Traxxas Radio Control Nitro Cars
Traxxaa Revo 3.3 RC (Radio controlled) Nitro fuel powered radio controlled car?
I recently bought a Traxxas Revo 3.3 RC (Radio controlled) Nitro fuel powered radio control car. The owner’s manual states that I can run this car on 10%, 20% or 33% nitro content fuel. However, after choosing one of these fuels for the ‘run in’ periods, the manufacturer recommends that I stick with that fuel foe the life time of the car. Does anybody know why I should stay with the same nitro content fuel for the entire lifetime, when the car is designed for all three %’s.? What damage could be done to the engine if I were to change?
Concievably in the long run switching fuels could damage your truck but in my experience I’ve never had a problem switchign fuels.
Once you’ve broken your engine in at a certain percent it has been tuned and “run in” for being used to that fuel. Now traxxas, would like you to keep it at that percent on the basis that once it has been broken in the engine almost has a memory to run at a certain temp and combined mixture. While this is true, if you change fuel %’s and set the carb leaner or richer to the new fuel there should be no real damage.
I have used different percents of fuel in most of my trucks, 20% for break in and bashing, and then when competing in races, run in the engine and tune the carb to run 30%.
While I truly believe it is safe to switch percents, you should be experienced with nitro engines and know exactly what you’r doing with the carb when changing. It may be safe to switch percentages of fuel but I would never on the other hand change brands of fuel. Every car/truck I have started with traxxas fuel, I’ve only used Traxxas top fuel since then.
*Traxxas states that as a precautionary measure to ensure no matter what you have a longer engine life. They want all users new and old to the hobby to be assured it will run better longer
