i might try that, but ive heard that top fuel is hard to tune, i might also try byrons 25%
it did nothing but wake up my 2.5r when i tried it. Keeping it intune wasnt a problem at all.
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.
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.
ok, ill probally try that next time, i just got a gallon of 20 not too long ago though
Mike, they sell trinity platinum 30% at al's. That what's I run and that's where I buy it from
.
whats a good plug to run with platinum 30% in the trx 2.5
mccoy 59 or mccoy 9. Ive had luck with both of them and there both a hot and cold plug.
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....
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.
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.
yeah when I used top fuel 20% I used the traxxas plugs and they lasted me about 1 gallon.
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.
Putting my vote for Tinity Platinum 30% in. I ran McCoy 59's in my Traxxas motor and have run about 4 different plugs in my .21 VZ-B now. I get a different answer from everyone so I have no idea what plug to run. :-(
A VZB takes a short plug (FOR SURE, I had one)
You need a OS plug like an A5 or A3 or better yet the R5
That link says nothing about the normal VZB, only the v-spec (which is a turbo VZB)....Thanks for trying Dave.
I know....I was just giving Dan another resource to read up on!
All this nitro stuff is soooo confuzzling. I'm switching over to electric. Is there an electric UMT out there?

Yes! a gorillamaxx emaxx or a bomb proof chassis emaxx. Both are pan chassis for emaxxs
Someone bought an LSP from Al's and turned/is turning it into a brushless wonder truck!!
And thanks Gabe.
