Title: Rapicon Fuel coming to India
Post by: mail4ajo on November 02, 2011, 01:46:58 PM
Korean RC Fuel, Rapicon coming to India via Jacks Hobbies, Hyderabad. Very competitive pricing. Used world wide by top racers and flyers.

During the 2010 World nitro buggy race at Pattaya, I saw many racers using rapicon.

What is the pricing like ?  And shipping charges, if anyone knows.

Rapicon has a good name.

Not sure about Air fuel. Car 25% is Rs 575 for a quart which about 950 ml. So more expensive compared to Tornado. No idea on shipping and cost. We will get a sample this week. Will post comments.

I don't like the fuel .. car fuel 25%..  can't say about plane fuel .. for me its not really worth the money .. 575 rs + 150 shipping is 725  for 1 litre (selling only in litre bottles makes no sense to us racers .. for bashers or newbs it ok ).. tornado costs 500 for same ... if it was something really outstanding it may have been worth ...
Performance wise its not very difrnt from tornado . It does make the engine run cleaner but I have afterrun oil .      :)
I only had a litre to test so I can't say about long term results ..
The two things i liked is 1)it doesn't irritate the eyes and nose
2) purple color

Rapicon 25% has 11% lube in d usa .. I don't know why india one has 9% lube in 25% nitro fuel .. I'm saying for car fuel only ...

There are multiple varieties of fuel depending on use. For best performance, 9% lube makes sense. I am not Adam Drake to be able to afford a Novarossi every few races. We need atleast 10-11% lube for our conditions.

Earlier Tornado had one variety of 25% nitro with low lube. I checked with the maker and advised Modelart to skip that version. Modelart didnt even know it was an onroad fuel.

Yes 9 % lube is d best on 30% nitro and above .. on 25% I've seen it first time .. tornado I think has stopped the wrong fuel . The one with less lube was 25comp (9%)and the 25nm(10.3%) was the one with more lube .. but now there is only competiton25 available atleast in blore and no 25nm .
