RE: Substitute nitromethane
ok! What do you guys think about this: Ethanol - 70% Benzene - 5% Acetone - 5% Synthetic Oil for 2-stroke engines - 10% Ricin Oil - 10% Would this mix work on my TRX2.5R without damage it?

Substitute nitromethane
Hi! I'm thinking to make my own fuel for my old TRX2.5R... say something like 20% nitro and 12-16% oil... I was looking where to buy the ingredients but i can't find the nitromethane... There's another substitute to the nitromethane? What should be the right amounts for doing something equivalent to fuel with 20% nitro and 12-16% oil? Till now this are the ingredients that i am thinking and that i can find: Methanol Ethanol Benzene Acetone Ricin(o) Oil Synthetic oil (for 2-stroke engines) _ it lacks an additive to me to substitute the nitromethane... What should i use? Which is the best mixture? Thanks for all help!!!

RE: Any suggestion?
[&:] Well... we have good fuel readily available here in Portugal... but the price it's a big problem for me [:(] (8-9 Euros/liter) that's why i'm thinking on making my own fuel... the only problem is i can't get the nitromethane [:@]

I could buy from another online store the OS .18TM as TOWERHOBBIES... but only my online store can make the shipping without give me problems with customs fees on my country...

RE: OS vs TRX
I know there's alot of threads around here talking about this, but... Anyone else? Like i said, my 2.5R sleeve were damaged ... but the remaining parts of the engine are as new... I'll keep them for spares... But... In what engines (3.3 or .18TM) should i be hable to use those good parts of the old engine 2.5R? Can i use the 2.5R header on a .18TM? How many parts and what parts of the 2.5R engine can i use on the .18TM or TRX 3.3?

RE: OS vs TRX
This is my story: I was thinking not to run for a while my REVO 2.5R , so, i used a little more WD40 than usual to prevent any rust… it passed one month and when i take it to run… i’ve noticed the WD40 were out from the front bearing… since that day it begin to be harder than it was to start… i’ve replaced the front bearing and then it starts to run… 3 minutes later it stalls… with so many times i've used the ez-start is motor died… i replaced the ez-start motor for a new one and the engine still not run longer than 3 minutes… it seems that my piston and sleeve were out… i’ve tried to squeeze my sleeve… Wrong!!! I’ve damaged it forever… I dont understand how it really died so soon… my temps never passed 110º C… guess it was me and my beginner knowledge… Now, because of the price of the new piston/sleeve kit i’m thinking on buy a new engine… There’s no need to be faster… I only want one that lasts more time than 2.5R and that is more easy to tune.
