How long do nitro models run on one tank of fuel?
When it comes to run time, the answer is it varies. Many different variables can effect run time such as fuel mixture setting (rich/lean), size, weight and driving style. However, as a rule of thumb, you can expect to get about 10-15 minutes of run time from one tank of fuel. As a bonus, nitro models can be quickly refueled without shutting off the engine, making long endurance racing possible.

Higher “nitro” content generally equates to better performance. Engines are designed to run best within a range of nitro percentages. How the engine is ported, the size of the combustion chamber and other factors determine how much nitro can be efficiently used in the engine. We recommend that you use 20% with all of our nitro models. [Back To Top] • Help, my nitro vehicle won’t start, what might be the problem? First check to
