stick your finger in the fuel for about 5 seconds and pull it out,

your finger goes all cold and numb :lol:

Im running 60 percent nitro in my competion spec planes, which is 3x standard so if i did that i would not want to be near a naked flame for ages but i know that it reacts like liquid nitrogen and can break metal with it

Sounds quality mate. My mates ave gt some electric ones so they can race in doors and the money they put into them is mad.

Cambridge, Nova_Chris, Rick and myself all have Nitro cars. Cambridge and Chris have 1/10th on road (although Chris' is an impreza, so may be ok on some off road surfaces) mines a 1/8th off road buggy. Rick has thousands of them as he races them, lol.

There great fun, can't wait for the really warm weather to come along as theres a BMX track near to me that has some excellent jumps :)
