Default Calling all Nitro fuel RC Car/Buggy owners...

Guys,

I have a T-Maxx running a OS21 RG engine...

I was just wondering what fuel you guys used and would recommend? I currently use Blue Thunder 20% but ive been told this isnt the best?

any advice/recommendations greatly appreciated

would 25% be too higher nitro content for me though?

the manual recommends between 10 and 30% with 10% as a starting point with NOT LESS than 18% lubricant?

The quality of the lubricant in the fuel is far more important than the quantity

I'd run that if I went back to nitro

you'd probably be best off with 16% to 20% if you are only doing a spot of bashing....if you are racing then maybe head upwards of 20%....if you can get it definately use byron fuels
