How to Choose RC Car Fuel

Robbie for village expert take a little time to talk about fuel. These cars all do run specially formulated fuel that you can find at any, just about any hobby store. They don't run off of pump gas or chainsaw gas or anything like that so you do have to go to your hobby store. Biggest considerations really as far as the types of fuel it's sort of like your gas station. Some of it offers different chemicals and mixtures some are more performance some are better for longevity, but in general most of your fuels are the same so it's kind of whatever feels best to you type of thing. The main thing that most folks, you got to pay attention to is you get the right kind of fuel. What we carry in here is your car fuel, actually for the cars. They do make specifics fuel for airplanes, helicopters, different types of RC vehicles. The other thing is the concentration; again, it's made out of nitro-methane like a top fueled dragster, methanol like a Indi car, or a sprint car, and then various synthetic caster oil type of blends in it. Main thing is deciding which nitro context you want to use whether its 20 percent for a small block motor, 30 percent for a big block motor. Drag racers will go considerably higher 40, 50, maybe even 60 percent nitro in their cars.
