What bracd of gas to get?

[black4x4]

I was wondering what type off gas to use on my tmaxx, i want to see what people use also.

And anyone know where i can order a hummvee body.

opps typo on the title. Brand is what i meant

I use Sidewinder 20% in my nirto rigs. I would think any fuel will be ok as long as you use the percentage that the manufacturer suggests.

Proline makes a Humvee body for the Maxx--is yours a 2.5 or a 3.3?

3.3. i was just gonna use the traxxas fuel and see. i live in new york and theres a hobby shop the has traxxas fuel and i might get 15 or 20% fuel and break it in. whats the diffrence between fuel percents

Percentage of nitro in the fuel blend--15% nirto vs. 20% nitro. You can run 20% without ill effects and the 20% actually has more castor oil in it thus adding additional lubrication as well (usually 12% oil).

BTW--Traxxas fuel isn't the best out there. If you can get O'Donnell's or Sidewinder you will be better off.

Traxxas engines usually like Traxxas fuel. I personally haven't ever had a problem with it. I'm a poor boy, I usually run whatever I can buy the cheapest and/or is readily available at the lhs.
BTW, the % of nitro has nothing to do with the % of oil. The amount of oil is determined by the intended purpose of the fuel by the manufacturer. Race blends have less oil content than general purpose blends at the same nitro content %.

I use elimnator 20%

i use monster trinity fuel %20 i used to use traxxas top %20 but it seems to me like the traxxas top eats at the engine bearings.

i would go with Byron's 20% if you can find it
