Talking Radio Controlled Car GAS 20% nitro

Today i walked into a hobby shop and looked around and saw fuel for the RC cars and planes and found it labeled with a ratio of "20 % nitro"

I thought that i could maybe put it into my 89 t2 and see how it goes with it.

I wonder if anybody has done it before?

yeah... uhmm.. well, it was designed to run in glow plug engines... so it prolly detonates fairly easily....

...not a good thing to do on a TII...

Tell you what, we trade, you get my GX, I get your TII.. then you experiment on the GX... that way you can blow up a cheap N/A motor..... think of it, I'd be saving you money!
