Id suggest Trinity 20% Horsepower. . I run it in my savage. Its good stuff
 
i used to use blue thunder and it was ok, but i switched to white lightning and saw a big difference in idle, power, temps, and everything.. now white lightning is all i use, it has the same 20% nitro, but only 8% oil so it burns cleaner, and gives you more power then the blue thunder 20%. just dont forget the ARO as the white lightning doesn't leave a oil film in the engine like the smurf juice does.


btw: the exaust fumes on the white lightning are very strong, (not as strong as rocket science) so if you run indoors it may not be a good thing for you,
 
before i upgradedmy engine I had that same motor. I ran trinity 20 and 30% through it. I prefer the 30 over the 20%. Being new, I would stick to the 20 for now.

Everyone has their favorite brand of fuel to use. Your gonna get 10 different answers..lol
 
everybody has their own favorite brand. i used to use odonnel, now i use monster horsepower 20% and like it a lot more.
 
i was hoping to get a bunch of answers... in fact was leaning towrds trinity... any need to use the break-in fuel? thanks again guys!
 
Yeah that is trure... you are going to get a variety of answers. I prefer O'donell just because its easy to keep a tune. Used to run Byrons (great smell) it was hard, for me at least, to keep a tune. Its really up to you all of the brands mentioned above are good.
 
Traxxas or Byrons. I run a lot of my mills on Traxxas 20 and 30% and I have little to no tuning issues. For my race mills I run Byrons 25 or 30%.
