Fuel question in Savage

[daakeung]

I have a savage, and fuel kinda hard to find here, esp the 20% blend

What's the lowest blend I can run in the engine ?

 

[robriguez]

Typically, whetever fuel you used to break the engine in with is the same % you should always use. You can go higher but its generaly not a good idea to go lower.

 

[daakeung]

well i have never used the truck before. So it's still new.
How would 10% work in it?

 

[Monkey Wrench]

What's the manual suggest? Can't recall off the top of my head, but I'd start there.

One of my friends used 10% in a T Maxx and it ran fine.

 

[daakeung]

the manual has 20-25 % only, but it's so hard to get the fuel in Guyana. Is there any way of bringing it in legally? as in shipping.

I really want to get into the hobby, liked it since I was a kid. But now I have trouble running it because of no fuel.


how about AV fuel ?

I used to run 16% in my Maxx, but when I switched to 20% ya could really tell the difference. But as Rob said, its kinda bad to go lower, but if ya aint got much choice, whatdya do.

AV fuel wont work. As for shipping it in, I know Tower does international order but not sure about fuel. I do know ya can only ship it in quarts. But check out www.Towerhobbies.com and see what they can tell ya.

Hi,
I would like to enquire how much would it cost to ship nitro fuel (20%)
to Guyana (south america).
Guyana does not have any hobby shops so I am forced to import my own.
Would you please advise me on methods of shipping the fuel and who I
have to speak to in my Country.

Thank you

Darryl Akeung
