what fuel

what fuel do you reccomend for a .21 engine at about 6000 feet above sea level with an engine that is broken in?

Re: what fuel

I would suggest O'Donnell Racing Fuel. Which should run great at any sea level. The sea level would effect your tuning more then anything.

Lots of hobby shops carry blue thunder. I have always run it and been really pleased. Do you want to know if you need to run a higher percent because you have less oxygen? I would think you want a little more nitro content to make up for the lack of oxygen in the air at the elevation but I really dunno. Maybe someone else knows better.

Whatever RC Car fuel is available at your Local Hobby Shop (LHS)
The fuel is a matter of preference and you will hear opinions on all of them from A-Z. Us an easy to find brand in your aria.

Someday I'd like to order another brand of fuel to try, if for no other reason then to get a different color =)

But I use Blue Thunder and it seems to work just fine. All the LHS's around here carry it and nobody seems to complain.

I run 20%.
