Finally used up my 2L of run in fuel and got some more with a higher percentage of nitro....Cant wait to get out and test it out today.... :p

oh and anyone with a nitro R/C, get an infrared thermometer, makes it so much easier to tune properly especially if your new to nitro like me...i picked one up for $50 from dick smiths, its even got a laser pointer so you know your taking the temp from the right spot....i bet my cat wishes the vet had one %-6

I got some 15% nitro fuel. Didn't get a chance to use it today, will definatley be out tomorrow though....Get a thermometer for your tuning though...aim at the head just beside the glow plug and tune so it runs about 110 - 120 celcius....only takes a couple of mins when you first start driving...

yep....i read up on it all before deciding to go this way with tuning.....some days i needs to richen it up to keep the temp right and other days i can lean it out a fair bit.......i'm finding tuning like this so far is working pretty good but if my engine ever lets go because of it i'll let you know.....

heres hoping i never have to let you know about it...
