Hello. I was just wandering what fuel and nitro % everyone uses? I have a nitro rustler with maybe a gallon of fuel through it maybe a little more. I broke it in on traxxas 33% fuel and was going to just keep it on that but I ended up deciding to switch to 20% because I was told it would be easier to tune. The problem is I had already bought a gallon of 33% 🤦‍♂️🤣 so right now I am mixing 20%/33% at 50/50 and it's running fabulous. What is the oil content on traxxas? I only run like 2 or 3 tanks then k put it up for the day and it's ran like 4 times a week because I am gone for work. I hear ppl say tune by sound and not really by temp but it's running at about 250 and I live in Florida where it's like 95 out every day. Is traxxas fuel ok to stay on when I'm done with what I have or should I switch?
 
VP 30/9 for drag racing.

Byron's 25/12 for bashing (I had a large stock before they stopped making it).
 
I have some 20%, (its pink in colour!) its all I could get delivered here, I have never used anything greater than 5% previously. My engine an Irvine .20 seems to kick back when turning over, but runs very well (scary well) on the bench turning a prop.
It has been suggested that I lower the compression ratio using suffer some cylinder head spacers but given that it runs I'm going to give it a blast and see how it copes.
