[BIG BEAM]

This may have been asked before but has anyone.Or mixed R/C fuel with regular gas and oil?

I hate idle time when drinking

Now you have me thinking..nitro in a 2 stroke..I will have to mix up a batch and give it to my neighbor to run in his wild thang. He will probably thank me for the first 10 minutes..curse me when he has to buy another..btw..if you think ethenol attracts moisture try to leave open nitro..maybe with a 1:100 mix or something might not be too detrimental but I spent too much on my stihl saws to jump at this one

Yea, They just now adjusted to hearing chainsaws at 1am. :greenchainsaw: How fast does that thing go?

I was thinking on the same terms, except when duck hunting.:monkey:

I know the law says you cant shoot em in the water, but i havent seen anything about scaring them with an RC baot!!!!

if your talking about what I think you are thats methanol with 10-15 percent nitromethane. if thats the case your carb would have to meter about 2/5 -3 times as much, not sure but guessing theres not that much adjustment there. methanol will mix with gasoline sorta but nitromethane won't.

I am an RC boat racer. There has been discussion on one of the boards about running nitro fuels in the 26cc Zenoahs. I haven't followed it too closely, but there are guys that are doing in and not burning the motors up. I don't think it has went over real well though. Just FWIW, the motors are just over 2hp stock, and after a pipe and porting are making nearly 6hp :jawdrop:. A lot of the gas guys don't even run gas any more. Many have switched over to Coleman fuel to avoid the ethanol issue altogether. Extensive dyno testing has shown more power than 87 octane and more than race gas or avgas.

I have a Sachs Dolmar 116si that runs on 20% nitro hobby fuel.................... Shes FAST! Fanless flywheel, raised compression, Bumped timing, Bigger carb, drilled air box. Let her rip past 20,000 rpm when my tach quit registering!

You need to basically double the size of the CARB to make it run proper. Careful with letting the fuel sit in the saw I always dumped it back into the hobby container air dried the saw tank then dumped 50-1 in the saw and ran it till it flooded out for storage.

The last gallon of nitro i bought was $31.00. I would find it hard to experiment with that and take a chance of burning a saw also.

 

[BIG BEAM]

Yeah but @ 20K RPM's you could make a roster tail with wood chips!

20,000 rpms?



are you sure??

I believe it. We had 2 Mac 101's that ran nitro and duel carbs, port work, shaved heads and flywheels, they turned over 20k rpms.

 

[husky455rancher]

when i was buyiong it maybe 10 years ago it was 8 dollars a quart. i have no idea what it is now adays.

UHMMMMMMM Let me think a minute.......................




YES over 20,000 RPM's Why won't your 056 handle that?

[056kid]

Hell i dunno, but you dont have to shout.

20,000 is just alittle hard for my novice saw tuning brain to swallow.

I could see with a beefy all race, circle crank, everything balanced to the 1000th of a gram type motor.

I dunno, just sounds like horse ####... if not thats way cool!!
