Razor...got an off-the-wall ?....alky kit and GLOW fuel?

Ok this question is directed mainly to Razor but others feel free to chime in. While playing with one of my other toys (1/8 scale glow powered RC buggy) i just happen to think...what if you ran glow fuel in an alky kit? The only in it is methyl alcohol/nitromethane/oil. Would it hurt anything? Would the nitromethane actually make a diffrence? Just one of those things that pops in my head at strange times.

I got a plane and thought of that too. LOL.

Problem is the oil.

Get rid of the oil.. it may work..

You first :wink:

LOL, not sure if im ready to be a test subject yet. Was just a thought.

they make it with like 16 or 17% oil and 25% nitromethane. the oil is 80% synthetic and 20% castor. I do not know if that is too much. Is the ol a problem for gumming, or hard on the pump?

My guess the oil in the combustion chambers would promote detonation.

Im pretty sure we used to get a special nitro mix... 100% that we used to dillute with "older" fuels for some of our RC planes n cars n such... I didnt think there was any oil in that at all... It was NOT cheap though.

I will be the first to say I know nothing about it but when I was young I raced a motorcycle, Flattrack and TT, We used castor oil in the gas, Made it smell good mixed with the dirt
