Does anyone know of any recalls,or anyone that has experieced a fire with their nitro R/C car or truck, what caused it to burn?
Fires with Nitro vehicles are not uncommon. However they are usually the result of improper use or carelessness. Sad to say but true.
If not all safety precautions are observed, then a fire could indeed happen. Nitro fuel is extremely flammable, and should always be handled with exteme caution. Even a minor spill when filling up the tank, and then a spark from anything, could be disastrous.
There are warnings on the fuel jugs. There are warnings in owners manuals for the cars. It is all over the internet. You must be careful with nitro fuel or you will get burned(pardon the pun).
If and when a fire does occur, it cannot be blamed on the car, or the manufacturer. It is always the result of the user. (again, sad but true) Period!
All accidents are preventable. ALL.

WEEDEATER FEATHERLITE 25CC RC ENGINE RUNNING (NEW DESIGN)
Traxxaa Revo 3.3 RC (Radio controlled) Nitro fuel powered radio controlled car?
I recently bought a Traxxas Revo 3.3 RC (Radio controlled) Nitro fuel powered radio control car. The owner’s manual states that I can run this car on 10%, 20% or 33% nitro content fuel. However, after choosing one of these fuels for the 'run in' periods, the manufacturer recommends that I stick with that fuel foe the life time of the car. Does anybody know why I should stay with the same nitro content fuel for the entire lifetime, when the car is designed for all three %'s.? What damage could be done to the engine if I were to change?
Concievably in the long run switching fuels could damage your truck but in my experience I've never had a problem switchign fuels.
Once you've broken your engine in at a certain percent it has been tuned and "run in" for being used to that fuel. Now traxxas, would like you to keep it at that percent on the basis that once it has been broken in the engine almost has a memory to run at a certain temp and combined mixture. While this is true, if you change fuel %'s and set the carb leaner or richer to the new fuel there should be no real damage.
I have used different percents of fuel in most of my trucks, 20% for break in and bashing, and then when competing in races, run in the engine and tune the carb to run 30%.
While I truly believe it is safe to switch percents, you should be experienced with nitro engines and know exactly what you'r doing with the carb when changing. It may be safe to switch percentages of fuel but I would never on the other hand change brands of fuel. Every car/truck I have started with traxxas fuel, I've only used Traxxas top fuel since then.
*Traxxas states that as a precautionary measure to ensure no matter what you have a longer engine life. They want all users new and old to the hobby to be assured it will run better longer
