Can I run blue thunder fuel in a nitro car???

Scooby96

Its a .15cx engine BTW if that makes a difference?

I used Blue Thunder in my EB4 and a few people at our club use it too so I don't see why not. See if you can details on what the best nitro % is for your engine.

I'm not to clued up on the % issue but I always used to get 20% and mine was fine.

hopw that helps.

Presumably 20% is stronger or is it the reverse ???

New To Scoob

The % number is the percentage of nitro added to the fuel, some engines like high nitro some don't, also the engine can be tuned to run the fuel but it might shorten the life span of the engine.
16% is probably enough for just bashing around.

use what you like , dont run it hot though....
may have to richen the mixture for 25-30 grade nitro.

rule of thumb, if you spit on the head and it bubbles ferousiously (sp) then its too hot so richen off the mixture.

IMHO if the engine has had about 20-30 tanks through it, stiuck to 16% quickfire (for pullstarts .12-.15 and if a .21 buggy for example, i run 20-25%

dont be firightened of a bit of smoke (its lubricating the engine, after all)
