Thats only a claim. There is no standard way of measuring hp of a RC engine. It's a pretty much worthless figure in regards to RC engines.

And the fuel is not 20% Nitro and 80% alcohol.

There are RC dynos, but there isn't a standard way measuring. There are numerous dynos proven to give vastly different results for the same engine. The HP of an engine is only a claimed output. It's of no real value.

Fuel is 20% nitro, there is also 10%,15%, 16%, 30%. The problem with you post is that it's not 20% nitro and 80% alcohol. There is all sorts of synthetic oils in there.
If they didn't, you would have to mix it in since they are two stroke engines.
