hey guys,

as the title says 'i want to run 20% but can't get it '

wats up with that ???

wen i go to my lhs called antics all i see is 16% 25% 30% etc

can u get 20% easy from your lhs?? or is it just me

midyou i can get it off the net no problems but i just dont want to order it i will if i have to

wat 20% fuel do u recomend?? i heard tornado is a good fuel is this true

i got a thundertiger ssk .15bxs p/start engine

thanks nf123
 
You'd have to talk with the hobby shops in your area. I have no idea why the hobby shops in Wales, UK don't have 20% nitro.

Never heard of Tornado. I use Trinity Monster Brew 20% in my Revo and Savage and O'Donnells 30% in my Hyper 7.
 
my lhs only sell 20 and 30 percent nitro. i use O'donnells 20% racing fuel (dont remember the exact name. I'm to lazy to go to the basement to check)
 
thanks monkey and danny i will fone them up tomorrow and see if they do sell it but i never saw it if not ill have to order some of the net


hers that tornado I'm on about mokey

I use blue thunger sport mix(20%), although I haven't used any other fuel, this is the one recomended from my LHS, and I have been impressed with it so far. I will keep using it, unless the recomend something else, and have a good explanation of why.
 
jaymasta : in that sidewinder fuel ? if so i want that in 20% coz it is wiked fuel i had it before

does any1 agree with mee on this 1 ?

Hard to agree when I cannot understand what it is you are saying, man. What I could decipher from that random collection of letters was asking if the Blue Thunder that jaymasta mentions is Sidewinder and the answer is no. If it was Sidewinder, I'm sure they'd call it Sidewinder. Blue Thunder, by the way, is a very good fuel as well! I used it until my LHS quit carrying it.

As for the rest, sorry. My decoder ring is in the shop.
 
Pickey pickey pickey aren't ya monkey wrench,get over it and just buy 30% you'll live. My lhs carry's 25% HAHA...
 
Usually 20% isnt that hard to find maybe you should just run 30%. If you can't find 20% and you really want it you might have to order it from somewhere but i have no idea where??! I would just run 30%

Nobody from Wales that I have ever spoken to has ever had a vocabulary which seems to be a mix of Welsh, Bronx and Ali G.

Nitrofreak, If you want answers try speaking a with a little less of the attempted "Street" style of writing as some of the more informed and helpful are quite old (myself included!) :) and either cannot translate or cannot be bothered to before trying to help.

BTW Just go straight to 25% Byrons, Model Technics or O'Donnell.

Tornado, personally I don't like it, some do, some don't.

Monkey, mix 20 and 30, you get your 25 Monkey Brew!

Not if you mix 1/2 gallon of 20 with a gallon of 30......what would that make:ponder2: ha ha ha
 
I'm sorry about the style of writing i use guys but i am WELSH u see thats how everyone speaks down here. about the fuel i currently use 16% so i could just a 25% fuel and use it just like that.

i thought u would have to go up to 20% then 25% am i right ??

and i belive that once u go up in the % u can never come down ?

Incorrect. You can go direct to 25% and if you don't like it you can go back to 16%, basically the only thing you will have to do is retune your engine.

Oh man! Just have to rub that in, don't ya! HA HA HA!!!! I probably will, once I burn what's left of the Monster Brew.

Anyone know, is it alright to mix 20% and 30% from two different manufacturers (Trinity Monster Brew and O'Donnells) that have different oil percentages or am I just asking for problems?

No it isn't.

Like I said, nobody I've ever met in Wales or who is Welsh speaks like you, lose the fake Ali G style of writing like you did in your last post here and you'll find that people will be more inclined to be helpful.
 
you should be fine moving up. Just remember to run though the break-in again with the new fuel. I went from Traxxas 10% to O'donell 20% fine.
