Hello sir. I run 30%nitro 10%oil. Bones brew in my Tmaxx 2.5 and 3.3. And other nitros I run. But apparently they just closed shop a couple weeks ago. Nitro with 10-12% oil would be good for bashing. Under 10% oil is more for racing..

That sucks. I was about to place an order there.

I used Losi Nitrotane 20% for a little while because that’s what my LHS had in stock. It’s good fuel. My kits ran good with it. My LHS doesn’t carry it anymore more so I ordered a gallon of TNR 20%. Looking forward to trying it, but unfortunately the weather has been way too hot to run my Nitro RC’s. I’ve heard it’s really good fuel, so hopefully my trucks will run good with it

30/12 for my MT's, and 30/8 for my drag cars. Actually now 30/9 for the drag cars because Bones isn't making fuel anymore.

Traxxas 20% top fuel. It’s got a ton of oil. Which makes it finicky sometimes. But, it runs cool.

I gotta say it’s not the best choice for new RC enthusiast. But, I like the extra protection.

I've been running Sidewinder 20% nitro 12% oil "race fuel", in my .12-powered onroads, and Torco's 30% / 10% in my .18 and TRX 3.3 engines. I've probably burned about a gallon of the sidewinder and a half gallon of the Torco.

Sidewinder incorporates castor oil, the Torco doesn't, and I had some gum buildup on the piston and glow plug just doing the break in with Sidewinder, so I may go all-synthetic. That may have also been me just running it way too rich through the break in, but I thought that was the whole idea. I'll finish off what I've got and see how it looks.

Torco's 20% nitro is 14% oil, ostensibly made to run a bit leaner than the 30%, I may switch to that for my onroads.
