That smell you like is castor oil not nitro.

What they hell. Breathing nitro smoke is already bad enough, now you want to add another chemical to the mix...... Leave the perfume for the wife.

Scented smoke, you got to be kidding me... Come one GUYS

Haha, I felt the same way until someone was running the coconut parma. This stuff smells GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

If your trying to be THAT DUUUUUDE that people go to and are like "WHAT KIND OF FUEL ARE YOUUUUUUUU RUNNING THAT SMELLS LIKE STRAWBERRYS"??!! then buy it, it works.

Personally i find the smell of nitro to be somewhat offensive. It stings my nose hairs. Using an additive to make it smell better is good imo. If it doesn't change the tune and doesn't gum up the engine then i'm fine with it. Its cheap and it helps the fuel smell less offensive, i'm all for it. I have only seen it at one hobby shop and bought a bottle to try out, i must say i was pleasantly suprised. I haven't been using it lately but will probably go back to using it here soon. I was hoping the smoke would get the mosquitoes away, but they don't seem to mind it :/

I hope all you scent lovers have nice big flowers painted on your bodies too... This is NITRO racing - sounds like EP would be better for some of you...

Are you so insecure about yourself that you need to post these stupid remarks ?
