The X shell is good

BUT

One from Sebs Web site, Ask him to custom you one up

[dazzi220]

I've been airbrushing a hulk myself actually on paper, not going to good tho lol

[nitromotorhead]

Practice makes perfect, (on paper) when you going to move up to spraying the inside of a 3ltr cola bottle?

[dazzi220]

lol I've been spraying off cuts and any clear plastic I can get my hands on its dam hard with a duel action brush trying to control the paint flow for finer work.

I use a brush at work everyday aswell! its still solid, not to mention the cost in thinners.

I'm gonna spray a savvy shell soon, nothing like sebs ofcourse but it should be better than normal.....hopefully

yeh i reckon its around 3 3/4 litres for £22

I was paying £16 for 2.5 litres of tornado

Same here but £17 for the Tornado, good choice Dazzi, my Revo is alot easier to tune, and don't get the cutting out at full tilt, seems to hold the engine temp in check when on WOT. I didn't know about the extra oil before but that does explain my easeir running I think

[dazzi220]

I don't have any tuning trouble anymore tbh but I've heard o'donnels makes it easier, used the stuff for a while on my menace to its good stuff jus the menace is crap

[Josh]

Go to Halfords lol i think its £14.25 for 2.5ltrs of 25% Tornado

[dazzi220]

tru u can save 75p at my halfords but they only do 20%

[yoclick]

I was paying £16 for 2.5 litres of tornado

Really?? My LHS does 5l of 25% tornado at £25. They do O'donnell 25% in 1US gallon (3.79l) for £22. So i just pick either one which they have in stock but i try to stick with tornado as much as poss (just because it comes in a larger quantity).

Tornado = £5 a litre

O'Donnel = £5.80 a litre

Say an engine lasts 5US gallons, its only £16 more for the O'Donnell fuel for the whole life of your engine.

£16 for the 2.5L, they don't sell the 5L

[yoclick]

Yeah I meant it costs you £32 for each 5l (2.5lx2) when my LHS does the 5l at £25. Ask your LHS if they can start stocking in the larger quantity in (might be £27 RRP for the torando 5l 25%, but i get discount so only £25 for me ). Would save you a bit in the long run and just stand on them if they say no.

well it don't matter dude I'm switching to o'donnels for all my cars now anyway

[arris]

lol, all this stuff bout fuel,

Well in my lil storage compartment

I have, a half a gall of o'donnals, (not much left)

A 2.5L thingy of tornado just bout full

And a gallon bottle of pro-synth of matt, (about 1/3rd left)

So i have loads of different ones, altho only been using the pro-synth

Does it matter if it cost a little more for fuel if you can get an extra gallon out of it before it toasts itself??

I have no idea of course how long a block will last, but my tiny Nitro Sport TRX .15 did over 8 gallons and was still good, depends how you drive I guess

[dazzi220]

oil content and tuning will determin the life of yer engine

..................................... AND how you drive

[dazzi220]

Had my cabage 4.6 running on the o'donnels today could'nt tell any difference between it and the tornado. So i'll stick to it

[madmanluke]

as said, wont notice a diff, but it will deffo run cleaner and maybe smother inthe long ru. proects it better as well. so if u forget to use after run oil, tis no biggy

Don't take this the wrong way m8, are you assuming or is there really that much extra synth oil in the fuel?? Good news all the way Cos I find putting in after run a pain in my furry a###

[dazzi220]

now now Tiggles

yeh I think there is extra oil, I noticed it with 16% tornado, the o'donnels dried alot more waxxy where as the tornado was more greasier

altho i'm sure tornado has more than enough oils, so both are good

[madmanluke]

there is more castor oil in o donnals than tornado. tornado is purely ment for racing, it has less oil, meaning more rpm and takes less time to get to that rpm.

o donnals is now become qucikly more popular over tornado due toit having more oil, even racerss are starting to switch to it

Well I prefered O'Donnels after I switched from Torny anyway, and now I feel so much better for doing so, thx madmanluke

This Tiggles ain't going back ........ wait a mo TIGGLES??? *sigh* I hate you Dazzi
