What kinda nitro do yall recommend? My lhs carries top fuel and blue thunder. One post one here said top fuel sux, so I'm curious as to what else there is that's better. And outta top or blue which would yo use?
 
Sidewinder, Byron's and O'Donnell are some of the top fuels out there. I'm running Torco at the moment....but it seems to have a mixed following. Traxxas Fuel I would stay away from unless you are running Traxxas products (So I hear anyway)....Blue Thunder...never used it. Heard mixed results about it.
 
I use Blue Thunder for breaking in my rigs. It is a high oil-content fuel and thus will help with the inital wear-in and one's tendency to lean 'er out before she is ready. After break-in I use Sidewinder. If your only choice is one of the two I would have to agree that Top Fuel blows.
 
Blue Thunder 30% with low oil content if that's your only choice. 9-10% oil is ideal. Tunes easier, starts easier and creates less excesive heat than a high oil fuel does.
 
I got the thunda. Can I buy the fuel in bulk some where, seeing how I got two gallons tonite for myself. And three of my friends need some also. My wifey actually wnet to pick it up for me...she now know fuel is not cheap. SUPRIZE
