Reading alot of problems with the fuel. People on Rctech say its burning up motors. My motor is shot and i have 3/4 of a tank threw it now. I figured even though it was green when i bought it that it would still be good as it was never opened but perhaps the chemicals have broken down. anyone know blue thunders web site i want to send them some questions.

Hi Gerry,


Blue Thunder is made by Dynamite RC.  Here is the website:  http://www.dynamiterc.com/
Here is the contact page: http://www.dynamiterc.com/About/Contact.aspx

I use Blue Thunder (purchased from the Shaver Shop last summer) and it is still blue.  Where did you get the stuff that is green?

guys tell me what you think found this for a 168.oo not including shipping 1.54 torque and 41.500 rpm. Just dont know if i can get away with buying it so close to the wedding. Thats why a brand new motor was to last me longer than 3/4 of a gallon of fuel. :'(

Gerry last week when I was at Air Ink hobby (mat's shop) he has a brand new motor like the one John has I think. 
He was asking $75.00 for it.

dynamite RC is NOT known for super high-end RC parts or batteries etc ... so I dont see why their fuel would be high grade either.

Blue Thunder is also known as Smurf piss (quote from RC Tech forums)

Sounds like they screwed up, and you have a gallon of Cool Power. That stuff is green.   18% oil, 15-25% nitro.     With all the smoke, you probly leaned the engine right out without knowing.


Oh, on  the same subject, Shaver is out of blue thunder, fresh shipment coming on thursday/friday.


Shawn,

Looks like a Nova Rossi engine of some sort.  Is there a model number?

If it's truly a modern-day Nova Rossi based engine, then I'm sure it's good enough to win races at our track.  $168 sounds like a great price too.  Is it brand new?

Turbo plugs or old-school plugs?

Do you have a backup motor to get you by for the weekend?
