Hey man what you need is 20% Nitro. Not 10%!! Thats for airplanes. Go to a hobby store. They'll tell you what you need. What kind of truck do you have??

But what about the 15%

I'm really not sure about 15% nitro. It will just run slower. The more nitro thats in the fuel the faster it runs. 20% is the standard for cars and trucks. You could probaby safely boost it to 25% or even 30% (for faster running). But with 15% your really depriving the truck from better performance. But it wont hurt the truck. Good luck!!

more nitro doesnt mean you run faster it mens you run cooler thats y they use 30% for racing cuz they are runin a long time and they need to keep your engin cool the nitro isn't nitrus oxide its like nitro methanol or somthing so for a truck i myself use 18% cuz i cant get a hold of 20 so id get as close to 20 as possible :D

Megaforce, as you can see you asking a question for which the answers will always be opinions.

Fuel is a personal choice, 20% is good for cars and trucks, 10-15% is fine also. Many diehard RC enthusiasts will mix their own concoctions and swear by them. I personally use Blue Thunder 20% race formula because my LHS always has it on the shelf for $28 a gallon. Once you break in a motor with a certain type, you should try to stick with that type for the life of the motor.

Hope this helps.
