I have T-Rex 600 with OS 50 hyper.
Running 20% CoolPower.
About gallon trough the engine, runs nice smooth.
High speed needle at 1 1/8 turn, low speed needle on 1 o'clock.
Temps are good, back plate nice and warm, temp gun at 170-180F
Don't know if its cold weather or what, but I see more smoke them usual.
Is there any additive to lower smoke??
Any ideas?

If your using the Cool Power 20% Heli Blend. IT has 20% High Viscosity oil. So it should smoke considerably less than the Cool Power 30% Heli that has the 22% Low Viscosity oil.
The 30% LS Heli Fuel is Low Smoke, it is 20% High Viscosity oil.
You might try the CP 15% that has 17% HV oil. There will be less smoke and I seriously doubt you will see a noticeable power difference from the 20%.

I did ran 15% Cool Power before, that's why I'm noticing more smoke.
15% hard to come across sometimes, that's why I'm 20, and I don't want to jump back and forth.
Anything to make it smoke less???
