Well...first of all, your r/c/ car and airplanes run on a mix of methanol and between 5-25% nitromethane. if you are trying to cut corners to make the hobby cost efficient you are gonna have to just give the hobby up!
These motors are designed to run on a small amount of nitro to make the power needed to propel the car or airplane.
Unfortunately, there are no corners to cut to save you money!
If the fuel is to expensive for you, then I think that you need to find another hobby that is cheaper for you.
Why don't you try an electric r/c car? A whole lot cheaper to run!
