What type of fuels do you all run??

I saw a pottery kiln for sale the other day but it was serious coin.

Craig,

I know Gruber gets them done by his mate in your neck of the woods. You might like to talk to him about it.

I can get stuff done proffessionally, but I dont know the extact alloys, which the heat treatment companies need.

I am having a cobalt chrome H-50 made, but that is costing me about $80. That should be strong enough. I am also going to try Terry Keeley's method on my last remaining H-50. SO far H-50's are my pic for my boat, 10k quicker than anything else I tried. I guess i could get a pitched 48 and maybe a pitched H31 if we were going to get some done!

I hope you dont have the problems that I have! Ruining two props at one would really suck!!! :

Ian.

Ian,

Find out from the G man where he gets it done... I have a squillion props I need to have done... for my modest amount of boats... LOL

EMS Racing Nothing exceeds like excess!!!

Craig,

Oh yeah, I forgot about the props for the rest of Chenco's Navy!

Depends on the cost tho, you may only want to do the big rigger props. Even the A100 never bent anything on the mono!

Is that 'bird finished yet!

Hey guys,

Sorry to get the topic back where it started, but most of you seem to stay away from Blue Thunder? I am just curious why. That is what I run in my O.S. .32 and it seems to run strong and cool. I don't race or anything, but I am curious why you guys lean toward other fuels?

Thanks

I think that blue thunder does not have enough lubrication.

Our boats run WOT (Wide Open Throttle) almost all of the time they are run. This requires a good and plentyfull lubrication package to prevent premature engine wear and failure.

This in my opinion is why boaters should stay away from low-oil fuels ment to be used in RC car engines.

That's just my opinion...

Let's also keep in mind the rate of fuel usage of 10% Nitro versus 60% nitro. The higher nitro fuels require a richer needle setting which means that more fuel (That includes OIL ) is going through the engine.

Talking about oil content whithout also including nitro content is a mistake.
