changing fuel %
 
when braking in my revo i thought i was using 20% blue thunder
but it turned out my son had droped a bottle of 30% and put a hole in it
so he had pured it in a 20% empty bottle i have used about 1/2 of a gallon
now before i found out


can i switch back with out major problems

It's not ideal changing fuel - you can change downwards, but you can't go back up.

Long-term, it's best you stick to one fuel. Now the mistake is done, there's not alot you can do. However, if you intend to run 20% from now on, you should be fine. Or you could stick with 30% and ensure the head clearance is correct for that amount of nitro.

Blue Thunder is a fuel often scorned by nitro 'experts'. Certainly, I've heard some horror stories. For racing, you might be better off finding some alternatives and give your engine a sporting chance of making it past the 1 gallon mark! ;) :D

thanks for the info
what fuel would you use?
and i do plan to use 20% from now on the lhs only sells blue thunder
& traxxas and they seem to all run out of the traxxas . i would be willing to
order a case at a time if you have a good vender that i could use.


thanks again for your help

O'Donnell, Tornado, Elite 'Pink Power', Supa Glo, are all fuels I've used on various engines and can personally recommend. Trinity fuels are very good from what I've been told.
