Trinity Monster Horsepower - pwnzor - 01-01-2007
After reading the discussions in regards to fuel, it makes me wonder how well the fuel i use is? 25% it seems to be working fine, its the "Monster Horsepower" fuel, not the platinum blend, how is Nitrotane from Losi? i can get that locally as well. Is it ok to run a different fuel after a few gallons of another brand? I plan to get a NRrex soon for my buggy, and i dont want to use Trinity, i want to try something different......Thx for the help / advice

Don't know anything about the losi nitrotane, but you can switch fuels. You will just have to retune.

well from experience, trinity blows. the Losi stuff is supposed to be right up there with the werks and byrons.

We might as well start up a fuel thread with a poll LOL.

does fuel quality have anything to do with helping to maintain a consistent tune? It seems like my engine does'nt hold tune for !@#$ regardless of the weather...........But it is a cheap engine........force.26.....i have it leaned pretty hard now, Gonna see how far it goes ( im on my 3rd gallon ).....lol.........yeah, i think my next purchase will be Losi Nitrotane.

there already is a poll but its old.
ya it can have an effect but so does a loose rod or loss of compression

I use byrons 20% race formula not rtr and it works great. I have used the traxxas stuff and blue thunder and this os. is holding great with the byrons

I've been using trinity MHP 20% for 6 years. I've run it in the following engines and it ran well:
OS 15 CV-R(X)
OS 18 CV-R(X)
OS 21 RG-P
Omega 21 Comp
Axial 28
SH 28
HPI Nitrostar 15
Orion Wasp 18
Dynamite Mach 15
TRX 2.5
TRX 2.5R
I tried blue thunder in the OS 21 RG and OS 15 CV-R, but it ran hot.
I tried Eliminator 20% w/14% oil in my OS 15 CV-R and it worked fine, but it didn't work well in my 21 RG.
I tried byrons in the 18 CV-R, OS 21RG and Omega 21, it ran ok in all of them, but ran hotter than the trinity MHP.
Other than that, I've run the trinity MHP 20% nitro/12% oil always.

i think it was RobH that ran some werks after trinity said his temps dropped like 50* or something like that and after retuning it had more power

wow.......ok...thx for the info guys....but Mike, the engine has plenty of compression.........is compression / pinch the same thing?
Trinity Monster Horsepower - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-01-2007
ya up to a point. motors that are out now a days, liek the vspec have more "real" compression basically the seal b/w the piston and sleeve and run better when the mechanical pinch goes away

I've run Blue Thuder, Trinity and Byrons. Trinity and Byrons were great. The Trinity platinum sucked, but the 20% MHP was great. Now I'm running 30% Byrons and I don't plan on switching any time soon.
