i use traxxas top fuel its great you dont have to use after run oil and about the engine thing all i can say is clear it and start over

All engine reacts differently on different brand of nitro fuel sad to say but you would have to experiment solo with this one, in my case my Thunder Tiger .15 works best with Biron fuel and O'Donnell 20% any other fuel will not run it's best for me, Now on my O.S 18 CVRX Blue Thunder Racing fuel 30% is the one for this engine no other fuel will work for me, other than that Blue Thunder Sport works great for my Big Block .28 and 457 XTM just my two cents.

thanks guys, i was kinda hoping that wasnt the answer but i had a feeling. i cant even imagine a beginner rc'r trying nitro, ive been around rc for a long time so ive been able to pick things up but dang its quite a learning curve:eek:

i use Dynamite blue thunder sport 20%.
ive used 20, 25, and 30% nitro all in similar engines, and i prefer top fuel 30%, but i really couldnt see much of a difference.

BTW what engine you have?

just to clear thing out I'm not saying that different type of fuel will harm your engine, all I'm saying is witch fuel works all out it's best on different type of engines. Dooring my experience on Nitro cars since 1990 what I text before is my knowledge and experience on nitro cars maybe others had better results then what I did. :)

BTW what engine you have?

i guess thatd help right, its an o.s. max .15, its used and was broken in with 20%, i also got a lot of info from the nitro crowd between races, my shopping list is loooonnngggg!:D

few guys at the track run the old gt and told me everything i needed to hear as well as stuff thatd i didnt even think of.

i have used odonnel and nitrotane with good results

[Fiero_Man_121]

i used odonnel at the track today (fuel moocher:p) the beast seemed to like it so thats probably what ill buy this week.

got it running nice too, i think i need a new end bell and clutch though as i notice it took a bit to catch

anyway thanks guys!

Byron's is the best fuel hands down. Trinity is also good, but can't seem to find it anywhere. I like them the best because they burn clean. I also have nothing bad to say about losi or O'd.

I want to try some torco.

[Fiero_Man_121]

thanks again, going up to the shop next time i get motivated, ran out of gas pretty quick (ran it a lot)

OD's is all I've ever used and no complaints.

[slashman21]

byron fuels is what i trust

[hoosier_rc_nut]

blue thunder 20%

[savage24x]

Traxxas Top Fuel.

I have used several different brands and still go back to O'Donnell. After engine inspection and overall engine life, I will stick with it.
