Re: Where to get nitro fuel other then lhs

Well... Got the car today. Of course it wasn't as good as described. Managed to fix most of the issues and just finally got the carb cleaned up.
It didn't come with a radio battery and being an electric rc guy, I only have lipo batteries, and nothing 6v.
Hoping to check all the screws and make sure everything is in order tonight. Will try to get the one motor running tomorrow (damn noisy thing, can't run it at night).
Should have a radio battery Monday night when the wife returns from work.
I hope my 2 stroke background pays off and will get this running and tuned.

So being a new guy to nitro, what percentage should I be running in a ofna lx pro? Don't remember the motor size or brand.

The Sudbury shop is out of there minds! Plus I wouldn't chance that fuel ... 10 bux to a doughnut the fuel is older then my first born and he's heading to College soon! Closes place is Barrie then you'll have to travel further south! What kind of fuel you looking for? If it's heli 30% then you might be in luck. Ideal has 11 gallons left over from last fall for $26.99 a gallon if you buy the whole lot

I'll have to remember that shop the next time I go That way.
Any other types of stores that would carry it?
Going to Sudbury tomorrow and the lone shop there is going to want my first born (until they meet him).

Where to get nitro fuel other then lhs

I have my first nitro arriving tomorrow in the mail. Because of Canada Post regulations, the seller couldn't ship the fuel. We only have one (somewhat) local hobby shop, and as a result, everything is brutally expensive.
Is there any other location I could look for fuel, either big box store or store type?
