I currently use 20% duratrax red fuel in my t-maxx and have been since I got my tmaxx a few weeks ago. Well I'm running out and will have to get some more fuel in the next couple days. My LHS does not carry red fuel. Will I be able to run any 20% nitro fuel that they carry?
 
Yes, as long as it states that it is for model car/truck engines. It should have a oil content of 12% or more. some have up to an 18% oil content.
 
yes but make sure the fuel is 20% and also when u switch fuels make sure that u dont do any hard running cause the engine needs to adjust to the new fuel when I switch fuels I will run about 2-4 tanks of fuel as if I were breaking in the engine.
 
keep the same ratio of nitro and oil also. 20% nitro and whatever you had oil %
