Hello

I haven't had a build rc car kit in many years having made a grasshopper when I was a kid.i am thinking of getting another maybe an rc hornet,has anyone had one and if so would you recommend a brushless motor thanks
 
Last time I saw anyone playing with remote control cars they had internal combustion engines running on some sort of nitrous/alcohol mix. I was running a still back then and I used to supply my next door neighbour with pure ethanol to run his car on.

It's actually impossible to achieve 100%. Even if you set up a special experimental laboratory for it you still can't achieve it in any practical sense because it absorbs water from the air.

I was running a reflux still and what you get out of that if you're careful and pay attention is 96% ethanol, and I was double distilling mine so that the other 4% was just water and not horrible tasting gunk. Double distilling is far more efficient than filtering.

The neighbour was buying the nitrous component of the fuel from a local hobby store and mixing it with my alcohol.
