Just wondering, can I use those RC cars fuel on my scooter?
I know they have a bit of nitro and methanol. Besides, is 1liter OK mixed with the remaining fuel of the scoot? (5l total, so, make it 4 liters premium fuel + 1 liter RC fuel)
Wondering if will harm my scooter. But would be interesting to see how good the take off will be
Probably will need to be careful to avoid full throttle because of heating, right?

I would do some research first. Others have done it, you must up jet a crazy amount running 100% RC.
If I tried it I would have a CHT gauge for sure.

Not worth the hassle. Even if you used it straight it would be extremely corrosive and very unpleasant to run/handle. Smells good though lol. |

We got crazy and ran RC fuel in one of our drag bikes a few years back.
We... uhhh... didn't win anything that year.

I would stick with pump gas unless you know what your doing with the different fuels. It's a scooter not a dragster. Next it will be turbos and super chargers.  |

I have used 20% nitro and 15% nitro as a fuel additive. Yes, I love the smell of nitro from the exhaust. RC nitro is okay, but it's not as good as you would think. I would pour in about 1.5 oz into the gas tank when I fill up (tank capacity is 1.25 gallons on my moped). Nitro makes the bike run at hotter temperatures, probably because it leans out the fuel mix. One time, I filled up gas and dumped in 3 oz of 20% nitro. It was OK, but it was a bad idea. When I hit the ignition kill switch, the motor kept running on its own. I had to cover the carb inlet to kill the engine. Too much nitro is a Bad idea. My last jug of nitro fuel was 15% airplane nitro. I ran 1.5 oz with each full tank. Seems like it gives a little more pep but its nothing spectacular. I would just add nitro because I like the exhaust smell of it. Other than that, the only time i would add nitro is if I was going to go riding to hunt down Honda Elites and SYM dd50...so the could smell my exhaust as the got left behind.  |
