LukeAFC Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Hi all, Does anyone have any experience of Model Technics "Big Bang" 25% nitro fuel? My local shop sells it so it's convenient for me but is it any good? My preference would have been Byrons but I cannot get it locally, I know you can get it online but it's hassle!!

missions1 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 id rather go thru the hasstle of getting byrons than use model technics fuel my lhs sell it and even they say its rubbish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeAFC Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 I'm not questioning anyone's opinion but what makes it rubbish? Infact what makes a good nitro fuel? I'm fairly new to this so like I say I'm not questioning anyone's opinion, just trying to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missions1 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 some fuels tend to give off a lot of smoke all the time making you think its running rich so you keep leening it out when it fact it could be running on its limits an you dont kno also struggle to hold a decent tune with model technics byrons on the other hand it does exactly what it says on bottle lol good smoke trail for the point its tuned to holds a good tune easier to start easier to tune and smells awesome lol just my thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingscott Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Model technics fuel is a big no no for me, horrible smelly stuff. I use byron! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Drifta Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 MT is nasty imop/Experience so far... Im Only running a baby 16 lump, and was running mt's 16fuel., it made it a pig to start, tune, it stinks and fogs, consumption sucked, Nightmare.....my mate then lent me some 16% HPI (pink colour) and its a different beast MT seems more oily to me..Maybe thats why? Dunno but i binned the MT fuel and wont be buying it again. Im in the same boat as the op, im struggling to find another brand of fuel locally except HPI....

LukeAFC Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 What about Optifuel, does anyone have any experience of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grck1 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I use opti, good fuel, is bit smokey but not as bad as mt, so don't tune by smoke trail.doesn't taste funny like mt and is synthetic oil I think as opposed to caster oil in mt. My mate started with mt, had shorter run times than me, plus was smokier and more messy. Switched to opti and run times increased and so did power on the same tune. Hpi power fuel is same as opti fuel, just different label I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeAFC Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 I think I'll try Optifuel in that case then as it's easier to get hold of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
