth??

    I have this nitro monnster truck, and I'm wondering what its worth. I THINK its a vintage kyosho nitro usa-1 crusher, but I'm not 100% on that. Everything seems to be in good working order mechanically, and in good shape visually. I think its been sitting for quite a while, because the engine...

    DIY ram air/ forced induction

    would it be possible to create an air filter for gas/nitro engines with a small 1/10th fan on the top, forcing air through the intake? So even at low speed/ stopped there is more airflow going through the filter? I'm not sure if this would actually do anything but it seems simple, just CA glue a...

    Kyosho FW06 Audi R8 2019

    Just bought this car. Still breaking it in and tuning it. I still want to tune it a bit more before I take it out onto a tar track. I replaced the rubber tires and went with slicks and it handles very well on the street. It does lower it more than stock tires by about a 1mm. It sits 5mm stock...

    Fuel Tank Modification

    I have a couple of Exceed 1/10 Nitro Buggies. I was wondering if anyone has ever come across or invented a gas tank lid that you could fill quickly like a one-way valve? I see that they make pressure guns to "inject" the fuel fast, but you still have to get to the lid and open it, from what I...
