i know 20 minutes is pretty long, actually i just got mine a few days ago,upgraded edition and it really sweet,but mine came with 18 sh engine, and i`ve been breaking in, and now i`m in tuning state, i`m using 25% tornado fuel, and it only last about 10 minutes on a tank.was it the tuning makes it more fuel consumption.?

Oh gotcha and ya i have a ported and polished SH .18 motor and tube header and alum. exhaust, mine rips pretty good. As for the tuning being a gas guzzler ... If your truck is running too rich then yes. Also you need to make sure that your not leaning it out too much or it will destroy your motor ... also after the break in phase of a couple days they say you should change your glow plug cause it gets all gunked up with shit. Anyhow post a video and people will tell u if it sounds properly tuned

have you try 15%? can i get more mileage by using lower nitro percentage?

[RodBaines]

no i highly doubt it ... i might be wrong but the % of the fuel is the oil mixture ... like 15% is oil ... or 20% is oil .... im not 100% sure but thats what i think. And really 20 mins on a tank is pretty good ... its a fairly cheap hobby when it comes to fuel .... as for repairing broken shit it can be expensive.... haha anyhow later

[deanwiseen]

how long does it run for a tank? on what percentage of nitro?

[RodBaines]

i run 20% HPI racing fuel and a tank runs for about 20-30 minutes .... and i usually am a full throttle type of guy...

i`m in the process of making the vidoe i will post it when i`m done, this baby is really sweet dont`cha think...i love it..anyway do you remember how many turns you set your hi speed needle for tuning? just to get an idea..
