Hello, I just got a hydro from horrizon hobbies, has the .15 motor. They say to run 20%. I use odonnals 20% in my cars, and trucks. would it be ok? I have 50% I run in my k&b 3.5, could I use the 50%?
Thanks all

To break in the engine the 20% will be fine. After the break in is done (3 or 4 tanks will be enough) you can run the 50% without a problem. Just remember that when you change nitro % you will need to retune the carb. I use 40% in my boat and it gives me good performance. Hope this helps
