Anyone know if you can run this on Revo 3.3 15% nitro

% of oil ? that # should tell you

15 but it says it’s only for airplanes doesn’t but says for airplanes and helis best fuel

Doesn’t say for cars or nothin

15% is fine. But..heli and airplane fuel has a higher percentage of oil. IF it runs it will be smokey and may foul.

Did you already buy it? Can you return it?

Yeah I already did they said it would work and it doesn’t affect it and I didn’t even know it was airplane and heli fuel I keep seeing in other places don’t use this so idk

I’m gonna try and get rid of it somewhere or return

I ran that in my Revo 3.3 back in the day and it worked just fine. It needed a bit of a different tune than the Traxxas fuel used. I can't remember whether it was richer or leaner than the Traxxas stuff, but it has been almost 20 years since I burned any Nitro. I'm thinking it was a bit leaner but don't quote me on that.

Alright thanks just haven’t been able to get it tuned correctly and honestly feels really sluggish now

it will be less power compared to 33% if thats what you were running before.
nitromethane is only to increase power in these nitro engines, the true "fuel" is the methanol. higher nitromethane content also allows for a wider tuning window because it is easier to ignite and more volatile so it will be harder to tune comparatively.
that fuel also has 17% oil (as advertised as least) and is full synthetic. keep in mind airplanes and helicopters both typically run almost full throttle the entire time they are running, so their lubrication requirements are different, and also having that much oil is going to lessen the tuning window as well.
i dont know your relationship with your LHS but it might be worth trying to have them order some land vehicle fuel in. personally i prefer sidewinder race blend 20% nitro/12% oil . try to stay 12% or under oil (unless you are running ABN type engines) as any higher it just makes for more finnicky tuning and reduces power as the actual fuel is just getting replaced with unneccesary oil.

Alright thank you I was running 20% before

I wouldn't run airplane fuel in a truck

Yeah I’m not gonna thanks
