I was just wondering if any of you are running some really high % nitro out there.

I use 30% content. All the shops carry it and it helps to deliver more power than the 20% line up.
 
I've used Powermaster 25% for my last 3 gallons... good stuff, and very reasonably priced. I think a few other fuel producers actually get stuff from Powermaster and rebadge it.

Sirio .18 runs smooth and very cool with it.
 
trinity monster 30%-- makes a world of difference and power for me
 
I have used 30% O' Donnell's in my ported Maxx and the thing was screaming around like a monster. It made a huge difference in my case. But for the most part I stick with 20%
 
you can run any content fuel you wish you just have to tune for it!,I personally run 30% trinity platinum!
 
20% Blue thunder and trinity 20%. I try to use the same fuel but I really haven't noticed any performance gains or losses with either fuel.

Tune yes but I wouldn't really want to try tuning a land based vehicle using 65% unless it had some sort of radiator for it.
 
I tried some trinity 30% and it didnt seem to do much. Then I tried some 40% blue thunder and it looked like my car was floating. I was just asking to wip my credit card out and start adding things to my shopping cart from tower hobbies. I have about a quart left of 40% and I think I'm going to save it for when the guy down the street takes out his ntc3. I worked him hard last time, this time he'll ask me to tune his car.

I run 20% in my NTC3, it does real good, very minimal wear and tear on my mill.... Dont forget the after run oil if u let it sit for a long time......
 
don't you guys think of engine wear? Your engine needs the lubrication. But hey if your wallets is fat go for it. Mine is near anorexic so I stay with 20% Trinity
 
i run 90% but that only lasts for about 2 seconds!! lol jk guys. 30 or 20% is usualy what i run. blue thunder or o donnel, and I've tried trinity 20 and 30 before:constipat
