I've new to the Nitro truck scene and after some research have bought a
Traxx 25R. The previous owner told me that he ran it on 20% Byron. None
of my local model shops stock this brand. Am I better buying this off
the internet, or moving to the local available 20% brands? I assume
that there will be an amount of retuning to do; again something that
will be new to me. Any assistance would be welcomed. jabs

I'd recognise that email address anywhere ;-) What a small world.

Firstly, welcome to the group Steve. Secondly, have you had my ex-Revo
running yet tee hee :-)? Sorry I couldn't give you any advice in person, I
was just a wee bit under the weather is all. There are others on this group
who know loads more about batteries than me so I'll let them answer those
questions.

Like I mentioned on the phone, consider turning the high end fuel adjustment
needle out a bit, like a 1/4 turn, as it was much, much warmer last time she
was run.

What I did there was, read your post in the UK group (it's dead in there, I
wouldn't bother with it if I were you) and then reply without reading the
post in here. Oops. Anyway, any 20% will do you fine, you're quite close
to http://www.modelsport.co.uk/ I beleive, and they stock O'Donnell and
Tornado, both of which would be OK. As far as the retuning goes, like I
said in my reply that made little sense, I'd go for turning the high end out
a little bit, and then going from there. The Traxxas manual is very good in
this respect.

Any good brand 20% we'll be just fine.
