I've tried a plehtora of different types of fuel over the years in everything ranging from a Cox .049 to a .26 Pico Outlaw and nothing gives me more consistent good performacnce then O'Donnel and Team Sidewinder..........O'Donnnel being my fave but it can be hard to get (Tower always has it). The Sidewinder 20% "Race Fuel" with 12% oil is my favorite daily driver gas and they also make a great mix called "Backyard basher"!!

Peace
 
ya i have tried many different kinds of gas also. i have gone through blue thunder, traxxas, o'donnell, sidewinder, and trinity. but i like the o'donnell 20% the best out of all of them. just made my trucks run alot better and cooler.

Has anyone ever tried a fuel called Rich's brew? THey have it at my LHS and it is much cheaper than what I usally run, which is duratrax red alert. I want to get the best fuel for the lest amount of money just like everyone else, where I am at all I have to choose from is this riches brew stuff, redalrt, and traxxas brand fuel. (they may have blue thiunder not sure)
 
i like trinitys monster fuel.. The o'donell fuels gives me a headache big time of the smell...
 
like i said before i love o'donnell and yes it does have a smell too it but it works the best for me. the price is about $30 for a gallon of it at my lhs. it isnt the cheapest

I've tried o'donnell's,blue thunder,monster horspower,traxxes.....in my opinion the 2 best ones i have found are o'donnell & monster horspower. My motor seems to run a "tad" hotter on the o'donnell than the monster horsepower but runs good on both of these fuels.
 
Maxy's racing fuel is the best fuel I have used, followed by O'donnel. I switched to Maxy's and my temps dropped 15 degrees. Actually had to lean it a tad, which is always a good thing when you are racing :redbuggy:
 
A buddy of mine used to run Sidewinder, but he converted to Maxy's also. It was the only fuel he would run until then.
 
I had been running this stuff called PowerMaster 20% nitro. I've heard it was rich in oil like Traxxas' Top Fuel. Since the conversion I've been breaking in the Picco on O'Donnell 20%.
 
Never heard of Maxy's either but their's a plehtora of fuel brands out their.

BTW.....O'Donnel does have some odor but it doesn't bug me and nothing works better that I've used.

Peace
 
Powermaster makes Traxxas fuel..... and I have used Top Fuel, Blue thunder, and Odonnel and Like odonnel the Best I like the smell of odonnel because it smells like gun powder hehe.... (just don't get a faceful or you will be swervin' down the road if you know what I mean)
 
I use Trinity Platinum 20%... I use to use Blue Thunder 20% but then move on to Trinity Monster 20%.. saw the difference.. then to the Platinum and Major difference... so I am sticken to the platinum..
