I scored some used RCs from a buddy a while back. Finally got the Kyosho going 2 days ago. Thing straight rips! It has a REX engine (made in Italy). I'm wondering if I should be running 30% in it. I'm running 20% in my stock Revo and I've been told that's good.
I'm not looking for extreme performance just reliability and proper operation. But I believe a lot of aftermarket and race stuff desires a higher octane in these things.

Also, If anyone can tell me exactly what model this is. I believe it's an Inferno but it seems there are different Inferno models.

I'm looking for reliablilty most of all. Want it to run for a long time. But if the engine runs better and more efficient on 30%, I want to go that route. I'm not sure if 20% will gum up the engine or not.
It was running pretty damn fast (for me) on the 20%
