I am at the very early sages of building vettal's RB7 car. Having not made a nitro fueled car before what is the correct mixture to use and where to obtain.

Yes thanks Mr T I've already viewed build instructions for up to Engine build stage. I think all are great and spot on. Couldn't ask for better. Do you know if I can view instuctions up to completion?
Many thanks. PW

As above, the recommended is anywhere between 15 & 25%, I suspect however most people I think will end up using 16%. Its the best trade in terms of power for cost, plus there's other factors, go for a read on Nitro, using a higher % fuel doesn't necessarily = more power.

I will probably end up using 25%. I have loads of it from when modelzone where closing down. Works well in my 1/8 monster truck and buggy.

The most important thing is once you have picked a fuel try not to change it or be very careful if you do. The engines needle settings will not be set up for the new fuel and you could damage the engine.
