i might try that, but ive heard that top fuel is hard to tune, i might also try byrons 25%

Michowski · (#29 (**permalink**))

it did nothing but wake up my 2.5r when i tried it. Keeping it intune wasnt a problem at all.

Traxxas_Junkee · (#30 (**permalink**))

mich have you tried Top Fuel 20%? Im not sure if I want to jump all the way up to 30% If I don't like it I wont be able to go back down.

Michowski · (#31 (**permalink**))

I wont run anything under 30% after trying 30%. 20% was ok but once i put any brand 30% in i got cooler temps, more power, overall a lot better engine. 20% is a waste of money IMO. 30% is were its at.

Traxxas_Junkee · (#32 (**permalink**))

ok, ill probally try that next time, i just got a gallon of 20 not too long ago though

Mr. Tune · (#33 (**permalink**))

Mike, they sell trinity platinum 30% at al's. That what's I run and that's where I buy it from

.

kevinF · (#34 (**permalink**))

whats a good plug to run with platinum 30% in the trx 2.5

Michowski · (#35 (**permalink**))

mccoy 59 or mccoy 9. Ive had luck with both of them and there both a hot and cold plug.

destroy_my_revo_15 · (#36 (**permalink**))

i havent had any luck with the mccoy 59 maybe it was just my tuning but the last one i had only lasted about a tank....

Tex · (#37 (**permalink**))

it was your tuning.... I run mc59s and they last gallons, occasionally I'll have a problem but thats with any plug when the tuning isn't perfect.

Traxxas_Junkee · (#38 (**permalink**))

yeah, mine usually last a long time in the 2.5 with the MC59. For a while they were going like crazy but my tune was a little to rich.

kevinF · (#39 (**permalink**))

yeah when I used top fuel 20% I used the traxxas plugs and they lasted me about 1 gallon.

BottledBeast · (#40 (**permalink**))

all i use are mccoy 59 or q-series..mccoy for cold weather and q-series when its hot out...and i switched to top fuel33% and ill never go back to 20%.like said before the 20% is a wast of money 30% is the way to go.
