gas? It's called nitro fuel. And the type of fuel depends on the engine. Most people use 16% for smallblock engines (1/10th scale) and
20%/25% for bigblocks (1/8th scale)

1/8 is bigger which …
1/8 is bigger which are normally used in buggys, truggys and monsterstrucks which normally average about 30-50mph varying on the model u buy, 1/10 are smaller which are normally seen as a on road but 1/10 buggys and truggys are available the speeds vary from model you buy but they can do from 30 to 80mph depending on how deep pockets you have.

what are bigger 1/10th or 1/8th nitro cars and which go faster?
This is normally …
This is normally because of the trim set to high on the controller just adjust it and it will idle nicely , if its a high idle just find the low speed needle and turn it anticlockwise 1/16 of a turn intill u see the idle drop or a air leak which could be from mamy parts of the engine (Bearings, Carbs , LSN or HSN etc) the best way to check for them is to just go to ur model shop as they will be able to do it in minuites.

This could be one …
This could be one of many things , ur throttle trim maybe set to high just adjust it back down turning it anti clockwise or ur idle maybe to lean which could be caused by a hole in the fuel lines or the idle needle just needs to be adjusted anti clockwise in 1/16's intill the wheels stop spining , but if the car cant idle without the wheels spining this most likely means ur clutch springs or shoes have worn.
Hope This Helps
