O'Donnell Racing 20% and O'Donnell RTR 20%

[Shanty]

Hey,

I have been using O'Donnell Fuel and have had great success with it. But I was wondering, what is the difference between the Racing 20% to RTR 20%? Is it more or less oil.

 

[Jeremy]

Yea the RTR has more oil .. Not sure how much (right off hand)

I think the RTR is 12% oil.

Wuz surfinn through and found this...is the RTR ok to run in the savs....i know I read somewhere that it was good to stay about 11 percent oil...just curious... thanks.

I'm using morgans sidewinder backyard basher fuel which has 16% oil and have had no problems with it

Thanks Nitro...anyone else runninn the OD RTR 20 percent??? Any problems..
This is what I"m running and so far no problems that I can tell....I do know that my rotostart keeps getting stuck when trying to start my truck all of the sudden..didn't do this until I installed the HPI wheelie bar and started to use the OD RTR 20...

I use Sidewinder 30% Race blend, but I occasionally use O'Donnel. I like it as much as my Sidewinder, they are both great fuels.
The reason your roto-starter may be getting stuck is because your battery is low and it doesnt have enough juice to pop the piston down at TDC, or you are over priming your motor and causing it to hydro-lock. An easy way to fix that is to take your glo-plug out and crank the motor over to get rid of the excess fuel.
I don't think the wheelie bar has anything to do with it though, unless they are attaching them to the motors now, lol.

Thanks SD...i was thinking the same thing yesterday so I called it a day...I was trying to get a head start on my upcoming troubleshooting..LOL

I ordered a bigger battery pack for the Rotostart last night..so hopefully that will help in the future.

To add to that:
Too much oil can cause the OWB to slip.

WHiP ...How would one know the one way is slipping? Whats the symptom?

It will pretty much spin freely.
