Default Nitro question?

Just wondering what you guys think about me running a small amount of 20% Nitro through my car? It would only be about a quart or so, didn't know if it would screw up my seals or anything? Had some Nitro let over from an R/C car that I just sold and wanted to use it up.

Don't do it. Is the nitro you have for your R/C car pure? Or is it already mixed? Where did you get it? What brand is it? Nitro does not play well when mixed with gasoline, hell it doesn't play well period. Also, you cannot accurately mix nitro by volume, it goes by specific gravity. IMHO, nitro does not belong anywhere near ANYTHING that runs on the street.

Uhm definatly no. That nitro from the RC car is only about 20% nitro and the rest is castor oil. Definatly stay away from it.
