What is the proper nitro fuel mix that should be used 15%, 20% or 30%? I don't want to void the warranty...

20 is the best where as 30 makes it run faster it also decreases how long it will last

Hi Edward, we recommend 20% nitro fuel. You can find it here: http://www.amazon.com/POWER-MASTER-Quarts-Premium-Engine/dp/B00AFDHAC8/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=AF3OSWQ0BTWJQ

Call Rotella Hot Line! They are a lot of help. All I know is Conventional 15w40 ( White Bottle) is no longer any good for long engine life in personal vehicle. (White) protects your engine to factory spec but It will cause clog all the small oil passages after time. this product is great due to the price, durability, convenience and all climate control (especially in cold weather). I'm in Phx AZ and use all year round even in 120° engine killing heat. No problems even before a coolant flush. Just did one and Temps even lower!

Be sure you're using good fresh 40:1 gas mix. If you aren't sure you can always buy some of the premixed stuff from the big box home improvement store. The other big thing is the choke on this is a bit tricky, make sure you pull it all the way out (the stop lever moves up into the running position when the choke is pulled all the way) then after a few pulls slowly press it back in to half choke, that is about 3/4 of the way back in. I start mine with the chain brake off, not sure if thats proper or not.

50:1 Says so right on the saw. Have had better luck with small engines since began using pure gasoline. (Sans cane of corn juice) Look about, you can probably find a filling station that sells it. Usually 89 octane. Mixing only a qt. at a time works for me...

That's all I use and haven't had any issues. I make sure to use fresh fuel (89 octane-mid grade) and treat with startron for storage. I'm sure the fuel system is ethanol safe as are all IC engines and fuel systems made today. If you have easy access to non oxygenated fuel, of course that would be preferable.

I mix the fuel at a 40:1 RATIO, I don't remember what the manual suggested but this is the ratio I run in all my saws with good results . Running a mixture with a higher oil ratio can at worse only foul the plug or cause poor running, as long as the plug is not fouling the additional oil only adds protection to the engine internals. I also use synthetic mix oil and have never had any problem with premature internal wear or fouling of the plugs. Hope this helps

Hello Jennifer!The Car only works with nitro that you can find in specialized hobby stores. Do not use normal gasoline, it can break your Car. Good Luck!

Double A Batteries (4 of them for the 2.4Ghz remote and 4 for the receiver pack in the car) and Nitro fuel (20 to 33%). Traxxas brand fuel is good, and if you buy 20%, I think it's easier to tune the engine. If it's below 50 degrees outside, then have your son wait until it's warmer to break it in. Just my opinion.

Yes, that's all I put it in. The manual says to use gasoline with no more than 10% ethanol or you'll ruin the engine. I put pure premium gas (NO ETHANOL), like I do in all my vehicles. The farmers can stick their corn you know where, ethanol ruins gasoline powered machines and they know it, yet they keep trying to shove this "alternative" gasoline down our throats. Use premium and make sure there's no ethanol added to it.

Not really an answer, but I use mine around twice a month and use only non ethanol gas in my mix. Never any problem cranking, but I've never ran it completely out. Like I said not really an answer.

If you're new to nitro definitely look at temperature gun and after run oil and always run all the gas out if you're not going to run it in the next couple of days WD40 works fine for after run oil I've got a slayer 4x4 and a 4 tec been having the truck about a year and haven't had to change a part yet it's very durable

Use premium gasoline and if you can't get non-ethanol use a fuel stabilizer additive.

I called Torco and they say it is 100%. I use a 15-20% mix with Metanol for a modified 5 hp briggs

I use 108 octane. Works in my Harley, ATV and Camaro with 650 HP. Cheaper too. Hope that helps ya man . Tom

Use regular unleaded gas but add Stabil or some additive. The 15% ethanol tears up those small engines.

1. Make sure you are getting spark. If not correct problem. (I found a large mud-dabbers nest under my re-coil cover.) 2. If you are getting spark, you might have bad fuel. If your using older fuel with ethanol, it might have water in it. I started to use marine fuel in all my yard equipment, generators, etc. to avoid this problem. It is more expensive, but the results are worth it. I hope this is helpful.
