Use your 20 or 25% nitro you'll be just fine. The worlds events "IFMAR" only allow up to 25% nitro... And "in my opinion" it's easier to tune motors with a lower nitro percentage... So, be worlds legal and tune your motor to live longer :-)

Excellent. I'll stick to my Byron 20% for everything then. I'm not out to win races or points championships... just have fun and be in the ballpark.
Ok, here's another couple:
For as long as I have been racing, I don't think there have ever been as many questions about any given car or class ever before.
Ok, here's another couple:
- What are the screws/screw holes in the outside of the rear body mount for?
- Can someone explain the technical aspects and tuning of that type of rear body mount system? Why does it move with the suspension and what do the adjustments in the mount offer?

the holes in the body mount accept screws which can be adjusted to allow the body to rest directly on them.
the floating body mount transfers downforce directly to the suspension and keep the rear of the body in the same position regardless of the suspension angle. normally you can move the body mount position to raise or lower the body/body angle for more or less rear downforce.

As far as I know, it's the driver who qualifies in all R/C racing. Changing cars would only be advantageous to someone who wants a really different setup for a main and doesn't want to change the whole car between rounds. I don't think I have ever heard of anyone doing that successfully very often.
Here's a bland question... who sells black wheeled tires? I cant stand the yellow, and white is just dull to me. GQ orange is cool but tough to find. Anyone make black or grey (a la Protoform photos) wheels or are the ones I have seen just dyed?

As far as I know, the pressure chamber helps the motor from not leaning out in the event of it running out of gas and if the cars turns over. Bottomline, it helps regulates the pressure to the tank.
