I'm still awaiting the arrival of my Hyper 7 , and I was about to order all the "other stuff" that the rtr doesn't include and I was trying to order it all from one shop that won't have alot of shipping time involved, anyway,
I found all of what I need at Tower, except the fuel I wanted(blue thunder or byrons),, I was considering going with trinity monster hp 20%, but it only has 12% synthetic lube.
Will that be ok for the hyper 21 8 port for break-in and running? Since about 16%-18% lube is called for, but the trinity lube being synthetic may make the difference up,,I dunno?

All advice welcome,

Thanks
 
OFNA US distributor is near my house and I go there often (nitrohouse.com). Rob, resident racer, only recommends Byrons, and for the Hyper 7 series even is more specific and recommrnds the 2500 (25%).

BTW, shipping fuel is very expensive due to the flammable nature and associated shipping hazard charges. Any way you can find it more locally?

On edit:

Just checked the Byrons locator and closest one listed is in Tuscaloosa, AL, 54 miles. Yikes!
 
Wow, thats far, you may want to go in with some friends and buy a few gallons at once, so you don't have to make that trip too often.
 
I have a friend that lives in Jackson Ms. and comes up to visit regularly, I think I'll have him pick up some from there. Not a single hobby shop of any kind here.
Thanks for the advice guys.

I run byrons 20% through my hyper 8p and it loves it. I might even suggest byrons 25% because thats what I'm going to switch to as soon as I finish this gallon of 20%
