Petrol (2 Stroke) compared to RC Nitro cars and truck differences?
I am considering re-investing in a RC Truck, last time I had one was around 5 years ago and it was NITRO, this time I have seen one which runs on 2 stroke fuel?
1.) What is the differences in the' run-in' process?
2.). Is engine tuning still required or as it is a 2 stroke enginer does the fuel cosumption and settings run on the same auto setting? one for all conditions?
Thanks.

Truck I am considering getting is at —–
Go for petrol unless you want a right arm that looks like Popeye from trying to get nitro to start. I have several of both and petrol is so much easier to start, the run in (for mine anyway) has been run on "medium revs" for 2 full tanks of fuel. That's it. You can tune up petrol but tbh it's more about adding tuned pipes etc rather than messing with compression etc.
That said, sizewise you need to keep them somewhere and petrol are substantially larger than nitro.
