Those polls sux! the other side of that complex has same roads without them...but there were goobs over there. I was scared towards the end of the run, it keeps accelerating and starts getting really squirly at those speeds ....I could have leaned it out and hour and prolly hit the mark, but it just has too much power and I was I would crash it...after that run we fattened it up a couple hrs, much safer to drive

you were flirting on decelleration with the bases. Thats what happened last time I ran into myself. My rc10gt pulls to the side on decelleration pretty drastically from high speeds. Time before that I uninstalled the entire left side on my mail box post . Now I don't have a LHS close enough to get nitro fuel from affordably so they just sit.

I run Torco 10% airplane fuel...in everything, even my GT with redhead OS...runs perfect!!...reasonably priced online by the gallon!

Yes. Thanx for the link. I used to run O'Donnel 20% in everything bitd until the LHS had a problem getting it. Went to traxxas top fuel but to give you an idea...last time I bought a gallon of O'Donnel I spent $30 taxed. After that I'd been buying quarts of top fuel for pry $20 a quart since I wasn't using near enough to validate the expense once I started brushless...

I haven't looked in a while. But my local Autozone did have a small Traxxas display, including fuel.

Close enough....? That truck is next level badass.

WE COULDN'T DRIVE, FIFTY FIVE! LOL

I think our local autozone had something to start but it lasted for like 2 days before it disappeared. Mostly since they were so damn expensive vs. the LHS 4 miles away. I'll have to recheck next time I'm in there and let them know the LHS is gone. Maybe when it gets going full tilt in the new town 20 miles away that it will get better. Right now the new shop is primarily Aarma and a few other things...
