nitro bike
has any one tried running nitro in a 2 stroke bike? im talking about the fuel that you run in a r/c model air plain or like in the r/c 4x4 trucks. its a 2 stroke fuel premixed to 15% or 20% nitro. in the model plains and trucks the use glow plugs. possibly to just simplify things so they dont have to use a magnito or any kind of ignition system. do you think we could run nitro in our chinese 2 stroke motors?

Re: nitro bike
Yes, but you would have to correct keep an eye on plug condition big time.....I have a can of Nitro Propane that I`ve been itching to try out......But you can`t keep the fuel in the tank or carbs because it`s to rough on the lines,ect.ect....

Re: nitro bike
I've been toying with the idea of running on nitromethanol but the darn cost of the fuel is not worth it.

Re: nitro bike
Running hobby fuel, (even 35% Nitro), in one of these engines will not do anything.

Re: nitro bike
you dont think that hobby fuel, 35% nitro, will incrase power. i know those little model air plains and 4x4 trucks have a lot of power for thier size .15cc(trucks)

I say it will, BUT there is other stuff you need to do also......
Do`t know why (creative engineering) said it won`t make any power.....Can`t say HOW LONG it will make more power.....All depends on your set up when using it....
