Hey everyone, i just got done running my latest purchased revo 3.3. It has a trinity pipe and header and runs 33%. I can't believe the difference a pipe and header make!!!! I was just wondering what temps you guys that run 33% run at. i noticed i big power increase but much lower temps than with 20%. Any tips on running 33% are welcome as this is the first time i have used 33% in any of my trucks. Thanks.

The last time I used 33% I noticed very finicky tuning, so I went back to 20. I would suggest finding some 30% from someone other than traxxas.

I just got some O'donnell's 30%. And been the best I've used. It has plenty of oil in it so you can lean on it pretty good and still get plenty of lube.

and after sealing my picco, it keeps a nice consistant tune.

I agree, that's what I use. It's not the best, but it's 10 times better than trx 33%.
 
I have byrons 33% and i am going to run it in all my rigs now, i found it holds a tune way better than trx fuel. the only drawback i found was much shorter run times, 20-25 mins with 20% and 10-15 mins with the 33% but i like the performance of it so i am willing to refeul more often.:D
