What gas should I use?

[Simon96]

I have the warhead evo but dont know what gas to use, need help

 

[MotoGod]

None! Buy Nitro ;-) Any brand works really....stay away from Traxxas Top Fuel. Most places will sell Byron's or O'Donnell or something along those lines. Get 20% or higher....and just try to find a brand that they consistently stock.

If you need any Warhead EVO parts...let me know. I still have a bunch in my workshop! I loved my EVO when I had it....keep looking for a cheap one to pickup as well.

Thanks, do you know where to buy the cheapest spur gears?

 

[MotoGod]

Not anymore. I used to buy my parts at Tower Hobbies. I think they discontinued most of em now, but RTX-27 parts should fit as well.

Blue Thunder 30% is a great fuel !

 

[MotoGod]

I was never a fan of Blue Thunder....but a lot of guys seem to like it. I guess if you get a fresh gallon it's probably no worse than anything else out there ;-)

Wait wait wait. why stay away from top fuel by Traxxas? I always used it and thought it was decent stuff

 

[MR4X4KING]

I have allways used it and still do and will continue to run it in all my traxxas i think it runs fine and i have never had a problem
i run 20% in all except for my jato 3.3 and i use 33%

Traxxas Top Fuel is just full of oil. That's why most engines hate the stuff....and everyone says it's crap ;-)

+1. More oil = more cleaning/less power.

I just snapped a 2nd conecting rod.. 1 in each engine so far at 2-3 gallons NO MORE TOP FUEL i used to think it was good stuff HAHAHAHAHA the joke was on me.... I had good luck with trinity monster horsepower.. that i think has 12% what do you guys think of trinity monster power???? It ends up running hot and there is still a good smoke trail so you really can't fine tune perfect and can't keap a friggin tune neither... I even called them to ask about their fuel and they told me they couldnt say what was in it for a mixture or a percentage... If they can't tell you there is something wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They tried to say that there is no such thing as too much oil in the fuel..

 

[MotoGod]

Trinity is decent fuel......not my first pick, but I ran a few gallons in my basher and it tuned pretty well. No complaints other than the LHS stopped carrying it. lol

They tried to say that there is no such thing as too much oil in the fuel..

In that case, can I just buy a gallon of oil?

 

[mtaylortank]

thats what I was thinking kinda..... he tried telling me he runs 24% sometimes but wont tell me what traxxas percent was... so does that mean it's higher than that??

 

[Kfarron1]

Run some Blue Thunder 30%

good stuff !

 

[Raiden101]

Didn't everyone already go over this?

Stick to O'Donnell Speed Blend and Byron Gen2 Race if they are available. Good alternatives if they aren't is original O'Donnell race, blue thunder hp8, and Sidewinder.

Just today I switched to Bryon from Traxxas, omg what a difference it made on my Pico .26. Night & day performance & starting. Never again will that trash be in my RCs.
