5% Nitro break in fuel is what I use. If you intent to use 30% Nitro fuel for a .21 engine, I would recommend adding a 0.1 or 0.2mm shim between the sleeve and heatsink. The default needles setting for Novarossi is on the rich side. You should run your car for a few tanks before leaning the needles.
