TMAXX or Revo

Got it yesterday, now that was quick shipping. Wife found out how much I paid for it so now I have to tile the dinning room floor as penance.
Took it out just to make sure it all looked ok, wow what a beast. It is now going to be put away untill Xmas day when I can open it and look suprised. I kept the manual and cd out so I will have the running in procedure down to a tee by the time I get to play with it.
Ordered a couple of Traxxas glow plugs as it says in the run in you can go through a couple. Looking foward to it as my first two cars were bought second hand so never got to run them in. I use 10% fuel in the other two but havent decided yet whether to get the good stuff from Halfords (16%) for this.
What do you lot think is the best fuel to look after the motor? I was always told that the lower the % the longer the motor will last?

I myself would not run it on anything lower than 16%
Revo has been designed and tested to run on nitro up to 30%
Now if you do run 30% you have to replace the shim under the cooling head.;)
Personally I would say if it is the 3.3 then try the 16% MT first. i found my one drove fine on it with plenty of power.
I am gonna try some Morgans fuel next.. Starting with 15% an work up to compare notes.
If she blows then be it..
It will be time for a Big Block then.. Maybe a Picco .26 or something.. 0 -

Make me an offer!
Isnt that the one you never got round to "Starting" ?
Hard to make an offer without knowing if it runs or not.
Is it a TM or TZ ?

On the other hand.
