Fuel Brands

[Teejay]

Well I've been using richs Brew 20% on my revo 3.3, well my hobby store doesn't carry it anymore because they wont send anymore, so i bought some of that new Powermaster 20% from TAC company, well my car runs like and wont hold a tune, wont idle correctly, so now I'm going to try traxxas top fuel, hopefully it is better, anyone have this problem with the New Powermasters?

Have you tried changing your plug and starting from stock needle settings?

What other brands do they carry? I don't like the sound of anything you've run in that Revo yet... Get yourself some O'Donnell Speed Blend or some Byron's Gen2 Race and you'll be set, never look back.

Traxxas Top Fuel is garbage, it has like 14% or 17% oil in it which is wayyyyyyyyy too much. I've seen a 3.3 running at 320* on 33% Top Fuel that was blowing so much smoke it looked like he was still running break-in needle settings.

I'm with 10 gauge i never even heard of that powermaster maybe you can use it to kill weeds.:

Byron's Gen 2 is one of the best fuels. Been running it on my associated gt2 and it runs perfect.

I thought traxxas top fuel was good/better then some of the others, Thought it was good for the engine...

I'll have to check my lhs for another fuel brand...

IMO, Traxxas Top Fuel is crap! I never had any engine run good on that junk. I have stuck with Odonnell 20% for years now and love it.

I run Traxxas Top Fuel and that works great for me, never had a problem with the stuff.

This is where i get mine, they have free shipping.

Fox, switch to a fuel that's actually good and you'll wonder why you ever messed with the Top Fuel junk.

I'm gonna try something different next time if its available, usually the only have the traxxas fuel or this other stuff called blue mountain I think....

Order some on the internet they ship ups ground tower hobbies has o donell

Powermaster is pretty good fuel. We have a few locals that run it and say they love it.

If its Blue Thunder its a great fuel, its all i run and the power and tunes are consistent. I like Odonnell too though

I ran Sidewinder Kool Power and had really good results.

Depends on which Blue Thunder it is. The Blue Thunder Sport is garbage, the HP8 is good enough to pass as usable in my book.

Original O'Donnell fuel is good too (the clear stuff, nothing like the way it burns your eyes either! hahahaha), but their new Speed Blend pretty much drops a deuce on everything out there right now.

I ran Sidewinder Kool Power and had really good results.

Sidewinder isn't bad, I put that in the passable column as well.

++ o donell

 

[MudSlinger33]

I run either O'Donnell or monster horsepower.

 

[NCNitro]

I ran Trinity Monster before I went to Odonnell, I liked that as well.

Thats funny cuz thats what I'm running, The Sport. I think its a good fuel. If i could buy Trinity that would be all i would buy, so far from what I've run it was the best fuel by far.
