you can definitely run the buggy with it but it will have lots of nagging problems like unstable tuning, difficult start, lower speeds etc....so my suggestion is invest in nitro....

Don't wake a Tiger until you've factored the teeth



On a less serious note, I wonder what will happen if you put, say, 5~10% Ether in Methanol/Castor?

I have run Nitro plane engines, as have many other people, for years without any problem. In 1990, I just told a supplier of Industrial & Lab Chemicals in Faridabad I wanted Nitromethane, and he got me....that time, Rs. 1000 per litre (G.R.)

buy the fuel. especially for cars, you need nitro and stable tune. cars engines hit 30-40k rpms, getting a tune with homebrew fuel with/without nitro is very hard. plane engines you can

What engine are you using? If its a cheap one and you are just bashing around, go ahead with the brew. Else get imported. Not worth the effort.

In my initial flying days I did not have access to readymade fuel or nitro so I used methanol and castor oil only. the plane did run but the engine is unpredictable.It will not be tuned all the time. It cut off suddenly making it risky so finally I shifted to using nitro. It can be obtained from lab chem suppliers which supply school colleges etc. Also if you are using only castor oil as lubricant be very sure to clean up the engine thoroughly before storing it for longer periods as otherwise you will have a locked engine as the residue turns in to some solid gooey stuff which is difficult to clean. Now I mix my fuel using Klotz oil for lubrication..

I think that question does not have a definitive answer. Too many variables. Fuel consumption will depend on the way you run the engine. If its any help the 4.6cc engine on my Savage lasts 10 min of bashing on a 160cc tank. (20% nm)
