hmmm wierd,i dont know why but it just performed so much better,i suspected as much about the quarter throttle burnout but didnt know it wasnt having any effect at all,so what is actually happening when its poured into the air intake? basically adding an extra burning gas into the chamber?

So I'm just going to put this out there...regardless of your supposed NOS in the fuel tank....the reason why your mangmobile is getting wheelspin at quarter throttle is because it's a paddock basher and it's on grass

nitromethane referred to as nitro in model airplane fuel sounds more like what his mate got his hands on.
probably not advisable to run unless he wants his engine to blow up, it also deteriorates some rubber and plastic compounds.

As an engine fuel

Nitromethane is used as a fuel in motor racing, particularly drag racing, as well as for rockets and Radio Control models (such as cars, planes and helicopters) and is commonly referred to in this context as "nitro". The oxygen content of nitromethane enables it to burn with much less atmospheric oxygen.

4CH3NO2 + 3O2 → 4CO2 + 6H2O + 2N2
