Used to be able to get nitro from racing shops. It was usually cut with alcohol. It ain't cheap. It isn't worth the effort though. By the time you get everything it would have been cheaper and easier just to buy fuel ready to go. Also, you have no idea what the purity of the alcohol is nor the oil. If the oil isn't degummed, it will varnish up the engine. Bakers is the only maker of degummed castor that I know of.

You can get Bakers AA Castor as well as Klotz oil from Sig manufacturing. Don't buy alcohol from anywhere but a racing shop that sells Racing Methanol and Nitro. They carry pure Nitro and Methanol that is 99.9% pure (no Water) You can probably find a speed shop locally by looking on the internet under "VP Racing Fuels" or "Nitrofuel". Most of them will carry Nitro and Methanol by the gallon.
