Hi does anybody know if the rapicon fuel is any good for your engine, is it better or worse than optifuel for a car engine?

I'm more inclined to stay with a good brand named fuel like O'Donnell, Sidewinder or Byron's. I've used the Sidewinder myself and had absolutely no problems for 4 gallons before I put a big block in my Revo. I've heard a lot of good things about the other two I listed from some of the racers I know and the guys here.

I haven't actually used any fuel other than model technics and hpi power fuel, I wanted to a different fuel for a good price because I've found a few bad posts on the ones I use and rapicon looks decent and is at a very good price for a gallon in Ireland. One thing I'm a bit cautious about is that the car fuel only has 11% oil and its all synthetic so I was thinking would I be better off going for their aero or heli fuel that has 21% I think

less oil!!!! between 8% and 12% is enough oil!! if you have to much oil content it will look like its running fine when it is running too lean becasue you will always have the trail of smoke nomatter what..
