smallman28 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Just wondered if anyone uses tornado ? Just bought a Havoc and not sure whats best to run the .28 on... any suggestions? Evo Most people would give a thumbs up to Tornado fuel,never used it myself mainly cause no-one local to me sells it and I am a bit loathed to pay £6 delivery for 2.5 litres of fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sin Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I would say that 25% fuel would be good for that engine, i don't think theres any need to go as far up as 30% imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koroshko Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 i use tornado in my trx 2.5 but it makes it over heat, that a common problem when running a trx on tornado, i dont see why it shouldnt be fine for your havoc though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy122 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) I would say that 25% fuel would be good for that engine, i don't think theres any need to go as far up as 30% imo I'd'v of gone for 25% Slightly longer engine life Cheaper then 30% And still makes the car go what else u want?

Havoc87 Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 Ahh the speed! Thnx guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallman28 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Ahh the speed! Thnx guys Yes,but also extra heat,make sure your needles are set correctly to avoid over heating. Just a word of warning,I got a Schumacher Rascal the other week and the carb settings were quite a way out to where they were supposed to be from the factory. I know its a totally different engine but just bear it in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea118 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 tornado is fine in most engines and is a great blend! its just that ODs is more suited for small block engines seing as its got more synthetic oil (i think ) and helps the engines run cooler - cos they rev alot higher. tornado is fine however in big block, meaty and especially .28 engines cos they rev lower and are generally more cooler than a small block anyway. tornado's will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy122 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 it also depends how the engine is going to be used As for in helicopters - they are at high rev's for a long time they use very oily fuel to help keep the lubrication side up Pro-Racers would probably use a short mix of nitro and oil so they can have speed There engine hardly last a few months as well Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cew27 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 well i am a newbie and i can tell u tornado makes me car run alot faster than rubbish model technics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy122 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Modeltecniks as i stated in the post above its for Helicopters and planes Since they run at a high Speed all the time I ran a brand of MT (shorthand) at 20% Tbh it was no better in the t-15 then the 16% tornado produced Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
