Fuel

[digger]

I run BT 20% for about 4 years then switched to Trinity MHP 20%. I have to drive about 125 miles round trip for the Trinity vs. 25 miles for the BT........yea I like it that much better........easier to tune and I think I get better performance but thats just MY opinion............

I drive about the same to get my Trinity fuel. Can get Odonnel about 5 miles away. Not dissing Odonnel. Just that the guy wants to break it off in ya. $35 a gallon.

Tried Traxxas once, didn't care much for it. Then I read good things about the Trinity. Not had a reason to change.

Depending on what I am running, I use Byron's 2500, 3000 or Traxxas Top Fuel 20%.

Ugh...I tried a quart of Traxxas top fuel in my buggy and I had extremely poor performance and a bunch of smoke. I guess you get what you pay for( Top Fuel was like $5.00 a quart and O'Donnals was like $8.00!)

I've been running Blue Thunder for a long time, but recently, the LHS' stopped carrying it (no idea why) so I have a gallon of Trinity Monster Brew on the shelf to try. Folks I've spoken to about it seem to like it.

Personally, had no issues with the Blue Thunder.

Todd, for some reason Top Fuel runs really good in small engines. I have never run it in my buggy or big engines, but I have heard it is not as good as others, which explains why I run Byrons for anything over .15.

I don't know where you get your fuel, but a quart of TF out here is 12.00, same as O'Donnels and Trinity. Same goes for a gallon, about the same price.

At my LHS, byrons, trinity, top fuel (all 20% nitro) is around $23 a gallon... Getting it on the net just rapes you. Although, I did have an LHS that was charging $35 a gallon, but they got bought out.

the byrons just runs so much better for me.

69.99 whether it is CD or USD is a heck of alot of money!

 

[MEGA MAXX]

its about 38-40 dollars a gallon over here in the UK.

 

[SpitFireV12RR]

DAMN! I though $20 was alot of money!

 

[MEGA MAXX]

yea think how we feel:depress:

everything is more expensive over here.

take a traxxas blue tuned pipe for example, 35 quid over here (about 60 dollars) bought it for 22 dollars off ebay in america!

same with most of my parts for my maxx, i just buy it from america.

unfortunatly the shipping cost for fuel would make it too expensive (it frobably can't be sent by air anyway:nono:

Trinity MHP is $30 at my lhs for a gallon.. Or else if I feel like driving a hour and a half I can get it for $21. a gallon..

But then you end up spending what you saved in gas...

 

[4u2nv]

yeah, plus a gallon last me a long time. I bought my savy in Feb and still dont have a full gallon threw it..

 

[SMaxxin]

There are two hobby shops about an hour away from me, and their prices are the same...$30.00 a gallon regardless of the brand or %.


Damm Andy not even a gallon since Feb. Thats one year ago......Slacker!

 

[4u2nv]

Yeah I know..lol.. If I had someone to bash with..grrr... Ill go out and burn a tank and then I usually just put it away cuz I run out of stuff to do..lol.. I've been meaning to bring it to a pit nearby.. this year..lol..

My LHS I can get 16% Traxxas for $19 a gallon, then 30% Blue thunder is like $35.99.. My LHS is a joke..

 

[Monkey Wrench]

Does the "MHP" in Trinity stand for anything? Just curious, not familiar with that type of Trinity go-go- juice!

 

[4u2nv]
