atom3624 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) By what you say I would guess on up to one litre per week. Al. Edited October 12, 2014 by atom3624 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavin28 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 How long is a piece of string? Dont know what cars you have but a typical 1/8th tank is 150ml, lasts for about 8 mins or so, but depends on many factors including tune, how much you mash the throttle, gearing, terrain etc so for every litre you may get around 1 hours running time, give or take.

atom3624 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 String also includes an unfortunate accident - out of action for a couple of weeks waiting for parts .... agreed with Gavin. Trying to run RC on a strict budget is near-impossible! Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro-Guy69 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 i think most the time nitro is going to be more expensive, its just the way it is theres more to buy for it more often generally, things like fuel glow plugs etc, not always the case of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to run RC on a strict budget is near-impossible! Al. agreed, trying to get by with little or no funds just wont cut it especially nitro, but ofcourse you dont have to break the bank either from what i've seen most new guys go lil mad buying more than 1 car of any ol type they can get cheap, then find they are out of funds for all the essials/upgrades & parts, i was even a little like this at first, but then took the time to slow down & learn Edited October 13, 2014 by Nitro-Guy69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.K Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Don't worry about it, life's too short to try and work out the MPG of your RC's Use them whenever you want, enjoy them.....then when you need fuel buy another bottle 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
