I've never heard of it personally. I'd try and find some Byrons 20%. Maybe some body else will chime in with some experience with it. A sub-par fuel will lead you to many headaches.
 
i have some of it ...and some sidewinder ,,,havent used the sidewinder yet ....

the reason i ask , is because i find that my truck runs a bit hot even in below 30 deg weather

i will try the sidewinder next time i take it out ...just wanted to know if anyone had used it
 
I've used it ages ago. I was such a tuning noob then all I can truthfully say is it seemed OK. It dyed the engine pink if I remember correctly.
 
I broke my 3.3 in on Morgan Backyard Basher (20% nitro, 16% oil), and then switched to Sidewinder. I think it's a great fuel, my tune stays consistant, the motor makes outstanding power, even beating the dog snot out of it temp. never gets over 215. I haven't had any experience with the other brand you mentioned though.

I've run the Kool Power 20% heli fuel in my Revo and never had a problem with it at all.
 
Nitro Fuel

We only use 20 percent S&W Fuel :D,their fuel is great quality and keeps a tune very well and it is very easy on motors.:p:
