HAVE A MMGT 3.0 JUST PUT IN A .21 ENGINE FROM AE RIGHT I USE TRAXXS TOP FUEL 20% POWER PLUS ANY ONE KNOW WHAT FUEL WOULD BE BEST TO USE I DONT RACE RIGHT NOW BUT I PLAN ON SOON

For_The_Win

Anything but traxxas is good,

jermainezey

whats wrong with traxxs thats what am using now am using the 20 % top fuel when i had the .18 in my truck it was the only one the keep the engine from over heating, i just put in the .21 i haveing run it yet all i did was cran it and i let it run for bout 2 min and i anit crank it up no more yet

Traxxas fuel tends to leave a brown residue, from the ignitors that are in the fuel, BUT it never builds up to cause a problem, it seems more like a stain than anything.

jermainezey

yea i seen that in my old .18 but it was just in the manifold and very lil was in the pipe

i did the same in the beginning on my mini mgt 3.0. it left brown all over inside my engine. on my cooling head, on my exhaust and its a pain to clean. i switched to S&W and good to go but now since i dotn want to drive an hour anymore im switching to byrons gen 2.

I like to use Blue Thunder in my RC10GT 20% it keeps the thing cooler compared to others I tried

jermainezey

i been thinking about blue thunder am still using the same fuel but am out now so am think should i keep useing what i been using or try some thing new, am really thinking about stick to what am using all my car seems to be runing fine off the traxxas 20 % top fuel , am use it in my mmgt 3.0 that i have a .21 engine in now my red cat off road buggy that have a vx .18 i plan to use it in my on road car and my traxxas stampede as soon as i get those built

i personally like the byrons gen 2 . i have several diferent types of engine and they all like byrons gen 2!!!!!!!!!!!
they say o donnell is the closest to it ,but i have a gallon[couldnt get byrons at the time] and it is not as
good ,imo. the reason why i say that each engine reacts different to it ,unlike the byrons.

jermainezey

what per cent nitro u used

rcslsafut

i use 20 % . from what i have read it depends on WHAT you are running .it seems to me its general practice by most ,30% big blocks,20% small blocks.
also from what i have read ,blue thunder has a higher amount of castor oil so it can make it fussy for tune. [this forum,r/c car engines, sticky;eng tuning]
about the fifth page . anyway that it my experiance. i know that traxxas fuel is not the best either. i have been told by SEVERAL poeple that byrons,o donnel
fuels are the way to !

jermainezey

i have big block and small blocks engines i have off and on road , i have cars,trucks and buggies i want to use a fuel that will work will in all right i used the traxxas 20% because i get it by the gallon at my lsh for 25.00 bucks

rcslsafut

i too have big blocks and small blocks . when i run traxxas fuel it works ,it just seems to me that it is not as clean or the mixture is just not right for some
reason . try bryons man, i am sure you will like it !!!!!!!!! especailly if your running different engines as you say. another thing i personally dont like about the o
donnells is there is no color in it and its hard to see in the tank and fuel lines . thats just my oppinion. i have not tried them all but i know several poeple that have
they say the same thing .

jermainezey

does the bryons fuel have any color to it

rcslsafut

ya its kind amber or gold color

daveschutt

TQ 30% or Blue Thunder 20%. Both are cheap and work really well. Stay away from nitrotane

jermainezey

[quote]Blue Thunder 20%. is the fuel i been thinking about using i just have had the time to price it at my lhs

Lord Maccrage

I use O'Donnel 20% and I love it! The fact that there is no color is kind of a down side, but doesn't bother me that much. Its only 21 bux at my LHS right now.
